Minecraft plugin WorldEdit

🔌 About WorldEdit

WorldEdit — is a Minecraft in‑game map editor available as a plugin or mod that lets you select, edit and generate large areas quickly. WorldEdit solves the problem of repetitive, large‑scale block edits by providing selections, schematics, copy/paste, brushes and many generation utilities. WorldEdit is suitable for server admins, builders and moderators on Java Edition servers (Bukkit/Spigot/Paper) as well as modded clients (Fabric/NeoForge).

🎯 Purpose

WorldEdit enables fast world editing without manual block‑by‑block changes. Typical use cases include terrain shaping, mass replacement, schematic import/export and rapid structure prototyping. WorldEdit reduces time for builders and gives admins tools to repair griefing or restore regions. ()

⚙ Core features

• Selections (region selection, pos1/pos2, wand tools) — fast area selection. ()
• Clipboard operations: copy, cut, paste, rotate, flip. ()
• Schematics: save/load/import/export of schematics. ()
• Generation & shapes: spheres, cylinders, walls, procedural expressions. ()
• Brushes and tools for terraforming. ()
• History with undo/redo and limits. ()
• Platform versatility: plugin (Bukkit/Spigot/Paper) and mod (Fabric/NeoForge/Forge). ()

🧩 Who it's for

WorldEdit is aimed at:

• Server administrators who need efficient world management.
• Builders and creative teams who prototype structures.
• Moderators repairing grief or applying mass fixes. WorldEdit is not a gameplay balancing tool — it's an editor for Java Edition environments. ()

🏗 Example usages

• Paste a city schematic into a world and rotate it to fit streets.
• Replace a biome's surface blocks across a large selection.
• Undo mass changes after a mistaken operation using history/undo.
• Use brushes to sculpt mountains interactively. ()
