Configurations

Format

Copied from: http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Configuration/Bukkit

The file is written in the YAML format and you must follow these guidelines:

• Do not use tabs. You MUST use spaces or Bukkit will complain. If you use an editor like Notepad++ (recommended for Windows users), you must configure it to "replace tabs with spaces." In Notepad++, this can be changed in Settings > Preferences > Language Menu.
• Don't get rid of the indents. They are indented so some entries are in categories (like "max-blocks-changed" is in the "limits" category.
• If you want to check the format of this file before putting it into WorldEdit, paste it into http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ and see if it gives "ERROR:".
• Lines starting with # are comments and so they are ignored.

Minecraft

These are Minecraft related types.

ItemStack

This type represents an ItemStack that stores all properties of an item. Data may chance depending on the item that is being serialized (stored). Here is a list of properties that can be stored with all items. The == represents the class that serialized the Object, in other words, the code that represents a Minecraft (Bukkit) Item. The meta-type is the type of metadata that belongs to the ItemStack. UNSPECIFIC represents a normal item, whereas something like LEATHER_ARMOR represents a leather armor item that contains details about its colour.

meta-type	Special properties
BOOK	Contains title, author, pages
SKULL	Contains skull-owner
LEATHER_ARMOR	Contains color
MAP	Contains scaling
POTION	Contains amplifier, ambient, duration, custom-effects, potion-id
ENCHANTED	Contains stored-enchants
FIREWORK	Contains Fireworks, power, firework-effects, Colors, Type, Trail, Flicker, FadeColors
FIREWORK_EFFECT	Contains firework-effect
UNSPECIFIC	Contains display-name, lore, enchants, repair-cost

   item:
     ==: org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack
     type: STONE
     meta:
       ==: ItemMeta
       meta-type: UNSPECIFIC
       display-name: '§2Best stone in the whole world'
       lore:
       - '§e§lWithout this stone, mankind would not exist.'
       - '§eThis stone was discovered by professor SupaHam.'
       enchants:
         DAMAGE_ALL: 2
       repair-cost: 1

Location

This type represents a Location that consists of an x, y, z coordinate and if necessary, direction too.

String Location

This type represents a Location converted into a String. It consists of an x, y, and z coordinate. An example of a String Location would be "10,64,30" which when parsed would create a location with the x as 10, y as 64, and z as 30.

EntityType

This type represents a Minecraft Entity Type through Bukkit's enum names. These don't necessarily have to be UPPERCASE as the provided value will always be converted into uppercase letters.
