    Thanks!
    As of now no, unfortunately. The engine doesn't store voxels in the same way Minecraft does. However, we do have a plan for a future version that maayyy solve this limitation.

    It's live on the asset store! Took a while had to sort out documentation issues. Apperantly the asset store isn't a fan of HTML & Javascript Documentation :(

    Would be cool, but for this price it's a hard pass.
