World Edit Mod FAQ

Give yourself the wand item (usually via the //wand command) and left-click one corner of the area you want to edit, then right-click the opposite corner. Once you have a selection, run a command like //set or //replace to change the blocks inside it.

Left-clicking a block sets your first position, and right-clicking sets your second position. Together these two corners define the cuboid region that all your commands will affect.

Use the selection commands like //hpos1 and //hpos2 to set corners where you're looking, or switch to a polygonal or convex selection mode with //sel. Non-cuboid selections let you match irregular shapes before running edits.

Type //undo to reverse your last edit. You can keep running //undo to step back through previous operations, and //redo brings them forward again if you change your mind.

On a server, WorldEdit commands are gated behind permission nodes that admins control. If you're not op or don't have the right permissions, ask the server owner to grant them or check whether a plugin is restricting your access.

Select the build, run //copy, then move to where you want it and run //paste. You can rotate or flip the clipboard with //rotate and //flip before pasting.

Brushes let you apply an edit repeatedly as you right-click or left-click, instead of running a command each time. Bind one with /brush followed by the brush type and its settings, then click in the world to paint terrain.

The most common causes are an empty or invalid selection, a block limit that your edit exceeds, or a typo in the command. Re-check your selection with //size and confirm the block names you used are valid.

Yes, but large edits can lag the server and affect other players' builds. Use it carefully, respect any region protections, and coordinate with admins before making big changes.

WorldEdit generally works alongside most building and protection mods, though some blocks from other mods may not be recognized by every command. If a command fails on modded blocks, try selecting and editing with vanilla blocks first to confirm the tool is working.

It is a server-side building toolset that lets you edit terrain in bulk using commands, selections, and brushes. You can create, replace, or delete tens of thousands of blocks, copy and paste areas, and save builds as schematics.

It adds commands, selections, schematics, copy and paste, brushes, and scripting for editing the world in-game. It also supports complex deformations and mathematical expressions for terrain generation.

The Modrinth project page lists Minecraft versions 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2, and 26.3.

It works with bukkit, fabric, folia, forge, neoforge, paper, quilt, and spigot. The author notes it is compatible with NeoForge, Fabric, and Bukkit-based platforms such as Spigot and Paper.

No. WorldEdit requires the Java version of Minecraft and does not support Bedrock.

In single player, cheats must be enabled for the world to use WorldEdit, though this can be changed in the configuration. On a server, only opped users can use it by default, which can also be changed.

On servers, only opped users or users with permissions supplied by a permissions plugin can use WorldEdit. On LAN, anyone can use it if cheats are enabled.

No. WorldEdit is a map editor that works with existing blocks, using commands, brushes, and schematics rather than adding new items or blocks.

The /jumpto command lets you teleport easily around the world. You can also use your compass to quickly teleport to areas by left clicking.
