Go Paint Advanced Plugin FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get the paint tool when I first join?
Type /gopaint wand to receive the painting wand directly into your inventory, or ask an admin to give you the default feather tool. Once you have it, left-click to open the brush menu.
Why is my server lagging when I paint large areas?
Go Paint Advanced Plugin runs painting calculations asynchronously by default, so lag shouldn't occur during normal use. If you experience issues, check that your brush size isn't extremely large and confirm the plugin has reloaded with /gopaint reload.
How do I save my brush settings so I don't lose them?
Hold any item in your inventory, then type /gopaint export to save your current brush configuration onto that item. Later, hold the same item and type /gopaint import to load those settings back into your menu.
What's the difference between Paint Brush and Spray Brush?
Paint Brush draws continuous lines when you sneak and right-click, giving you precise control like a traditional brush. Spray Brush scatters materials randomly across your target area with density decreasing from the center, useful for natural-looking terrain.
Can I paint only the top surface of blocks without affecting underground?
Yes—use the Overlay Brush, which only colors surfaces that have open air directly above them, or use the surface filter modes in your brush menu to paint exposed blocks only.
Does this plugin work with WorldEdit?
Yes, Go Paint Advanced Plugin connects directly with WorldEdit setups, allowing you to combine both tools for faster world shaping and more complex building workflows.
Will painting destroy block properties like rotation or facing direction?
No—the plugin preserves original block properties such as rotation and block states when repainting, so doors, stairs, and directional blocks keep their orientation.
Can I use this in Survival mode or only Creative?
The plugin works in both Creative and Survival game modes, though you'll need appropriate permissions and access to the blocks you want to paint in Survival.
How do I change my brush size quickly without opening the menu?
Type /gopaint size in chat to instantly adjust your active brush radius without opening the customization menu.
What does the Bucket Brush do?
The Bucket Brush recolors all connected blocks of the same type like a flood fill tool, making it ideal for quickly changing large uniform areas of a single material.
