Compiling

You can compile FastAsyncWorldEdit as long as you have some version of Java greater than or equal to 8 installed. Gradle will download JDK 8 specifically if needed, but it needs some version of Java to bootstrap from.

Note that if you have JRE 8 installed, Gradle will currently attempt to use that to compile, which will not work. It is easiest to uninstall JRE 8 and replace it with JDK 8.

You can get the JDK 8 here.

The build process uses Gradle, which you do not need to download. FastAsyncWorldEdit is a multi-module project with three active modules:

• worldedit-core contains the FastAsyncWorldEdit API
• worldedit-bukkit is the Bukkit plugin
• worldedit-cli is the command line interface

To compile...

NMS

FastAsyncWorldEdit uses NMS (net.minecraft.server) code in a variety of spots. NMS is not distributed via maven and therefore FastAsyncWorldEdit may not build without errors if you didn't install it into your local repository beforehand. You can do that by either running Spigot's BuildTools targeting the versions needed or using Paper's paperclip with java -Dpaperclip.install=true -jar paperclip.jar.

On Windows

1. Shift + right-click the folder with FastAsyncWorldEdit's files and click "Open command prompt".
2. gradlew clean build

On Linux, BSD, or Mac OS X

1. In your terminal, navigate to the folder with FastAsyncWorldEdit's files (cd /folder/of/fawe/files)
2. ./gradlew clean build

Then you will find...

You will find:

• The core FastAsyncWorldEdit API in worldedit-core/build/libs
• FastAsyncWorldEdit for Bukkit in worldedit-bukkit/build/libs
• the CLI version in worldedit-cli/build/libs

If you want to use FastAsyncWorldEdit, use the FastAsyncWorldEdit-1.16-<commitHash> version obtained in worldedit-bukkit/build/libs.

(The -# version includes FastAsyncWorldEdit + necessary libraries.)

Other commands

• gradlew idea will generate an IntelliJ IDEA module for each folder.

Possibly broken:

• gradlew eclipse will generate an Eclipse project for each folder.
