Manu_Alvarez · May 9, 2020, 1:45pm

how can i put world edit for sponge version 7.2?

MoseMister · May 9, 2020, 3:18pm

Same way you put any plugin on Sponge version 7.2.

Download the compatible version (7.2 can run any plugin from 7.0.0 - 7.2.0 (so WorldEdit 6.1.10 (latest version) is compatible) and pop it in your mods folder and then run the server
