Functions
Voxel Toolkit ships 74 functions. Every one is off by default — enable only what you need from Voxel Toolkit → Functions, then use Configure to open its settings.
Enabling a function only loads its code
Disabled functions are not initialised, so leaving the rest switched off costs you nothing at runtime. Toggling a function off later stops it running but does not delete its settings.
Linked names open the full guide for that function. Settings marks functions with their own configuration screen; the rest work as soon as they are enabled.
