WorldEdit Integration

Last updated Jul 6, 2026

WorldEdit Integration

SoapsArena can save and restore arena regions with WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit (FAWE).


When you need it

  • Destructible arenas where players can break blocks during matches
  • Automatic reset after each game so the map returns to its original state

Non-destructible arenas do not require WorldEdit.


Config

worldedit:
  enabled: true
  auto-save: true
  auto-restore: true
Key Description
enabled Master toggle (only works if WE or FAWE is installed)
auto-save Save schematic before the match starts
auto-restore Paste schematic back when the match ends

Schematics are stored in plugins/SoapsArena/schematics/<room>.schem.


Setup

  1. Install WorldEdit or FAWE
  2. Build your arena in the world
  3. Mark bounds with the wand editor
  4. Enable destructible on the room in wand settings
  5. Run a test match; the plugin should save before start and restore after end

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
"WorldEdit not installed" Add WE or FAWE to the server
Arena does not reset Check auto-restore: true and server logs on game end
Save fails Confirm arena bounds are valid and the region fits WE limits
Lag on restore Prefer FAWE on larger arenas

Set worldedit.enabled: false to disable integration without removing WE from the server.
