How to download and install WorldEdit for Minecraft

Debuting almost 10 years ago, WorldEdit is perhaps a Minecraft builder's most valuable asset. The tool allows huge operations to be completed within seconds. Without WorldEdit, some of the most impressive builds in Minecraft would only exist as a mere figment of imagination.

Any aspiring player looking to get serious about the art of large-scale Minecraft building will want to ensure familiarity with WorldEdit. Of course, the first step of mastering WorldEdit is learning how it can be installed.

WorldEdit is a flexible tool. Players can install it locally as a mod for client-side usage inside a single-player world. Alternatively, they can opt to install the WorldEdit plugin on a multiplayer Minecraft server.
