ScLoad and WorldEdit

ScLoad requires a WorldEdit plugin installed at your server. It uses API provided by WorldEdit to load schematic and build it. But it creates optimized queue process to build structures: group it by chunks, configurable delays and blocks per ticks parameters. And yes: ScLoad will not work if you don't have WorldEdit installed at your server.

Metrics and update checker

ScLoad includes two features that use your server internet connection. First one is Metrics, using to collect information about the plugin (versions of plugin, of Java.. etc.) and second is update checker (required to find newer version of ScLoad at dev.bukkit.org). If you don't like this features you can easy disable it. To disable update checker you need to set parameter "version-check" to "false" in config.yml. Obtain more information about Metrics and learn how to switch off it, you can read here.
