Minecraft – rotate a WorldEdit selection horizontally

minecraft-bukkitminecraft-java-editionminecraft-worldedit

I have a selection in WorldEdit (Bukkit Plugin) that I would like to rotate horizontally (i.e. not around in circles). I can use //rotate x to specify the angle to rotate, and using //rotate 180 would produce the effect as shown below, but I'd like to get the end result, to rotate it around a different axis (probably the y or x instead of z).

Is this possible within WorldEdit?

At the moment, Rotate command only rotates around Y axis(Or as you said, Z, depending where you draw them).

However, in here: http://redmine.sk89q.com/issues/633

It is suggested to use either

//deform rotate(axis1, axis2, degrees)

Select a cube containing your blocks. (height, width, depth on //size should be the same)
//deform swap(x,y)

I suggest you don't even use world edit, Making a bukkit plugin from scratch is very easy and very fun.

Bukkit's API has very usful block-editing tools, this peice of code here will place a block of stone(b.setTypeId(1);) above every player's head whenever they move.

    public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent evt) {

    Location loc = evt.getPlayer().getLocation();

    World w = loc.getWorld();

    loc.setY(loc.getY()-1);
    Block b = w.getBlockAt(loc);
    if(!b.isEmpty())
    {
    b.setTypeId(1);
    }}

And as for the anti-crashing, just make the plugin run on a separate thread from the main server, this way if your plugin "crashes" the server won't respond any diffrently until the plugin has finished calculating and will finish at quicker speed.
