How do you install WorldEdit?
Installing WorldEdit, a powerful mod for Minecraft that allows for easy terrain manipulation, is a straightforward process. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Minecraft player, following these simple steps will help you get WorldEdit up and running in no time.
Firstly, ensure that you have the latest version of Minecraft installed on your computer. WorldEdit is compatible with Minecraft versions from 1.12.2 to 1.18.2. You can check your Minecraft version by opening the game and looking at the bottom left corner of the main menu.
Once you have confirmed your Minecraft version, download the appropriate version of WorldEdit from its official website. Visit the WorldEdit GitHub repository at https://github.com/TechnicalitySoftware/WorldEdit and navigate to the “Releases” tab. Choose the version of WorldEdit that matches your Minecraft version.
After downloading the WorldEdit JAR file, open the Minecraft Launcher and select the version of Minecraft you want to use with WorldEdit. Click on “Edit Profile,” then “Add New,” and give your profile a name, such as “WorldEdit.” In the “Use game directory” field, browse to the folder where your Minecraft game is installed, and select the “versions” subfolder. Find the version of Minecraft you want to use with WorldEdit and click “Open.”
Next, go back to the Minecraft Launcher and click on the “Play” button to start Minecraft with the new profile. Once Minecraft has loaded, you will need to download the WorldEdit mod loader, called “Minecraft Forge.” To do this, go to the Minecraft Forge website (https://files.minecraftforge.net/) and download the version of Forge that matches your Minecraft version.
Extract the downloaded Forge installer to a new folder on your computer. Open the folder and run the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Minecraft Forge successfully.
After installing Minecraft Forge, open the Minecraft Launcher again and select the “WorldEdit” profile you created earlier. Click “Play” to start Minecraft with the mod loader.
Now, you need to install the WorldEdit mod. In the Minecraft Launcher, click on “Edit Profile,” then “Add New.” Give your profile a name, such as “WorldEdit with Forge,” and in the “Use game directory” field, browse to the folder where your Minecraft game is installed. Find the “mods” subfolder and click “Open.”
Copy the WorldEdit JAR file you downloaded earlier into the “mods” folder. If you are using a mod manager like CurseForge, you can also install WorldEdit through it by adding it to your mod list.
With WorldEdit now installed, you can start manipulating terrain in Minecraft. To access the mod’s features, open the chat window by pressing the “T” key and type in the WorldEdit commands. For example, to select a region, you can use the “sel” command, and to fill a region with a specific block, use the “fill” command.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed WorldEdit in Minecraft. Now you can enjoy the benefits of this powerful mod and create stunning landscapes in your Minecraft world.
