As of Dec 27 2012, the ScriptCraft mod includes just a few built-in objects and functions to make building easier.
* print(message) - prints a message on the command screen. e.g. `/js print(1+3);`
* getMousePos() - A function which returns the current position of the cross-hairs (if a block is selected)
* echo( message ) - displays a message on the player's screen. e.g. `/js echo( 1 + 3 )` or `/js echo ("Hello World")`
* getMousePos() - A function which returns the current position of the cross-hairs (if a block is targeted)
* getPlayerPos() - A function which returns the current position of the player.
* putBlock(x,y,z,blockId,metaData) - A function which lets you place a block anywhere (if no coordinates are given the block the player is currently looking at is replaced).
* getBlock(x,y,z) - returns the blockId and metadata at the given location (if no coordinates are given the cross-hair location is used)
* putSign(String[] texts, x,y,z,blockId, metaData) - A function which lets you place a sign.
* putBlock( x, y, z, blockId, metaData ) - A function which lets you place a block anywhere (if no coordinates are given the block the player is currently looking at is replaced).
* getBlock( x, y, z ) - returns the blockId and metadata at the given location (if no coordinates are given the cross-hair location is used)
* putSign( String[] texts, x, y, z, blockId, metaData ) - A function which lets you place a sign.
The above primitives can be used to create buildings which would otherwise be time-consuming to create manually.
It is highly recommended using the attached [drone][drone] javascript plugin which provides a fluent API for building.
The Javascript `Drone` class provides a much richer API which can be used to construct buildings. See the attached
[cottage.js][cottage] file for an example of how to load and use the `drone.js` module.

Functions in MCP version of Scriptcraft (no longer supported).
* help() - Brings up a short help message.
* load('path-to-script.js') - lets you load and execute any javascript source file. Calling load() with no parameters will bring up a File Chooser dialog. (In the context of script files, the $SCRIPT js variable will refer to the current script filename and $SCRIPTPATH refers to the directory in which the current script resides.)
* load('path-to-script.js') - lets you load and execute any javascript source file. In the context of script files, the `__script` variable will refer to the current script filename and `__folder` refers to the directory in which the current script resides. In the MCP (Minecraft Coder Pack) version of ScriptCraft, calling `load()` with no parameters will bring up a File Chooser dialog. This feature was removed from the multi-player bukkit version of ScriptCraft.
