    World Edit is a great tool that makes large buildings much quicker, and faster. It does take some time to learn, but it will be worth it. This detailed thread is post into 4 sections. How to Get World Edit, Basic Commands, Advanced Commands, and More Information.

    How to Get World Edit

    World Edit is used on Minetime's creative server. To get access to world edit, all you have to do is type in your command box "/vote" and 2 links will pop up. After you have went on one of those links, completed the captcha, and typed in your name, you will have access to world edit.
    World edit mainly revolves around typing in commands, and using a "wand". The wand is simply a wooden axe. You can either get a wooden axe from your inventory, or you can do //wand. If //wand doesn't work for you, then simply try relogging in to Minetime. If it still doesn't work after that, something must have went wrong in the voting process.

    Basic Commands
    How to Make a Wall​
    Making a wall in world edit is very simple. All you have to do is with any block, use that block to mark the lower left corner and the upper right corner. Now this is the part where you will use your wand (wooden axe). Make sure your wand is in your hand as you left click on the first block, then you right click on the other. When you left click, you should see something in the chat that says "First position set to (location/cords)" in pink. When you right click, the same thing will happen except it will say "Second position". After your have selected the first and second position, now you will type a command. To do this type in //set (block). For the block you want, you may type in the ID or the name of the block. For example, to make a wall of glowstone you would type in "//set glowstone" or "//set 89". Press enter and you will have a wall :)
    How to Make a Floor/Ceiling​
    Making a floor is almost identical to the instructions for making a wall. Instead, you will be selecting the upper left and lower right block on the floor/ceiling. Other than that, follow the same instructions/commands to make a wall.
    How to Remove or Undo Your Work
    To undo the previous command that you did, just simply type in //undo. To remove any work, select the positions of it, then type in //set 0. (0 is the ID for air).
    How to Make a Shape​
    With world edit you can make cylinders, spheres, and pyramids but Minetime lets you make cylinders and pyramids. For the pyramid, type in //pyramid (block) (size). For the cylinder, you will need to put 2 sizes. //cyl (block) (radius) (height). To make an oval-style cylinder, you can put 2 radius separated with a comma.
    Variants of a Block​
    Many blocks have variants like wool, clay, wood, etc. We'll use wool as an example. Regular (white) wool has an ID of 35. The other colors' ID starts out as 35 then have a number after that. Orange wool's ID would be 35:1, magenta is 35:2, and so on. So when you are setting blocks, start out with the ID of the regular/default block, then add a colon with the number of the variant. Look in More Information to see an easy way to find these IDs.

    Advanced Commands
    How to Make a Room​
    There are two different commands to make a whole room. The first is //walls (block). Select the region (tallest block and lowest block diagonal from the tallest one) and type in the command. This will give you four walls connecting to make a room. //faces is different though. It will give you four walls, but it will also add 2 faces/sides which are the ceiling and the floor.
    How to Set More Than One Block​
    You can set more than more block with whatever command your doing. All you have to do is separate the additional blocks with a comma (make sure you don't use spaces). For example "//walls diamond,169,stone"
    Selecting a Region Without a Wand​
    There are two ways to select a region without a wand. The first way is by using //pos1 and //pos2. Stand on the first block (or in the air) and type in //pos1. The first position will be set to where you are standing. Then do //pos2. After that you can type in your command. You can also use //hpos1 and //hpos2. The difference is that the position will be set to the block you are looking at rather than the block you are standing on.

    More Information/Extra Stuff
    • //ascend makes you go to the floor above you
    • //descend makes you go to the floor below you
    • //thru sends you through a wall
    • //calc answers a math problem.
    • //unstuck gets you unstuck if you are trapped in blocks
    • //help shows you all commands you can do.
    • There are tons of websites that show you the IDs for blocks but there is a command so that when you hover over an item in your inventory it shows you the ID which is pressing F3 and H
    • There are many other commands but I just put the ones that Minetime allows you to do.

    I will be answering questions about world edit in comments :)

    @FlossieAngel After you vote for world edit, just stand under a ceiling and type in the command. And /ascend with 1 or 2 slashes work.
