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.

The commands

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.
