# Installation

## Installation

### Initial Setup

1. [Download the plugin](https://modrinth.com/plugin/fastasyncworldedit)
2. Put "FastAsyncWorldEdit.jar" into your `plugins` folder
3. Reboot the server and FAWE will generate all necessary files.

{% hint style="info" %}
Version 6.0.0 and higher require Java 17 to run.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not install WorldEdit! FAWE is a **direct replacement**.
{% endhint %}

## Third Party Plugin Support

### Region Restrictions Systems

The following region restriction plugins are supported natively by us. Other third party plugins may not be listed:

* [FactionsUUID](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/1035)

{% hint style="info" %}
This can be disabled in the config or bypassed with the `/wea` command or the `fawe.bypass` permission.
{% endhint %}

### Other Plugins

We also offer an asynchronous version of VoxelSniper that follows the restriction of FAWE: [FastAsyncVoxelSniper](https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/favs)

## Logging and Rollback

Enable `use-disk` and `use-database` in the `config.yml` to use the in built FAWE logging / rollback.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is safe to give normal players access to FAWE rollback. To bypass logging use `//fast`.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://intellectualsites.gitbook.io/fastasyncworldedit/getting-started/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
