Welcome to the magical world of Minecraft where creativity knows no bounds! Today, we will explore and learn about WorldEdit, a powerful Minecraft mod that allows you to manipulate your game world seamlessly. Whether you are in creative mode building a towering fortress or trying to fix griefing mistakes in survival, WorldEdit has tools like selections, schematics, copy-paste, brushes, and scripting to enhance your gameplay!

Why Use WorldEdit?

• Helps you create and edit maps efficiently.
• Fixes mistakes made during gameplay quickly.
• Compatible with various popular Minecraft servers and mods.
• Allows for custom features and tools through modifications.

Download WorldEdit

If you’re looking to start your journey with WorldEdit, you can simply download its mod or plugin from Modrinth. For those who wish to dive deeper, below are instructions to edit the code directly:

Edit the Code

Want to enhance WorldEdit further? Here’s how:

1. Download WorldEdit’s source code. We recommend using Git, but you can also download a .zip file if you’re not familiar with Git.
2. Install any version of Java greater than or equal to 21. You need Java installed for Gradle to launch. Though Gradle can download JDK 21 for you, it’s best to have it set up on your device.
3. Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you saved the WorldEdit code.
4. Run the appropriate command based on your operating system:
   • Mac OS X / Linux: .gradlew :worldedit-fabric:runClient
   • Windows – Command Prompt: gradlew :worldedit-fabric:runClient
   • Windows – PowerShell: .gradlew :worldedit-fabric:runClient

And just like that, your Minecraft game should open, allowing you to create single-player worlds using WorldEdit! Remember, for any code changes to take effect, you need to restart the game.

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of WorldEdit like a magic wand in a wizard’s hand. When you point your wand (or in our case, use a coding command), it can conjure entire landscapes, reshape mountains, and even undo mistakes like casting a reversal spell. However, if the wand’s spell is incorrectly uttered (think of syntax errors), the magic won’t work, showing you that something needs fixing before you can restore your world back to its enchanted state!

Using a Java IDE

If you’re looking to fine-tune WorldEdit in a Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE), here’s what you need to do:

1. Download and install IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.
2. Open the folder containing WorldEdit’s code in the IDE to create a new project.
3. To run the game as well, follow these instructions:
   1. Go to Run – Edit Configurations.
   2. Add a Gradle task for the project, specifying worldedit-fabric.
   3. Type runClient as the task and click OK.
   4. Finally, start debugging the new task.

Speeding up the Edit-Test-Edit-Test Cycle

To save time while testing your changes, consider running the server instead of the client. By using runServer instead of runClient, you can reconnect to the server, eliminating the need to restart the whole game.

Submitting Your Changes

Being an open-source project requests your contributions to also remain open source. To submit changes, it’s best to fork the project on GitHub, push your changes there, and create a pull request on the WorldEdit repository. Make sure to review CONTRIBUTING.md for detailed guidelines.

Troubleshooting

If you’re facing issues when executing your commands or if there’s a persistent error, these steps may help:

• Double-check your Java installation version.
• Ensure you’re running the right command according to your operating system.
• Review your Java code for syntax errors, as these are common reasons for commands to fail.
• Revisit the paths used when navigating to the directory; a simple typo can lead to errors.
