Quick Start

Want to see selection lines?

To see lines showing your selection, you can:

• Feel free to check out the plug-n-play WorldEdit CUI Addon class that adds client-side outline visuals to your selection.
• This addon be be toggled on or off in-game via the new /cui [on/off] command.

Getting Around

First, let’s figure out how you can get around quickly.

1. Look at a block not too far away and type /jump
2. Stand under a tree and type /ascend
3. While on top of the tree, type /descend
4. Stand behind a tree trunk, look straight ahead, make sure there’s room on the other side, and type /thru

Making Selections

A cuboid is a 3D rectangular area. In WorldEdit, you define a selection by marking two opposite corners of the cuboid.

You can mark the two points using different methods:

1. Using a selection tool – Left-click one block and right-click another while holding a selection tool. (Use /wand to get one.)
2. Using Position Commands – Stand in a spot and type /pos 1 or /pos 2 to set selection points.

Try It! Select a 15×15×15 area and move to the next step.

Doing things with the selection

1. Set the entire thing to bedrock: /set bedrock
2. Set the entire thing to stone: /set stone
3. Set the selection to 50% sand, 50% glass: /set sand,glassstrong
4. Replace the sand with dirt: /replace sand dirt
5. Clear the area: /set 0
6. Generate an interesting shape: /g 43 data=((32+15/2/pi*atan2(x,y))%16)+1; ((9.375-sqrt(x^2+y^2))^2+z^2)<9.765625
7. Look in a cardinal direction (not diagonal) and repeat your selection: /stack 4

Let’s undo your changes!

• Undo 7 times: /undo 7

Playing with brushes

1. Turn on a stone brush of radius 5: /brush on 6 5
2. Aim at ground not near you and right click to place large stone spheres.
3. Make it so the brush only affects clicked blocks: /brush replace true
4. Instead of placing stone, let’s place wall blocks: /brush block 22,23,24,25
5. Right click more areas.
6. Disable the brush: /brush off
