# 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)
* [GriefDefender](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/68900)
* [GriefPrevention](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/1884)
* [PlotSquared](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/77506)
* [Towny](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/72694)
* [WorldGuard](https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/worldguard)

{% 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
