Description

What feature do you want to see added?

Please re-add the Status system. I'm often doing 14 billion block world edits which can take 12 to 24 hours on average on my potato of a server. I'd like to be able to do a //status and see how many blocks have been read, or at least how many have been modified. This value has to be in memory to first know where it's at in it's editing so it doesn't go over a block a 2nd time. I'd just like to have the ability to see where my edit is at with a //status command to show how many it's read, and/or at least how many blocks have been edited. This has to be known because it tells us this at the end.

Even if it has to pause the edit to tell me the status (And then resume automatically after results are displayed), a few seconds to pause an edit to tell me the status of a 24 hour edit would be well worth it to me and other map editors.

Are there any alternatives?

ASync world edit does have a progress bar but it's a very annoying one. I don't like the plugin either, I'd prefer FAWE as it's much faster, and I do not want an always present progress bar, only wish to have an update when requested via command like with a //status command to show me one time, not constantly taking up the whole chat screen like async does.
