[Mod: WorldEditCUI] Making selections for Residence easier | Off Topic | Forum

Emulated tracked down a very handy mod that will let us see selections, which make managing your residences easier.  Here's how I got it to work.

Quick note: I did this with the following versions of software, so you may need newer versions if you try this a long time from when I post:
Minecraft: 1.6.4
Forge: 9.11.1.916
LiteLoader: 1.6.4-01
WorldEditCUI for Forge: 1.6.4.3 

1.  I already had Forge up and running.

2.  I closed completely out of Minecraft (the launcher and the game.)

3.  I downloaded and installed LiteLoader, and had it chain to Forge (this step may not be necessary if you have Forge.)

4.  I launched Minecraft to make sure that the LiteLoader profile was present in the dropdown, and closed back out.

5.  I downloaded WorldEditCUI for Forge and dropped the entire file (NOT unzipped) into the mods folder inside the .minecraft folder (which is there because Forge puts it there.)

5.  I launched Minecraft, made sure I was using the LiteLoader profile, logged into Veterancraft, and typed the following to activate the ability:
/we cui

6.  I made a quick start and end selection with a wooden sword, and it appeared outlined mostly in red (see the 'selected' attachment.)

7.  I then stared straight up and typed /res select expand 2, and saw my selection expand 2 blocks higher (see the 'select up' attachment.)

Notes:

• If you want to see the whole area of one of your residences, type:
  /res select residence [residence name] [area name]
   
• You can get your whole residence using the area name "main" (no capitalization, no quotemarks)
   
• Your residence name is case sensitive.  MyHome isn't the same as myhome.
   
• when you're done selecting and want to clear away the outline, type:
  //sel
