Fast Async World Edit Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using Fast Async World Edit after installing it?
Get a wand tool (usually by typing a command like //wand), then left-click and right-click in the world to select a rectangular area. Once selected, you can run commands like //lazycopy or //undo on that region.
What's the difference between //fast and normal editing?
//fast bypasses the logging system that tracks who changed which blocks, making edits process even faster. Use it when you don't need a history record of the changes, such as during large terraforming projects where rollback isn't a concern.
Can I undo edits from days ago?
Yes, the mod stores unlimited undo history per world, so you can revert changes as far back as you need. Each world keeps its own separate undo stack.
Why is my server still lagging when I use this plugin?
The plugin processes edits asynchronously to prevent lag, but extremely massive selections or running many edits simultaneously can still strain the server. Try breaking large projects into smaller chunks or using //fast if you don't need logging.
How do I check who changed a specific block?
Use the //inspect command on the block you want to investigate, and the plugin will show you a history of edits made to that location.
Can I copy a structure and paste it on a different server?
Yes, the mod supports sharing clipboards across servers on the same network, so you can copy on one server and paste on another without re-creating the structure.
What happens if I try to load a broken schematic file?
The plugin automatically attempts to fix corrupted schematic files when you load them, so you won't lose your work to file corruption.
Do player edit limits prevent me from building?
The plugin sets smart per-player limits to stop accidental server crashes from huge edits, but these limits are designed to allow normal large-scale building. If you hit a limit, break your project into multiple smaller edits.
Will this plugin speed up other plugins on my server?
Yes, it boosts the performance of other plugins that rely on world editing tools, so you may see overall server improvements beyond just the editing commands themselves.
Can I use brushes and tools to paint biomes or generate caves?
Yes, the plugin includes advanced brushes and tools for painting biomes, generating caves, and mixing blocks together for more natural terrain building.
