WorldEdit //set or //replace crashes server with large selections – fix?
Large operations (>100,000 blocks) overload the main thread. Solution: 1) Install FAWE (Fast Async WorldEdit) – runs operations asynchronously. 2) Limit maximum selection size: worldedit.properties → maxChangeLimit=50000. 3) Use //limit <number> before large operations. With Mado Hosting: FAWE can be installed with 1-click via the mod browser.
WorldEdit server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong bukkit version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Known Issues & Server Tips
- ⚠//undo after very large operations can also crash – limit history size with //limit.
- ⚠WorldEdit + Fabric: Use the Fabric-specific version (WorldEdit for Fabric), not the Bukkit/Spigot version.
