WorldEdit

WorldEdit is an editing tool for the 2011 Mojang sandbox video game Minecraft, developed by software group EngineHub. It was released worldwide on 28 September 2010 as a plugin for the hMod modification.[2] It has since been ported as a Bukkit plugin and as a mod for the Fabric and Forge mod loaders. With almost 26 million downloads from Curseforge as of February 2022, it is the most popular Bukkit plugin of all time,[3] and is also one of the most popular Fabric/Forge mods available.[4][5][6] Having been released just over a month after Minecraft's multiplayer update, WorldEdit is also one of the oldest server-side plugins.[7][8] The WorldEdit project, initially started by sk89q,[2] is currently run by Me4502.[9]

WorldEdit has been featured on the Minecraft website as one of the most popular building tools.[10] WorldEdit has also been cited in United States patents[11][12][13] and scientific papers.[14][15] Many professional Minecraft builders and artists utilize WorldEdit in their projects.[10][16][17][18][19]

WorldEdit's primary feature is to assist the player in building structures, a core gameplay mechanic of Minecraft, and in creating customized terrain. WorldEdit can be used to build almost anything through a variety of tools such as brushes, block replacers, and more.[20][21]

As of September 2019, WorldEdit can be used externally to Minecraft as standalone software. This has spawned non-Minecraft projects such as WorldEdit Golf, which is a challenge to perform a task with as few commands as possible.[22]
