BetaEdit
by MiTask
With BetaEdit, players select a region with a wooden axe and then set, replace, fill or clear it using commands.
What it does
Selection starts with a wooden axe wand: the player marks two positions, pos1 and pos2, and the mod treats the box between them as the active region. Commands can then set an entire region to one block, replace blocks inside the selection, fill the area between two coordinates, or clear it. Recent edits can be undone and redone, so a mistake in a large area does not require rebuilding by hand.
The mod follows the spirit of classic world editing tools and keeps the feel of the Beta experience. Its set commands work on large areas at once, which suits map making, clearing terrain and large-scale changes where repetitive placement would take a long time. It supports multiplayer, and it is built on StationAPI.
BetaEdit is open source under the MIT License and is published for b1.7.3 only, with snapshot builds also available. The server must run it, while players may leave it out, so it works on the server alone. Installation needs Fabric Language Kotlin, Glass Config API and StationAPI alongside the Fabric or Babric loader.
Key features
Wooden axe selection
A wooden axe acts as a wand, and two clicks set pos1 and pos2 to define the region to edit.
Set and replace blocks
Commands fill an entire selected region with one block or replace a chosen block type inside it.
Fill between coordinates
The fill command covers the area between two given coordinates, without selecting it first.
Clear and undo
Selected regions can be cleared, and recent edits can be undone or redone if a change goes wrong.
Requirements
Dependencies declared by the latest file for each loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Map makers, builders and server owners who want bulk block changes in a Beta world, while keeping the classic look and play of that version.
How it compares
KeyF3 is a client-side only mod under the MIT License, published for b1.7.3, and it shows coordinates and debug information instead of editing blocks. HudTweaks StationAPI is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for b1.7.3, and adjusts the HUD. Craftable Chainmail (StAPI) is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs on client and server, adding recipes rather than world tools.
