P.S. If you accidentally delete the ground, just type respawn_planet and pretend it didn't happen. We’ve all been there.
The Vanilla Rule: Break a support voxel, and everything above it crumbles according to stress and gravity. The Cheat: toggle_structural_integrity 0
The best cheat code isn't in the console. It's the understanding that voxel destruction is just data. And data can be lied to. Slow time down ( slomo 0.1 ) and detonate a nuke—watch the shockwave crawl through each individual cube like a blooming flower. Speed it up ( slomo 10 ) and a simple pickaxe swing becomes a railgun, tearing a perfectly straight kilometer-long trench through a mountain.
The Vanilla Rule: Explosions affect a spherical radius. Damage falls off over distance. The Cheat: voxel_chain_reaction 500 (then hit a single voxel with a pebble) cheat codes in voxel destruction physics
This is the forbidden undo. The engine constantly stores the last 10 seconds of destruction data in a circular buffer. This cheat lets you "rewind" time for individual voxels or entire regions. That bridge you blew up? Hold [ and left-click the rubble. The voxels will uncrumble, flying backwards in perfect reverse-trajectory, reassembling into a pristine bridge. But here’s the exploit: the "mass" value doesn't reset correctly. If you destroy, then rewind, then destroy again, you duplicate the mass. Do this ten times on a single boulder, and you’ve created a super-dense "black hole voxel" with the mass of a small moon. Drop it on a fortress. The physics engine won't know what hit it.
Forget bullets. Turn your mining laser into a paintbrush of chaos . With this script, you don't destroy voxels; you redefine them on impact. Hit a wooden door—it turns into liquid water voxels and floods the hallway. Hit a steel support beam—it turns into "jelly" physics, wobbling and stretching before snapping. The most broken combination? Map "material = antimatter" to your reload key. Any voxel you touch becomes a volatile annihilator that detonates on contact with normal matter. Carve a tunnel by deleting reality itself. Build a castle, then walk through it turning the bricks to "gas" voxels behind you. You’re not a player anymore. You’re a demigod of the periodic table.
Welcome to the debug menu. Don’t tell the developers we sent you. The Vanilla Rule: Break a support voxel, and
This is the "butterfly effect" code. Normally, destruction is local. With this active, every destroyed voxel has a 500% chance to transfer its kinetic energy to the next identical material type within a 3-voxel radius. You don't blow up a wall. You create a propagation wave . Hit a single dirt block in a mountain range, and watch a seismic fracture race through the entire formation at the speed of sound. Hit the corner of a concrete bunker, and a white-hot line of disintegration will follow the rebar voxels like veins of lightning. The cheat turns your weapon into a "seed" for a beautiful, catastrophic fractal. Warning: Do not use this near bases made of a single material type.
Now it gets weird. You can now walk through solid rock. More importantly, you can delete voxels from the inside out without ever breaching the surface. The "ghost" visual mode shows you the structural skeleton of any object as a translucent wireframe. You can then target and delete a single, crucial "linchpin" voxel buried deep inside a massive structure. From the outside, nothing changes. The building looks perfect. But the moment any external force (wind, a footstep, a butterfly) touches it? The internal hollowing triggers a pancake collapse so complete that the building doesn't fall—it implodes into a perfect cube of dust. It’s the stealth assassin’s dream. Leave no trace until you leave the room.
So go ahead. Break the rules. Crash the framerate. Turn your GPU into a space heater. Because in a world where everything can crumble, the only real limit isn't the physics—it's whether you remembered to save first. And data can be lied to
The Vanilla Rule: Wood is wood. Stone is stone. They break differently. The Cheat: bind_mouse1 "paint_voxel material = explosive"

The Vanilla Rule: Destroyed voxels are gone. They despawn or turn into debris. The Cheat: history_buffer_load 0.5 (half-second rollback)
