WorldEdit

WorldEdit is an in-game map editor for Minecraft Java Edition, available as a mod for Fabric and NeoForge and as a plugin for Bukkit, Paper, and Spigot servers. It gives you region selections, copy-paste for structures, schematic import and export, brush tools for sculpting terrain, and a full undo history, all through commands typed in chat. WorldEdit supports Minecraft 1.17.1 and later.

What WorldEdit Lets You Do

The standard workflow starts with the wand item, a wooden axe by default. Right-clicking two corners of a region defines a cuboid selection, then commands operate on every block inside that volume. You can fill an entire mountain with stone, replace a forest's leaves, smooth a hillside, mirror a structure, or rotate a paste. Schematic files let you export builds and share them with other WorldEdit users or import community builds directly.

• //wand - bind the selection tool to a wooden axe
• //set <block> - fill the entire selection with the named block type
• //copy and //paste - duplicate structures with optional rotation and flip
• //schematic save / load - export and import .schem build files
• //brush sphere / smooth / raise / lower - sculpt terrain across a radius
• //undo and //redo - step back or forward through your edit history

How to Install WorldEdit

The installation path depends on your platform. For single-player on Fabric or NeoForge, use the mod build. For Bukkit, Paper, Spigot, or Folia servers, use the separate Bukkit build listed on the same Modrinth page.

1. 1.Download the correct build for your platform from the Modrinth project page.
2. 2.Fabric: place the .jar in the mods folder alongside Fabric Loader and Fabric API.
3. 3.NeoForge: place the .jar in the mods folder of your loader instance.
4. 4.Bukkit, Paper, or Spigot: drop the Bukkit .jar into the server plugins folder and restart.
5. 5.In-game, type //version to confirm WorldEdit is active.

Loader and Platform Compatibility

• Fabric (1.17.1 and later) - requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API
• Forge - discontinued; the last build only reaches Minecraft 1.20.4
• NeoForge (1.20.4 and later) - no additional mod dependencies
• Bukkit, Paper, Spigot (1.17.1 and later) - use the Bukkit build from the Modrinth page
• Folia - supported on recent builds; very large operations may behave differently in regionised worlds

Forge support stopped at Minecraft 1.20.4. WorldEdit's last Forge build, 7.3.0, was published in March 2024, and the project has not shipped a newer one since. Players still on 1.20.4 or earlier can use that build, but anyone on a current version needs the NeoForge build instead, since Fabric and NeoForge are the loaders WorldEdit keeps updating.
