VoxelSniper version 7.1.0 - VoxelSniper-7.1.0-SNAPSHOT-all.jar build:414
This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-0359393-9cd1111 (MC: 1.8.8) (Implementing API version 1.8.8-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)

can you add to the error message when an incorrect command is used how to properly use the command instead of telling me nothing on how to use the command.

ie:
currently "/b ball smooth" errors with "Could not find a brush part named smooth"

would be much more informative to tell me something like:
"Could not find a brush part named smooth"
"useage: /b [<#size>,ball,voxel,disc,etc...] [blend,melt,etc...]"

for a first time user it is very frustrating to try and figure out what the command is supposed to do/how to use it. i've watched the videos. but i prefer a list of written commands i can reference at a glance. and the wiki, while informative, doesn't seem to quite tell me everything i want to know.

also noticed none of the /voxelhelp doesn't include any syntax useage. /voxelhelp -or- /help voxelsniper should, by itself, list all the commands voxelsniper has to offer so the user/admin can fine the tool they are looking for easily when they forget... it happens to everyone..

+for not officially supporting 1.8 yet. it seems to work fine for me :)

-PS. were some brushes removed? the youtube video has fill,smooth,lift,melt but they don't work/ don't exist.

Version 7.1.0 was a complete rewrite as compared to 5.139 (the last version for 1.7) some brushes and documentation is still missing. The usage of the brush command does not work like that, its a lot more free flowing. Any videos are out of date at this point.

There is less so a specific action that needs to be undertaken for this but rather a general need for documentation, in-game help, and error responses which can be fixed once the plugin is feature complete.

sounds like you got this. good to know. thanks :)

EDIT: PS. will the new documentation read more like world-edit? ie: mask instead of alias, the videos were tripping me out with that. i'd assume they were made before worldedit or something.

what is the permission node to give players access to voxelsniper (all commands access, ie: voxelsniper.command.*)? or has that not been added yet?

should be voxelsniper.command.*

unless voxelsniper needs a server restart every time i change permissions related to it. it's not working. only OP's can use it atm.

Error message:
