Masks

To learn about basic masks that WorldEdit offers please click here.

A mask is a restriction on an edit for when blocks are placed e.g. only replace blocks below stone. Global masks apply to all edits, brush masks apply to just the current brush.

Syntax

Blocks

Use the name or id of a block (e.g. stone).

Multiple masks

Use ,(OR) or &(AND) to separate multiple masks. e.g. grass_block,$desert

Arguments

Mask arguments should be inside square brackets e.g. #offset[0][5][3]

Setting a mask

Perm: worldedit.global-mask Desc: This command applies a mask(s) to all your WorldEdit actions globally. This command masks based on the destination blocks (i.e. the blocks in the world).

Perm: worldedit.global-mask Desc: The global source mask applies to all edits you do and masks based on the source blocks (e.g. the blocks in your clipboard)

Perm: worldedit.brush.options.mask Desc: Set the brush destination mask

Perm: worldedit.brush.options.mask Desc: Set the brush source mask
