# Masks
### `#aim`
#aim Mask
**`#aim` or `#aim[True|False]`**
Takes the block the player is aiming at as the mask.
Optionally takes a True/False setting to make your aim sensitive to hitboxes.
* False will treat all blocks as full blocks. E.g. you cannot `#aim` at the block behind a button.
* True will respect the hitboxes of blocks you are looking at. E.g. you can `#aim` at the block behind a slab.
If the player is not looking at a block within range, the mask matches nothing.
### `#attached`
#attached mask
**`#attached[]`**
Masks to blocks which are attached to at least 1 adjacent non-air block.
Optionally takes a list of direction vectors to check instead of every side.\
e.g `#attached[up,down,left,north]`
\
In either case, attached means that the block is "touching" the adjacent block. So a bottom slab would not pass `#attached[up]` whereas a lantern with the state `[hanging=true]` would.
### `#blocklight`
#blocklight Mask
**`#blocklight[lightLevel]` or `#blocklight[minLevel][maxLevel]`**
Masks to blocks of a given block light (Illumination provided by light sources other than skylight). Optionally takes a minimum and maximum light level, matching any level within that range.
### `#clipblocks`
#clipblocks Mask
**`#clipblocks[][]`**\
Shorthand: **`#cb`**
Masks to blocks found in the player's clipboard.
Optional `` value of True or False to include air blocks. Defaults to **False**.\
e.g `#clipblocks[True]` includes air.
Optional `` value of True or False to determine if block data must also match. Defaults to **False**.\
e.g `#clipblocks[False][True]` matches exact block states.
### `#current`
#current mask
Shorthand: **`#c`**
A mask which represents your current global mask (gmask).
e.g running `//gmask !#current` will invert your current gmask
### `#eznoisemask`
#eznoisemask Mask
**`#eznoisemask[noisePreset][][][]`**\
**Alias: `#eznm`**
Uses a noise preset values `0.0-1.0` to match blocks above a given noise threshold.
### `#fullblock`
#fullblock mask
Masks to blocks which fill an entire cube space.
e.g 1-7 layers of snow will not pass, but 8 layers of snow, a block like stone, or a transparent block like glass will pass.
### `#fuzzypalette`
#fuzzypalette mask
**`#fuzzypalette[palette]`**
Shorthand: **`#fpalette`**
Masks to blocks which match any block in the palette, regardless of block data.\
Equivalent to **`#palette[palette][False]`**
### `#infested`
#infested mask
Masks to blocks which are infested with silverfish.
### `#lightsource`
#lightsource Mask
**`#lightsource` or `#lightsource[lightLevel]` or `#lightsource[minLevel][maxLevel]`**
Masks to blocks which emit light. Optionally takes a specific light level to match, or minimum and maximum light level, matching any level within that range.
### `#near`
#near Mask
**`#near[mask][distance]`**\
\&#xNAN;**`#near[mask][minDistance][maxDistance]`**\
\
Masks to all blocks within a given spherical (Euclidean) distance of a mask.\
Doesn't modify blocks which match the inner `mask`.\
Can also be set to exclude blocks closer than the minimum distance.\\
 **`[mask]`**
**`[distance]`**
**`[minDistance][maxDistance]`**
### `#palette`
#palette mask
**`#palette[palette][]`**
Masks to blocks which match any block in the palette.
Optional `` value of True or False to determine if block data must also match.\
e.g `oak_stairs[facing=east]` will only match with `oak_stairs[facing=west]` if strict is set to **False**.
### `#radialgradientmask`
#radialgradient mask
**`#radialgradientmask[distance][][][][]`**
Shorthand: `#rgradientm`
Masks blocks based on distance from the player. With closer blocks more likely to pass the mask check.\
Compatible with noise presets.
### `#schemblocks`
#schemblocks Mask
**`#schemblocks[][][]`**\
Shorthand: **`#sb`**
Masks to blocks found in a schematic file.
Optional `` value of True or False to include air blocks. Defaults to **False**.\
e.g `#schemblocks[mybuild][True]` includes air.
Optional `` value of True or False to determine if block data must also match. Defaults to **False**.\
e.g `#schemblocks[mybuild][False][True]` matches exact block states.
### `#truelight`
#truelight Mask
**`#truelight[lightLevel]` or `#truelight[minLevel][maxLevel]`**
Masks to blocks of a given total light level (Illimunation provided by any light sources including skylight). Optionally takes a minimum and maximum light level, matching any level within that range.
### `#vectorgradientmask`
#vectorgradientmask Mask
**`#vectorgradientmask[vector][distance][][][]`**
Shorthand: `#vgradientm`
Masks blocks along a vector with a given distance length. With closer blocks more likely to pass the mask check.\
Compatible with noise presets.
