WorldEdit Selection Visualizer
WorldEditSelectionVisualizer
1.9 Compatibility
The latest download is not compatible with Minecraft/Bukkit/Spigot version 1.9 yet and I'm not sure if I want to continue development of the plugin. ZathrusWriter made an unofficial update of the plugin that seems to work fine (although I haven't tested it). You can find the download for that here.
Overview
WorldEditSelectionVisualizer (WESV) is essentially the famous WorldEditCUI mod in the form of a bukkit plugin, which means that players don't need to install anything on their client.
Features
- Spawns particles around WorldEdit selections so players can see them
- No client mod required
- Supports cuboid, sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder and polygon selections
- Use /wesv to toggle the visualizer
- Only show the selection when holding the selection item
- Configurable particle effect
- Force large particle distances to see your selection from far away (requires ProtocolLib)
- Prevent players from spawning too many particles when selecting huge regions
- Highly customizable for the performance of your server
Documentation
Detailed documentation about the available permissions and configuration options is available on the documentation page.
ProtocolLib
This plugin has optional support for ProtocolLib (Jenkins build #74+). If you want to see particles from distances > 16, you need to have it installed and enabled in the configuration (see Documentation).
Screenshots

Credits and Metrics
This plugin uses darkblade12's ParticleEffect library to spawn the particles. It also anonymously collects statistics via MCStats Plugin Metrics. You can read about the data that is being collected here. You can see the statistics here.

Server also refused to shut down gracefully so long as this mod is installed.

Do you mean like the lifespan of the particles? If so, no, but you can change the updateParticlesInterval to a lower number, so they get spawned more often.

Posted Mar 3, 2015It's possible to add "force" parameter in particle command ? Because the view of particle is short. Do you understand ?

Posted Feb 27, 2015Oops, just found another bug.
If I quit the server with a selection displayed, I got this message :
No problem with no selection and with a selection not displayed.

Posted Feb 24, 2015Hi! Sometimes when someone plays on the server, even me, I got an error who spam about eveny one or two seconds. When I'm alone, I can stop the error by making a worldedit selection, but for others players who have not the permissions, the error never stops until they disconnect.
Here it is :
Thanks.

Sorry about that, I messed up the build. v1.3.2 should be compatible with Java 7 again.

Hi. I had the same error, you have to use Java 8.

Posted Feb 18, 2015I finally updated the plugin, sorry for the long delay. As far as I can tell, it should work with MC 1.8 and WorldEdit 6.0 now.
