Building & WorldEdit

Game Maker provides you with a full creative toolset, including access to WorldEdit, to build your map exactly how you envision it.

Build Mode vs. Play Mode

When you enter a map you have permission to edit, you are in Build Mode. This mode is designed for creation and grants you:

Creative Mode (/gamemode creative)
The ability to fly.
A special hotbar with the Map Menu and other tools.
Access to WorldEdit commands.

To switch between building your map and testing it as a player would, use the Build Mode / Play Mode toggle (Wooden Shovel / Wooden Sword) in your /editmap menu.

Using WorldEdit

WorldEdit is an essential tool for large-scale building. It allows you to create and modify large areas of your map with simple commands.

Get the Wand: Type //wand to get the selection tool (a wooden axe).
Select a Region:
- Left-click a block to set Position 1.
- Right-click a block to set Position 2. This defines a cuboid region (a 3D box) that your commands will affect.
Use Commands: Once a region is selected, you can use various WorldEdit commands to modify it.

Common WorldEdit Commands

Here are some of the most useful commands available. Your access to certain commands and the maximum number of blocks you can affect (WorldEdit Limit) depends on your rank.

Command	Description	Example
`//wand`	Gives you the selection wand.	`//wand`
`//set <pattern>`	Sets all blocks in the region to a specific pattern.	`//set stone,grass_block`
`//replace <from> <to>`	Replaces specific blocks with others.	`//replace dirt stone`
`//walls <pattern>`	Builds walls around your selection (leaving the inside hollow).	`//walls glass`
`//outline <pattern>`	Builds a hollow box around your selection (walls, floor, and ceiling).	`//outline oak_planks`
`//copy`	Copies the selected region to your clipboard.	`//copy`
`//paste`	Pastes your copied clipboard at your location.	`//paste`
`//undo`	Undoes your last WorldEdit action.	`//undo`

WorldEdit Limits by Rank

To ensure server performance, there are limits on how many blocks can be changed in a single WorldEdit command.

Rank	WorldEdit Limit	Additional Commands Unlocked
Voter	5,000 blocks	Basic commands like `//set`, `//replace`, `//copy`, `//paste`.
Maker	10,000 blocks	Access to more patterns and masks.

Debug Stick

For fine-tuning block states (like the direction a stair is facing, whether a fence is connected, or if a block is waterlogged), you can use the vanilla Debug Stick.

Obtain it with the command /debugstick.
Left-click a block to cycle through its available properties (e.g., facing, waterlogged). The selected property will be displayed in chat.
Right-click a block to change the value of the selected property.
