This page does not serve as documentation for the plugin. This page contains summaries, clarifications of certain topics, frequently referenced sections, etc. If you are generally looking for information on how to use the plugin, how to set it up, and how it works, you should always refer to the documentation of the plugin.
WorldEdit Plugin
The WorldEdit plugin is one of the most famous, if not the most famous plugin (and mod) used to easily manipulate blocks in the world. For that reason, this section does not cover basic WorldEdit features, there are countless WorldEdit tutorials on the internet in various forms.
Installation
You can install WorldEdit like any other plugin - by uploading the plugin (.jar) file to the /plugins/ directory and then restarting the server. WorldEdit is also a mod, so be careful not to accidentally download it instead of a plugin.
Schematics
Schematic is a file format used to store parts of the world. It is most commonly used when sharing buildings so that the entire world doesn’t have to be uploaded.
Pasting a schematic file
You can paste a schematic file into a world as follows:
- Move/upload the .schematic file to
/plugins/WorldEdit/schematics/directory - Load schematic with
//schem load <filename>(filename cannot contain space) - Load the schematic with
//paste(if you want to undo the changes, use//undocommand)
Creating schematic file
You can create a schematic file as follows:
- Get wand using
//wandcommand and mark the area you want to save in the schematic file (with wand in your hand, select one corner with the right button and the other with the left button) - Execute the
//copycommand - Execute the
//schem save <filename>command
After that, <file name>.schematic file will be created in /plugins/WorldEdit/schematics/ directory.
Lags/server crashing
If you are operating with a large number of blocks which is causing lags or even crash, the easiest solution is to use the FAWE (FastAsyncWorldEdit) plugin.
