How to Fix WorldEdit Errors

Fix WorldEdit Errors by increasing the block change limit or using FAWE for large operations.

Quick Fix

Increase the max-blocks-changed limit in WorldEdit config or use //limit to change it temporarily.

Error Message

WorldEdit: Maximum blocks changed limit reached / Selection too large

How to Fix

1

Use //limit <number> to increase your limit temporarily

2

Edit worldedit config to increase max-blocks-changed

3

For large operations, use FAWE (Fast Async WorldEdit)

4

Break large edits into smaller sections

Common Causes

  • Selection exceeds block change limit
  • Insufficient memory for large operations
  • FAWE async errors on Paper servers

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Run //limit -1 for unlimited (be careful)
  2. Or edit config/worldedit/worldedit.properties
  3. Set max-blocks-changed to your desired limit
  4. Restart if needed

FAQ

Is FAWE better than WorldEdit?

FAWE handles large edits better by doing them asynchronously. It prevents server lag during big operations.
