Avomance – Minecraft WorldEdit Guide | Minecraft Novice to Minecraft Pro | Ep01

I’m going to show you some tricks that could help you build like a Minecraft pro this is Minecraft episode one of the world edit guide this series is designed to take a complete Minecraft world edit novice through to the point where they can competently use world edit as a tool

For their Minecraft Builds I’m going to break it down into bite-sized manageable chunks so each episode Builds on the last and that allows you to skip to the episode that you don’t know rather than having to sit through one long video of stuff that you already do know hopefully

That makes sense let’s crack on with it the first thing you have to do is install the world edit mod for your version of the game I already did a full tutorial on this so I’ve linked that in the description below so this episode can focus on how we actually use it but

To cut a long story short you need to download and install the fabric mod loader for your game version and the fabric API download the fabric world edit mod for the same game version for example I’m using 1.19.3 and put the mod in your Minecraft mods folder before

Starting the game and I’ll put those links down in the description below but remember you need to change change it if you’re using a different version that’s enough of the techie jargon let’s get on with it today we are talking about selecting and setting including setting

With more than one block now there’s a few ways in which you can select an area I’m going to go through them all now so I want to select the entirety of this weird modern sculpture looking thing I know don’t judge me this wasn’t an art lesson now this shape is actually quite

Cuboid so it is dead easy the first thing I want to do is type slash slash one that’s going to give me a wooden ax you could just get your wooden Ax from your inventory if you like I am going to left click on this bottom left hand

Corner you can see it has selected that block there I’m going to come up and I’m going to select this furthermost corner at the top that gives me the entirety of the shape now I do need to let you know for the purpose of the tutorials I’m

Using world edit cui plugin which allows me to see the areas of the bounding box that I’ve selected with just standard world edit you won’t get that red grid you’ll just need to think of what your area is in your mind or you can download

The cui as well I’ll put the link for that in the description description and if I want to deselect it that’s also dead easy just type slash SEL and that deselects it completely but let’s say your shape was a little bit wonky and you didn’t have an exact corner with a

Block well that doesn’t matter you can still do the same thing select one of the corners that you’ve got if it’s the outermost corner and then come to approximately where the furthest left and right is so kind of on the outside of that and that and then type slash up

And I’m going to maybe slash up 14. that’s going to do me straight up in the air to a block that is outside of the shape in both directions and above it I can then select the second position and that has the entirety of that shape selected but what I think was really

Funky and it’s not got any Corners whatsoever well that’s not a problem either you don’t even need your ax let’s get rid of it stand in the bottom front corner of your shape making sure you are outside one side and also this side so

That is a bow here by the look of it I’m going to type slash slash pause one that’s set in the first position I can then come up to approximately where the opposite corner is going to be round about here slash slash pause two there

We go ah but I’ve got a problem I’ve not done it precisely right can you see I’ve got a little bit of a wonky bit sticking out I’ve not selected the whole thing don’t worry if you’ve done a whoopsie you can adjust it and you can reset

Pause one and pause two as often as you want maybe I’ve got it in the wrong place there you go that changes the Box oh no it’s still in the wrong place I want to do that instead there we go pause one I can change that to maybe it

Wants to be down here and you can change your selection as much as you want you can expand your selections so I need to expand it out by two blocks in this direction so I’m going to face that direction I’m going to type slash expand and then two that

Has expanded the selection by two blocks you can see I’m completely inside it however this bit here that’s too big I don’t even know what’s going on there so we want to contract it slash contract one and that is going to make that one less now is an exact shape on that side

Now if it doesn’t matter that you’ve got a little bit of excess around your shape that’s not a problem but if you need to be precise that expand and contract command is really useful and what is quite useful is you don’t have to be facing in the direction of contraction

Or expansion you can just type it slash contract three down and the roof has come down three blocks now obviously we’ve selected a cuboid here there are ways to select different shapes whether they’re three-dimensional shapes really weird shapes but I’m going to do that in a later video because it’s a bit more

Complicated but there are a number of things that you can do with your selection now I’m going to be dealing with cutting copying and pasting in the next video so if that’s what you’re after doing maybe go and have a watch of that for now we’re going to talk about

Setting which is filling your selection area with blocks of your choice a good example of this is if you want to delete something in one go like this utter monstrosity of a wooden statue to do that with your shape selected type slash slash set and then air that will remove

It completely then if I do SEL you can see the thing has completely gone now let’s say I wanted to make a floor I’m just going to select a bit over here I’m going to select a bit up here as well that’s about right look that’s a square

Ish sort of and I want to turn that into stone all I want to do is go slash slash set and then Stone you can see it starts to auto fill click on the one that you want and then press enter and that turns that into stone if I get rid of the

Selection so you can see it better that’s an entirety of a stone floor and you can make that any block you want including liquids like water and lava exactly the same process slash slash set and then water click water and that has turned that into water if I want to

Change that into lava it’s already selected and I have to select it again slash slash set lava click the lava and bang that turns that into a lava Port but do be careful because because the lava is real lava now let’s say you made a mistake you didn’t want it as lava you

Want to undo it slash slash undo we’ll put it back to what it was before you did that command but actually I’ve changed my mind I want to put it back again slash slash redo will put it back to what it was before I undid it and you

Can stack those undo’s slash slash undo slash slash undo slash undo slash slash undo I’ve got my stupid statue back again now let’s say I want to delete this stupid statue but I can’t delete this legally protected Rocky outcrop if I do I could end up getting taken away

And put in jail probably that is not a problem you can do it dead easy I have my shape selected now what I’m going to do is slash slash and rather than set I’m going to use the word replace and this is stripped oak wood and I’m

Looking for strips Oak in my list and if I click that and then I go what I want to replace it with and I’m going to replace it with air and there we go it’s taking out the stripped oak wood only it has not replaced any of the other blocks

So and then take out the selection I can see my legally protected rocket outcrop is safe now let’s say you’ve got another stripped Oakwood statue doesn’t have to be stripped out wood could be anything and you wanted to get rid of it but you didn’t want to delete it you wanted to

Turn those blocks into something else well that’s exactly the same process except you don’t replace it with air let’s sound really greedy I want to replace all of that stripped oak wood with emerald block so that’s what I’m going to do emerald block right there now I’ve got loads of emeralds and you

Can go further than that as well I like a bit of variation so I want half of this statue to be diamond blocks a quarter of it to be iron and a quarter of it to be Emerald blocks I just put in this command here separating out with

Commas 50 diamond block comma 25 iron block comma 25 emerald block and it just does the Maths for me it is completely random and if you want to play around with it you can do that afterwards this is actually a really good way to be able

To make something look a little bit more natural and give it some variegation I’ve got a completely plain stone wall all just here so I’m just going to select this with my tool up in the top corner and down the bottom corner you can see I’ve got the entire wall

Selected now now I can use either the set or the replace command it works both ways I’m going for 45 Stone 20 Cobblestone 20 and a site and 15 stone bricks if I hit enter there and then I get rid of my selection so you can see

It now I’ve got a wall that is randomly variegated and given loads of texture and it works really really well make sure your numbers add up to 100 otherwise it gets confused so you are now the master of selecting setting and replacing next episode is going to be

About copying cutting and pasting which goes really well with this so if you don’t want to miss that one that comes out really really soon make sure you hit the Subscribe and the notifications Bell and then it will let you know and you can come and see it straight away

Without missing it that just seems like the logical choice to me so I’ll look forward to seeing you in that one or another video you take it easy now bye
