<li><strong>Change the configuration:</strong> Run your server once (with WorldEdit) and then edit the config.yml file that is generated inside "plugins/WorldEdit". Use <em>/worldedit reload</em> in the console to reload the configuration.</li>
<li><strong>Setup permissions:</strong> Visit the WorldEdit wiki to <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Permissions">learn the permissions</a>. However, if you're new to WorldEdit, you may not know what permissions to give, so first add <strong>*</strong> to play with WorldEdit.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><strong>Install Single Player Commands.</strong> Be sure to delete "META-INF" to prevent black screens from occuring.</li>
<li><strong>Install WorldEdit:</strong> Copy WorldEdit.jar into your ".minecraft/bin" folder. Do not put WorldEdit.jar into minecraft.jar.</li>

<h2> Introduction</h2>
<p>WorldEdit is pretty powerful and it may take some time to fully grasp exactly what it can do, but fortunately, there's a comprehensive wiki and quick start guide to get you started. Before you get into that though, you may want to become familiar with WorldEdit's navigation aids:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>/jumpto</strong> sends you to the place that you are looking for</li>
<li><strong>/thru</strong> sends you through the wall that you are looking at</li>
<li><strong>/up #</strong> sends you upwards a certain number of blocks</li>
<li><strong>/ascend</strong> sends you up through the first block above you</li>
<li><strong>/descend</strong> sends you down through the floor</li>
</ul>
<p>However, you can also, using a <strong>compass</strong>, left click to move to the place that you are looking at, and right click to pass through the immediate wall (/jumpto and /thru, respectively).</p>
<h2>Learning WorldEdit</h2>
<p>The best three ways to getting to know WorldEdit are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Print the <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Printable_reference">reference guide</a> first and foremost. It contains a listing of all WorldEdit commands and allows you to quickly look up a command.</li>
<li>Read the <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Quick_start">quick start tutorial</a>. This guides you through the basic commands.</li>
<li>Check out <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit">the wiki</a>. The wiki is the definitive reference for all commands. It contains verbose information about commands and provides warning information.</li>
</ol>
<p>Additionally, some users have made some <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit#Video_tutorials">introductory videos</a>.</p>
<p>Remember that <strong>WorldEdit has a history</strong>. Use <strong>//undo</strong> to undo and <strong>//redo</strong> to redo. If you have limited RAM, be sure to clear your history with <strong>/clearhistory</strong> after large operations.</p>
<pclass="warning"><strong>Warning:</strong> The history in the Bukkit version of WorldEdit is reliable, but in Single Player Commands, not all commands can be undone!</p>
<h2>Other Features</h2>
<p>WorldEdit is largely an in-game map editor where you define areas and modify them, but it has a lot of extra tools that many are unfamiliar with. Once you've mastered the core features, be sure to check out these extras:</p>
<h3>Snapshots</h3>
<p>Snapshots allow you to restore a cuboid from a backup (even from a .zip). The obvious way to use this is to select a damaged region and use <strong>//restore</strong> to load the region from a backup. However, sometimes you may want to rollback your world to an older backup but hook WorldEdit's snapshots to the corrupt world (in the opposite way), allowing you to <em>reverse restore</em>. See <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Snapshots">snapshots</a>.</p>
<h3>Scripting</h3>
<p>Hate Java? Love JavaScript? WorldEdit has a scripting interface backed by JavaScript, allowing you to write scripts to generate terrain or to fix problems. WorldEdit comes bundled with a few scripts that can be found in the "craftscripts/" folder in the download. Check out the <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Scripting">scripting information page</a>.</p>
<p>Some example scripts include:</p>
<ul>
<li>draw.js turns images into cloth blocks</li>
<li>maze.js generates mazes</li>
<li>roof.js creates pyramids to cover a region</li>
</ul>
<h3>Tools</h3>
<p>WorldEdit has "tools" that you can "bind" to an item that you are holding. You can, for example, bind the <strong>/repl wood</strong> tool so that every time you right click with, say for example, a wooden sword, the block you right click becomes wood. You can also use the <strong>/tree</strong> tool to generate trees instantly. See the <ahref="http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Tools">tools page</a>.</p>
<p>WorldEdit is entirely open source! You can download all of the plugin code to learn from it, modify it for your own self, or even contribute back!</p>
