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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
