What is it?

WorldEdit is a map editor that runs inside Minecraft Java Edition. Players and server admins use it to select regions of a world, copy and paste them, save and load schematics, apply brushes, and run scripts, without editing world files by hand.

It works in single player, in creative or survival worlds, and on multiplayer servers. Server operators can use it to repair griefing and build mistakes. The project is compatible with NeoForge, Fabric, Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Sponge.

The repository holds the Java source code. Ready-to-install builds are distributed through Modrinth, and developers can run the game with WorldEdit directly from source using Gradle, with JDK 21 or later.
