Scroll for WorldEdit
by dabric
Scroll for WorldEdit lets players change selections and builds with the mouse wheel, using alt to activate it and scroll to move, expand, contract, shift or stack the selection.
What it does
Scroll for WorldEdit is a Fabric mod that adds mouse-wheel control to the selection commands of the editing tool it extends. Holding alt activates the mode, and scrolling then moves, expands, contracts, shifts or stacks the current selection. Scrolling works vertically and horizontally, and a second key, z, switches to a set of directions for the remaining axes.
The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and opens the in-game configuration screen. Players can change the scroll threshold, the directions the selection moves in, the command bound to the wheel, and whether the modifier keys are toggled or must be held. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
Files cover 1.19, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.21, with 1.1.4 for 1.21 as the latest Fabric build, published on 2024-07-18. The first release came out on 2022-07-15.
Key features
Selection movement
Scrolling moves the current selection along the chosen axis.
Expand and contract
The wheel grows or shrinks a selection, so the region can be adjusted without typing coordinates.
Shift and stack
Shift offsets a build and stack repeats it, both driven by the mouse wheel.
Configurable controls
The scroll threshold, movement directions, wheel command and key behavior can all be changed in the configuration screen.

Use cases

Adjusting regions
Selections can be expanded or contracted step by step while the view stays on the build.
Who it’s for: Players who use the selection and build commands of a block editing tool and want mouse-wheel control of them, in single-player or on a client.
