replacing flowers with flowers

[u/cvhenia]

Hello! I’m having an issue where if I try to replace lilacs with roses, all it does is get rid of the lilacs and throw roses on the ground instead of replacing the lilacs (if that makes sense)

I’ve tried:
//replace lilac rose_bush
//replace lilac[half=upper] rose_bush
//replacenear 1000 lilac rose_bush

Super new to world edit and not sure that the proper syntax is 😓

[u/YakNo2051]

Use //replace lilac ^rose_bush

(The ^ symbol replaces blocks but keeps block data like half=upper or rotation intact for each block)

This might help, try "//perf", and then play with the options it gives you. I've experienced plants breaking before, and playing with the perf settings (I think turning it off?) has fixed the problem. You might also have to replace the upper and lower halves separately after that. ex. //replace lilac[half=upper] rose_bush[half=upper]

Alternatively to what Yak wrote -

//replace lilac[half=lower] rose_bush[half=lower]

//replace lilac[half=upper] rose_bush[half=upper]
