[Request] World Edit Brushes

About a few weeks ago now, I food a bug with brushes. This bug allowed them to be used in any world, regardless of whether or not the player had permissions. This bug resulted in brushes being disabled.

Now, as any world edit user should know, brushes are the core component of the entire world edit plugin. Brushes allow you to paint huge amounts of blocks into the terrain, replace and change existing blocks, smooth mountains and generally do terraforming.

This is just a formal request for the brush issue do be resolved. Without brushes, many projects have been put on hold.

All I know about the issue that might help, is that when a player logs out, the brush history is deleted. Could this same script be executed when a player changes world?

Thank you for your time!

EDIT: if brushes are back by sunday next week, I PROMISE I will do a live streamed, speedbuild on minerealm creative!!!!

I, and all members of Creativity were very disappointed when World Edit brushes were disabled. Basically, since brushes were disabled, all work on Creativity has come to a halt. It's is just down right impossible to complete any mass terra forming that is so desperately needed on 'Super Flat' worlds without World Edit brushes.

I strongly suggest that a way around the Brushes bug is found and implemented as soon as possible, or MineRealm Creative just won't be the same. I for one will very rarely play on MineRealm Creative, and I am sure many others will be the same unless World Edit brushes come back.

Thanks, iBiS.

These should totally be implemented, I use world edit on single player all the time, and brushes are one of the only things that make it useful. If the admins are worried about lag, they can just set the max brush radius to 8 or something.

Brushes were already implemented in MineRealm Creative when World Edit was implemented, it was the fact that there was a bug where you could use a brush in any creative world, no matter if you had rights to it or not.

Yeah, its not lag that's causing problems.

If we cant have natural worlds, at least do something about brushes so we can try and make our own.

Even though I can't use WE in creative, I support this, WE is nothing without the brushes

I'd say we need either brushes or natural worlds in creative. I'm in favor of having brushes back as natural worlds are probably not going to happen.

I support this completely.

Brushes add an entirely new, more natural element to creative, which I believe many players wish to achieve, as builds are not only assessed on quality, but also on the way that they fit into the natural environment, and I believe that this is one of the main challenges of building more realistic designs and builds.

First I will say that brushes are actually not completely neccesary for the fact that I have been working on my giant tree using only the sphere and cylinder commands and although it takes longer I still get the same results.

Now as far as putting brushes into it I agree it would be a heck of a lot easier with the brushes and would really appreciate getting to use them again.

~My two cents~

Trust me, its impossible to do terraforming without brushes, at least not on the scale we want. Were talking about creating entire WORLDS here, not trees!

Mass terraforming is very difficult without the tools that are designed for it, and nigh impossible to look good without the smooth brush... which is coincidentally one of the most dangerous brushes xD
