Minecraft plugin WorldEditSUI

🔌 About WorldEditSUI

WorldEditSUI — is a Minecraft plugin that visualizes WorldEdit selections using customizable particles. It aims to provide a server‑side alternative to client mods (WorldEditCUI) so players don't need client installs. WorldEditSUI focuses on simplicity, performance and low memory usage and supports cuboid, sphere/ellipsoid, cylinder and 2D polygonal selections as well as clipboard display from //copy.

🎯 Purpose

WorldEditSUI solves the problem of not being able to see WorldEdit selections on unmodded clients by rendering selections server‑side as particles. It is useful for builders, staff and developers who need visual feedback of regions without requiring client mods.

⚙ Core features

• Server‑side visualization of WorldEdit selections with particles
• Support for cuboid, sphere/ellipsoid, cylinder and polygon (2D) selections
• Toggleable clipboard display (//copy) and ability to show WorldGuard regions with /wesui showregion
• Configurable particle type, amount, send interval and advanced grid option
• Selection size limits and bypass permission
• Caching option to reduce repeated calculation overhead

🧩 Who it fits

• Spigot/Paper servers wanting a client‑free selection visualizer
• Creative and build servers that need visual tools for builders
• Admins who want plugin commands and permissions to control visibility
• Works alongside WorldEdit and FastAsyncWorldEdit / AsyncWorldEdit variants. ()

🏗 Usage examples

• Builders preview large selection outlines with a lightweight particle grid before copy/paste.
• Staff visually confirm a WorldGuard region boundary using /wesui showregion .
• Players toggle personal selection visibility with /wesui toggle during a build session.

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the plugin jar from the official Spigot page or GitHub Releases.
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Restart the server (do not use /reload).
• On first run the plugin will create its configuration files under /plugins/WorldEditSUI/.

📦 Dependencies

🧾 Configuration

• The plugin generates a config.yml with options such as particle, clipboard‑particle, particles‑per‑block, particle‑send‑interval, max‑selection‑size‑to‑display, cache‑calculated‑positions and advanced‑grid.
• Supports per‑server tuning of particle counts, intervals and a caching toggle to reduce CPU overhead for repeated large selections. See config examples on the Spigot page and GitHub. ()

Database

• No database (MySQL/SQLite) usage is documented in official sources.

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts & limitations

• Very large selections can increase CPU usage; plugin has a configurable max‑selection‑size to avoid server lag.
• Some particle types require newer Minecraft versions; older server versions may not support certain particles.
• FAWE/WorldEdit version mismatches can affect behavior — use the WorldEdit variant appropriate for your server version. ()
