VanillaWorldEdit

VanillaWorldEdit
VanillaWorldEdit lets builders keep their existing muscle memory for /fill and /setblock while enjoying the speed and reliability of FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE). The plugin intercepts the vanilla commands, translates the arguments (including relative coordinates and modes such as destroy, hollow, keep, outline, and replace), and then replays them as FAWE selections and operations. This keeps your workflow vanilla-simple without sacrificing asynchronous WorldEdit performance.

Features

• Converts /fill and /setblock invocations into the closest FAWE command sequence automatically.
• Honors vanilla-style relative (~) coordinates, arithmetic in coordinate arguments, and fill/set modes.
• Uses the player's FAWE selection so that undo/redo history and region visualizations continue to work as expected.
• Breaks blocks naturally when destroy is specified and restricts replacements when keep or replace are used, matching vanilla semantics.

Requirements

• Paper/Purpur (or another Paper-compatible) server on 1.13+; developed against 1.21 builds.
• FastAsyncWorldEdit installed on the server (Bukkit & Core components).
• Java 21 runtime (matches the target specified in pom.xml).
• Players must already have permission to execute /fill and /setblock; the plugin does not add tab completion or permission nodes.

Installation

1. Download the compiled jar from the Releases page or build it yourself (see below).
2. Drop the jar into your server's plugins directory alongside FAWE.
3. Restart or reload the server to register the listener that hooks PlayerCommandPreprocessEvent.

Usage
/fill
/fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <block> [mode]

The plugin converts the two corners into a FAWE region selection and dispatches bulk operations:

Mode Performed FAWE actions
(none) /set <block>
destroy Breaks blocks naturally, then /set <block>
hollow /set air then /outline <block>
keep /replace air <block>
outline /outline <block>
replace /replace <filter> <block> (only when a target block is provided)
All coordinates may use ~, ~-5, or even expressions such as ~(2+3); the helper converts them before calculating the FAWE selection.

/setblock
/setblock <x> <y> <z> <block> [mode]

The plugin selects a single-block FAWE region before dispatching a FAWE command:

Mode Behavior
(none) /set <block>
destroy Breaks the target block naturally, then /set <block>
keep /replace air <block>
replace /replace <block>
Notes & Limitations

• No tab completion is provided; rely on the client-side vanilla helper or add your own command aliases if needed.
• Only /fill and /setblock are intercepted—other vanilla structure commands (e.g., /clone) remain untouched.
• Because FAWE executes the heavy lifting, ensure your FAWE configuration allows the commands you expect (e.g., //set, //replace).

Building from Source
mvn clean package
The shaded artifact will be placed in target/. Copy it to your server when you need a custom build.
