How to download a minecraft server world mod

Bukkit / Spigot / Paper¶

Once you’ve set up your Bukkit-based server (instructions can be found on the respective Paper/Spigot sites), download WorldEdit from the Bukkit dev site. Make sure you get the right WorldEdit download for your Minecraft version.

1. In your server folder, create a “plugins” folder if one does not yet exist. (It should be created when you first run the server).
2. Move the WorldEdit .jar file into the plugins folder.
3. Start your server.

Check your server log for errors. If you encounter errors, see the FAQ page.

Forge Single-Player¶

First, you’ll have to install Minecraft Forge. There are many third-party launchers designed to easily install modpacks. If you’re using one of those, you can add WorldEdit as a mod through the launcher interface. Otherwise, Forge will install a profile available through the official Minecraft Launcher. After installing Forge one way or the other, download WorldEdit from the CurseForge site. Make sure you get the right WorldEdit download for your Minecraft version and platform (Fabric builds are also there - make sure you grab the right one).

1. If you’ve installed Forge as a profile in the official Minecraft launcher, follow Mojang’s instructions for finding where your “.minecraft” folder is. If you’re using a third-party launcher, this might be in a different location (consult the launcher’s docs).
2. Create a “mods” folder inside the “.minecraft” folder if it doesn’t yet exist (it should be created if you’ve run Forge once already).
3. Place the WorldEdit .jar file inside the mods folder. Start Forge from your launcher. WorldEdit should show up in the mods list.

If you encounter any errors, see the FAQ page.

Fabric Single-Player or Server¶

First, you’ll have to install Fabric. They have instructions on their website depending on how you’d like to install. The MultiMC instructions are recommended for single-player.

Then, download WorldEdit from the CurseForge site. Make sure you get the right WorldEdit download for your Minecraft version and platform (Forge builds are also there - make sure you grab the right one).

On Minecraft x versions, you will also need to install the Fabric API mod. This is not required for +.

Add the WorldEdit .jar to the “loader mods” section of your MultiMC instance and check to enable it, or add the jar to your mods folder (see Forge instructions above) if you’re installing in the official Mojang launcher.

Forge Server / Sponge¶

First, you’ll have to install your server software of choice. For Forge, you can download the installer and run from a terminal or command prompt (search online for more comprehensive instructions). Sponge has documentation on setting up a server. After installing your server software, download WorldEdit from Curseforge, if using Forge or Ore, if using Sponge. If you are using SpongeForge, either version of WorldEdit will work (but don’t use both) - the Forge version may perform better in some cases.

1. Create a “mods” folder if it doesn’t exist (it will be created automatically after running the server once).
2. Add the WorldEdit .jar file to the mods folder.
3. Start the server.

Check your server log for errors. If you encounter errors, see the FAQ page.

Want to see selection lines?¶

To see lines that show what you have selected, then you need to install WorldEditCUI, a client-side mod. Note that the mod requires Fabric, so you will need to install that first.
