**Hi! Welcome to the first part of my World Edit tutorial. I am planning to make a couple of these, to introduce you to a very useful and easy-to-use plugin that will speed up**  
**your building process.**

**This first part includes:**

- A basic introduction to W/E (What is World Edit?)
- How to write W/E commands
- How to use the wand tool

**Part I: Introduction**

**What is World Edit?**

WorldEdit (W/E For short) is a plugin that allows you to modify large amounts of blocks using commands. There are many different tools that are used for similar tasks, such as _VoxelSniper_. WorldEdit is the (in my opinion) easiest tool to use and is a great one to learn first.

**Important to Note**

- W/E Commands are ALWAYS written using **//** instead of **/** as you will notice in the coming paragraphs.
- **//Undo** will Undo your latest W/E command, It can be very useful if you mess something up while experimenting.
- **//Redo** will Undo your latest Undo

**Getting Started (//wand)**

- While using W/E, You will need multiple tools. Now I will teach you about the Wand, and a few commands that you can use it for.
- The Wand is usually a Wooden Axe, but on EpicQuestz that has been changed to a Golden Axe. You can either grab one from your inventory, or type “//wand” in chat.
- The Wand is used for selecting the area that you are going to modify with your commands. You can select 2 positions by Left & Rightclicking 2 blocks using your Wand.
- Everything in between these blocks will get modified.

**//set**

- _//set [block]_
- This is the most basic command there is, It will set the area that you have selected, to what ever block you choose.
- The most basic way of using this command would be changing the floor of your plot, Simply select 2 opposing corners on your plot and type this command.

**//replace**

- _//replace [blockA] [blockB]_
- It’s pretty self-explanatory. You choose 1 type of block (blockA) to replace with another (blockB), in the area that you have selected.

**//copy & //paste**

- _//copy_
- _//paste_
- This is a very useful command when working on bigger projects, Use //copy to copy the selected area and //paste to paste it.
- Keep in mind that the structure will be copied in relation to where your character is standing/flying. So make sure you stand on the ground, right in front of the structure as you copy it. It will make the pasting a lost easier. You will most likely have to use //undo a lot when getting used to these commands, So be prepared for a lot of messed up pastes.

**In the 2nd part of this guide, I will be teaching you the basic use of brushes, and also teach you how you can set multiple types of blocks in the same command**
