WorldEdit is a powerful in-game map editor for Minecraft that streamlines building and terraforming. It provides essential tools for selections, schematics, copy-and-paste operations, brushes, and scripting to manage your world efficiently.

Whether you are working in Creative mode or need temporary tools in Survival, WorldEdit is a versatile utility for server administrators and builders alike.

Installing WorldEdit

On AwakeNode

  1. Download the version of WorldEdit for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
  2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the plugins folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
  3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Download the correct version of WorldEdit from Modrinth for your loader (Bukkit, Fabric, Folia, Forge, NeoForge, Paper, or Spigot).
  2. Connect to your server via SFTP.
  3. Upload the .jar file into your server's plugins or mods folder, depending on your loader.
  4. Restart your server.

Common issues

  • Plugin not loading: Ensure you have downloaded the correct file for your specific loader (e.g., Fabric vs. Paper) and that your Minecraft version (1.17.1 through 1.21.1) matches the plugin version.
  • Command not found: Confirm the plugin is listed in the /plugins or /mods command output. If it is missing, check your server console for startup errors.
  • Permission errors: WorldEdit requires specific permissions to function. Ensure you have a permissions plugin like LuckPerms configured correctly for your staff members.

Performance

WorldEdit is highly efficient, but large-scale operations can be resource-intensive. For massive edits, use the //limit command to restrict the number of blocks changed per operation, which prevents server lag or crashes.

If you find your server struggling during complex edits, you may need to upgrade your plan to increase your available RAM. AwakeNode handles this automatically; once you upgrade, your server's Xmx values are updated without manual configuration. If you are on another host, ensure your startup command includes sufficient -Xmx memory allocation for your player count and plugin load.
