WorldEdit is a powerful in-game map editor that allows you to modify large areas of your Minecraft world quickly and efficiently. With selections, schematics, copy and paste, brushes, and much more, WorldEdit makes building and terraforming much easier. This guide will show you how to install WorldEdit on your Aternos Minecraft: Java Edition server.
Install a plugin-compatible server software
To use WorldEdit, you first need to install server software that supports plugins. Aternos offers several options:
- PaperMC (recommended): https://aternos.org/software/papermc/
- Purpur: https://aternos.org/software/purpur/
- Spigot: https://aternos.org/software/spigot/
To use WorldEdit, you first need to install server software that supports plugins. Make sure your server is stopped, then navigate to the Software section in your server panel. Select your preferred server software. PaperMC is recommended for the best performance. Choose the version that matches your Minecraft version, then click Install and wait for the installation to complete. Once finished, you'll be ready to add WorldEdit.
Install the WorldEdit plugin
To add WorldEdit to your server, follow the same process as you would for installing any other plugin. Go to the Plugins section in your Aternos server panel and search for "WorldEdit." Select the version of WorldEdit that matches your server's Minecraft version, then click the download button next to it. Wait for the installation to complete. You'll see a checkmark when it's done. You can also press the following button.
