Simple Edits
by 1rom11
Simple Edits, a Fabric utility, adds five wands and tools that help players build by selecting, replacing, reshaping and draining blocks in an area.
What it does
The mod adds five items for building. The Selection Wand picks a defined area so that blocks inside it can be swapped for another block type. The Block State Changer rotates stairs, switches slab types and alters other states of certain blocks. The Water Drain Wand removes water from a selected area, and the Shape Wand creates shapes from a selection using commands. A tutorial item is included as well.
Simple Edits runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.1 alone, and the latest is version 1.2.0 for 1.21.1, published on 2024-12-25. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the issue tracker and source code are public. Installing requires Minecraft 1.21.1 and the matching Fabric loader.

Use cases
Terraforming a site
A builder can select an area, drain the water in it and replace the surface blocks before starting construction.
Recoloring a build
Blocks in a finished structure can be swapped for another type inside a chosen region, without placing each one by hand.
Who it’s for: Builders and creative players on Fabric who work with large areas of blocks. Server owners who want these tools on a multiplayer world need the mod installed on the server and on each player's client.
How it compares
Name Changer is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and it does not touch building. Simple GUI changer is client-side only, runs on Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.8 and is released under the MIT License. Simple Edits differs from both by working on blocks in the world and by requiring the server to run it as well.
