*MCEdit* is a Minecraft map editor, allowing you to create maps, edit current
ones and view entire Minecraft worlds with ease. Of all of the editors
currently in development, this is our favorite. *Functions* Open MCEdit, then
choose a saved map from Minecraft. You can then fly around it using the mouse
and keyboard, and use the interface along the bottom to edit various aspects
of the map. The Select tool allows you to select areas of blocks, then
delete, copy, cut and more. The Brush allows you to 'paint' any typ of block
into your map, and you can specify the proportions of the brush, meaning you
can add huge lumps of material if you want. There's a clone tool, fill and
replace, and a filter to use with the select option. It's also possible to
move the position of your player, and also set a new spawn point. *Usability*
MCEdit is pretty easy to use. Editing 3D spaces is always tricky, but MCEdit
does a good job of making it as accessible as possible. Everything in the
application is well explained if you have a reasonable understanding of
Minecraft itself. While purists may think using editors is cheating, MCEdit
does allow you to do some cool stuff that otherwise would have been really
difficult. One good example is making a huge TNT ball to blow enormous holes
in the landscape - it's ugly, but a pretty quick way to mine for minerals!
*Conclusions* MCEdit is, in our opinion, the most user friendly Minecraft
editor around. It's a great way to add a new layer of creativity to the
game!Download *MCEdit* in Softonic
