World Editor or Toolbox Mode Reportedly Coming Soon in Minecraft

Minecraft players may soon have a new tool at their disposal, as reports have emerged of a potential World Editor or Toolbox Mode in development for the game. This information was originally uncovered in late 2022 by eagle-eyed players, who found references to the mode in preview files for future updates on the Bedrock platform. It is believed that the World Editor will be available exclusively for PC players.

While the information has been lurking in the game’s files for some time, it was only recently that users were able to get a glimpse of what the World Editor might look like. A Twitter user (Roger Badgerman) claiming to be an industry insider shared work-in-progress footage of the tool in action.

For players who enjoy building massive structures in Minecraft, the World Editor will make the process much easier. While mods exist for other versions of the game that offer similar functionality, an official World Editor for Bedrock will allow players to build, edit, and reshape their worlds with ease.

Last year, Minecraft add-on creator SmokeyStack shared findings on Twitter that corroborate the recent leak. The code pulled from the game’s files, along with a telling image, directly references an Editor Mode for Bedrock.

There is speculation that the new editor will be available on PC only and may even become its own unique game mode. 

Minecraft is a game that has always been centered around building and creativity, with the block-style world providing ample opportunities for players to let their imaginations run wild. 

For players who are particularly skilled at building in Minecraft, they have even been able to turn their passion into a career by showcasing their impressive creations on platforms like YouTube. However, building in Minecraft can be a tiring and time-consuming process, as it requires placing each block individually.

But if we go by the speculation above that Mojang may be rolling out an update that will make building in Minecraft a lot easier for players and pro builders alike by adding a World Editor or Toolbox Mode that will allow for faster and more efficient building. This will potentially save a significant amount of time for players.

As players eagerly await the release of this potential update, many are wondering what kind of impact it will have on the Minecraft community. Some are excited about the prospect of being able to create even more elaborate and intricate builds, while others worry that the update may take away some of the charm and challenge that comes with building in Minecraft.
