To use a WorldEdit command in Minecraft, you need to prefix it with two forward slashes (//), unlike regular Minecraft commands that use only one (/).
Here's a breakdown:
- Regular Minecraft Commands: Begin with
/. Example:/summon Pig - WorldEdit Commands: Begin with
//. Example://sphere stone 20(This creates a stone sphere with a radius of 20 blocks.)

Example Scenario: Creating a Wall
Let's say you want to create a dirt wall.
- Use a WorldEdit selection tool (like the wooden axe provided with WorldEdit) to define the area where you want the wall to be. Left-click to set the first position, right-click to set the second.
- Type
//set dirtin the chat. - WorldEdit will fill the selected area with dirt blocks, creating your wall.
By remembering to use // at the beginning of your commands and familiarizing yourself with the available commands, you can effectively use WorldEdit to quickly and easily build and modify your Minecraft world.
