//copy, //paste — duplicate the selection
//set stone — fill with stone

//brush sphere 5 stone — paint a sphere brush
//undo — revert your last edit (WorldEdit queues every change).

//copy + //schematic save name — save the selection to a file. //schematic load name — load and paste in one command. Schematic files in /plugins/WorldEdit/schematics/ are the recommended way to share builds between servers or contributors.
Permissions to gate
worldedit.* opens the surface, but you almost never want that for default users. Common gating pattern: worldedit.wand (the selection tool) at VIP+; worldedit.navigation (//ascend, //descend) at moderator+; worldedit.* only for admins.

Is WorldEdit free?
Yes for the legacy edition linked above. WorldEdit for newer Minecraft versions requires a small one-time payment on the EngineHub marketplace. The free fork continues to ship for older versions.
How do I restrict WorldEdit to a world?
Add per-world bypass nodes with /lp user Steve permission set worldedit.bypass.world.worldname true. WorldEdit respects the bypass flag in tandem with the per-region limit.
