facedir modulo 4 = axisdir
0 = y+ 1 = z+ 2 = z- 3 = x+ 4 = x- 5 = y-
facedir's two less significant bits are rotation around the axis
+ paramtype2 == "leveled"
+ ^ The drawn node level is read from param2, like flowingliquid
Nodes can also contain extra data. See "Node Metadata".
The "nodebox" node drawtype allows defining visual of nodes consisting of
arbitrary number of boxes. It allows defining stuff like stairs. Only the
-"fixed" box type is supported for these.
+"fixed" and "leveled" box type is supported for these.
^ Please note that this is still experimental, and may be incompatibly
changed in the future.
A box of a regular node would look like:
{-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5},
+type = "leveled" is same as "fixed", but y2 will be automaticaly setted to level from param2

Ore types
---------------
These tell in what manner the ore is generated.
--------------------------------
Position/vector:
{x=num, y=num, z=num}
-Currently the API does not provide any helper functions for addition,
-subtraction and whatever; you can define those that you need yourself.
+For helper functions see "Vector helpers".
