Commands

Commands are the main way to use the many features of WorldEdit. Type ;help to get a list of available commands. If you don't find a command here that's in the original, look in the differences page to see if it's planned.

Reading this documentation

Commands may come with arguments. When you see an argument surrounded in [square brackets], then that argument is optional. If it's surrounded in <angled brackets>, then you need to define it when using the command. If you find arguments that look like [-this], they are flags. Flags change how commands are executed. Each letter after the "-" is its own flag. You can define them apart (-a -b) or together (-ab). Some flags even require an argument defined after them. Finally, | means you have a choice among the list it makes and must choose one.

Permissions

Each command has their own permission requirements to be useable by a player. To give yourself or anyone else permission for various commands, just type /tag "@s, or a player name" add "permission". For example, /tag @s add worldedit.region.set would give yourself permission to use the ;set command. You can give yourself permission for multiple comands at once. Using worldedit.clipboard for instance would give you permission to use every clipboard command. If you add - to the begin of a permission, you can also blacklist commands that use those permissions. So -worldedit.clipboard would prevent you from using clipboard commands.

Note

No command will work unless you at least have explicit permission to use any worldedit command. /tag @s add worldedit would give you permission for all of them.
