How to Copy or Cut Buildings with WorldEdit?

  1. Once you have something in your clipboard, you can paste it to your world with //paste.
💡
The paste will be placed relative to you when you initially copied it. For example, if you were on top of your castle when you copied it, pasting it would result in the castle being pasted under you.

You can also paste without including air blocks with //paste -a to fit your building into tight spaces or just so the paste wouldn’t use as much server resources.

  1. After you’ve selected your building you can copy it with //copy (copies your building to the clipboard and doesn’t delete it from it’s original position) or cut it with //cut (removes the building from it’s original position and saves your building to the clipboard).
  1. Use the //wand command to get a wooden axe so you can start marking positions.

You can also use the //schem list command to see the schematics you’ve saved.

  1. Activate the world that you’d like to transfer your building to.
  1. After you’ve copied the building to your clipboard you’ll have to save it as a schematic just like this. The last argument after “save” will be the schematic’s name - feel free to name it however you’d like.

When you’ve saved a schematic of your building then it will be saved to your server files and you can load and paste this schematic to any other world.

  1. Copy the building that you’d like to transfer over to your other world.
