LightWorldEdit
A tiny, synchronous WorldEdit alternative for 1.21–1.21.11.
With just 17 core commands, LightWorldEdit strips away the complexity of WorldEdit's 150+ sub-commands.
✨ Key Features
- Lightweight Core: 17 commands vs. WorldEdit's 150+.
- Synchronous Editing: Runs on the main thread for predictable, crash-safe operations.
- Native Syntax: Uses the familiar
//prefix (e.g.,//set,//wand). - Block States: Full support for syntax like
//set oak_stairs[facing=north]. - Safety Net: Configurable block limits to prevent main-thread lag spikes.
