• Add a blueprint to that voxel world

• In the BP class settings add the BPI_DiggingActor interface

• Implement the Try to dig function in 4.26, just double click the function

• Add the following node. Make sure the radius is set to 50 (that's for a voxel size of 20 - for a larger voxel size, you'll want a larger radius)

• Go back to your level. If the voxel world is invisible, try clicking the Toggle button in the voxel world details panel.

• Set the Voxel Size to 20, the generator Color to orange and the Voxel Material to M_VoxelMaterial_Colors

• Go to your voxel world blueprint and do the same. Set the Voxel Size to 20, the generator Color to orange and the Voxel Material to M_VoxelMaterial_Colors
