Good to know
- A single command handles at most 32768 blocks; split larger areas into parts.
- The destroy option drops items and strains the server over large areas.
How do I run this command?
Press T in game to open chat (or press / directly), type the command and press Enter. While typing, Tab completes the options. This command counts as a cheat: It needs cheats enabled in a singleplayer world, and operator permission on a server (operator (level 2)).
