Compiling

You can compile WorldEdit as long as you have some version of Java greater than or equal to 8 installed. Gradle will download JDK 8 specifically if needed, but it needs some version of Java to bootstrap from.

Note that if you have JRE 8 installed, Gradle will currently attempt to use that to compile, which will not work. It is easiest to uninstall JRE 8 and replace it with JDK 8.

The build process uses Gradle, which you do not need to download. WorldEdit is a multi-module project with four modules:

worldedit-core contains the WorldEdit API
worldedit-bukkit is the Bukkit plugin
worldedit-sponge is the Sponge plugin
worldedit-forge is the Forge mod
worldedit-fabric is the Fabric mod

To compile...

On Windows

Shift + right click the folder with WorldEdit's files and click "Open command prompt".
gradlew build

On Linux, BSD, or Mac OS X

In your terminal, navigate to the folder with WorldEdit's files (cd /folder/of/worldedit/files)
./gradlew build

Then you will find...

You will find:

The core WorldEdit API in worldedit-core/build/libs
WorldEdit for Bukkit in worldedit-bukkit/build/libs
WorldEdit for Sponge in worldedit-sponge/build/libs
WorldEdit for Forge in worldedit-forge/build/libs
WorldEdit for Fabric in worldedit-fabric/build/libs

If you want to use WorldEdit, use the -dist version.

(The -dist version includes WorldEdit + necessary libraries.)
