WorldEditSelectionVisualizer

1.9 Compatibility

The latest download is not compatible with Minecraft/Bukkit/Spigot version 1.9 yet and I'm not sure if I want to continue development of the plugin. ZathrusWriter made an unofficial update of the plugin that seems to work fine (although I haven't tested it). You can find the download for that here.

Overview

WorldEditSelectionVisualizer (WESV) is essentially the famous WorldEditCUI mod in the form of a bukkit plugin, which means that players don't need to install anything on their client.

Features

Spawns particles around WorldEdit selections so players can see them
No client mod required
Supports cuboid, sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder and polygon selections
Use /wesv to toggle the visualizer
Only show the selection when holding the selection item
Configurable particle effect
Force large particle distances to see your selection from far away (requires ProtocolLib)
Prevent players from spawning too many particles when selecting huge regions
Highly customizable for the performance of your server

Documentation

Detailed documentation about the available permissions and configuration options is available on the documentation page.

ProtocolLib

This plugin has optional support for ProtocolLib (Jenkins build #74+). If you want to see particles from distances > 16, you need to have it installed and enabled in the configuration (see Documentation).

Credits and Metrics

This plugin uses darkblade12's ParticleEffect library to spawn the particles. It also anonymously collects statistics via MCStats Plugin Metrics. You can read about the data that is being collected here. You can see the statistics here.
