Minecraft1.26.2 & 1.26.3 PlatformPaper 26.2 & 26.3 Versionnot released

24.99 € Stable Gameplay and content
Four gestures to start
/shadowedit wand, left click, right click, //set stone. Among the six shapes is the fuzzy one: it takes a whole mountain with no box around it.
Twenty-eight brushes, twelve stamps
Three slots per player, each with mask, falloff and material, and the presets are saved. Terrain gets sculpted, not raised a cube at a time.
Schematics, and who did what
It reads Sponge v2 and v3, MCEdit and structure blocks, by content and not by extension. The history is per player.
A world is a folder
A generator in commented YAML, forty biomes and three packs that are playable worlds. Structures carry a mode, not a fixed height.
Eighteen TPS, promised
One governor decides how much work fits in the tick: editor, brushes, pregeneration and population all go through it.

What it is ShadowEdit
A world editor with twenty-eight brushes and twelve stamps that sculpt terrain rather than raise it, and a world generator written in commented YAML, with an overworld, a Nether and an End already built. It stops by itself below 18 TPS.
Un server che vuole un mondo suo compra tre plugin: uno per modificare (WorldEdit), uno per generare (Iris o Terra), uno per pregenerare (Chunky).
What the free version gives you
The editor is free and whole: selection, brushes, stamps, schematics and history. The world generator - packs, biomes, structures and pregeneration - is Premium and needs a licence. Past that limit you need a licence.
Instead of
ShadowEdit covers what you do today with WorldEdit, FastAsyncWorldEdit, Iris, Chunky, Terra — in one jar, with no dependencies to install first.
How to install it
- Copy the jar into the
pluginsfolder of your Paper server. - Restart. The plugin writes its own configuration.
- For the Premium features paste the code you received:
license claim SG-XXXX-XXXX.
