WorldEdit is an advanced and easy-to-use Minecraft map editor which allows you to fully control and manipulate your Minecraft server’s world. Placing a large number of blocks manually can be tedious, which is why it is common to use WorldEdit instead.
Installing WorldEdit
The process for installing WorldEdit will depend upon whether you’re installing it on a modded server or on a server running plugins.

Using WorldEdit
Selecting a Region
One of the tasks that you will find yourself doing most often in WorldEdit is selecting a region. By making a region, you’re essentially creating an invisible area of blocks that you will be modifying.
- Navigate to one corner of the area you wish to use WorldEdit.
- While in the correct position, enter
//pos 1 - Navigate to the other corner and enter
//pos 2
Alternatively, you may use a wooden ax and click on the corners of your region using the //wand command.
Making Changes to Your Region
After defining a region, there are various commands you can use to modify the region to suit your building purposes. Some commonly used WorldEdit commands include the following:
| Command | Description |
//set <block name/id> |
Allows you to set your region to a specific block or a pattern of multiple different blocks/entities. You may read more on some of the available patterns you can use here. |
//replace <old block name/id> <new block name/id> |
Allows you to replace only the specified block types as opposed to the entire region. |
//copy & //paste |
Allows you to copy one region and paste it into another. |
//undo & //redo |
Use these commands to either undo or redo any changes that you’ve made. |
//rotate <degrees> |
Allows you to rotate structures in your region in a specific direction (e.g. 90 degrees). |
These are just a few of the commands that WorldEdit has to offer. You can find a full list of the available region operations here.
Importing and Using Schematics
Schematics allows you to save a section of your world o a file on your computer, which you can then share online.
- Create a region and use the
//copycommand - Enter
//schematic save <name of schematic>
Should you ever need your schematic in the future, it can be accessed in your server’s FTP files under /plugins/worldedit/schematic, or for modded servers, in /config/worldedit/schematics.
Alternatively, you can upload new schematics that you’ve made in other worlds into those folders as well.
