How to get a list of all blocks in your build (World Edit & Notepad++)
This is a deceptively relatively easy and automated process, in case you need it. This guide is aimed at World Edit users as there are probably other methods of doing this. You need Notepad++ or an equivalent that supports advanced “find and replace” commands (HOWEVER other programs may handle the syntax differently and this guide may not work). Now onto the guide:
NOTE FOR BEDROCK USERS: This is a Java process. Try converting your world to Java using je2be or chunker.app.
1. Select your build and do //distr
Distr shows the distribution of blocks in your build as a % and block count. It’s like an advanced //count.
2. Cycle through every //distr page
We need chat logs to register every page of the //distr to show the full distribution of blocks in the build.
3. Find the latest.log in .minecraft
This is a file in .minecraft > logs that shows the latest chat activity. Sort by modified date to find it quick.
4. Copy //distr logs into Notepad++
Scroll to the bottom of latest.log and copy out the lines showing blockcounts. It will look something like:
Block Distribution -------------\nTotal Block Count: 61705\n89.148% 55009 Air\n 1.238% 764 Cobblestone\n 1.047% 646 Terracotta\n 0.810% 500 Red Concrete\n 0.745% 460 Dark Oak Planks\n 0.687% 424 Black Wool\n 0.681% 420 Deepslate\n--------------- Page 1 of 8 >>> ---------------

Clean up using “Find & Replace”
You now have the block list, but can use a few replace commands to clean it up. In the above example:
Use CTRL+H to enter Replace menu. Click “Replace All” after inputting each “Find what:”/”Replace with:”
- Switch to “Regular expression” mode at bottom!
- To remove the varied timestamps inbetween [], replace “
\[[^\]]*\]” with nothing (empty) - Switch to “Normal” mode at bottom!
- Replace “
: (FAWE) ------------- Block Distribution -------------” with nothing (empty) - (You will probably see something like (WorldEdit) instead of (FAWE) if you use the base World Edit.)
- Switch to “Regular expression” mode at bottom!
- To add new lines properly, replace “
\\n” with “\r\n“ - To remove excess lines, replace “
-------------.*?-------------” with nothing (empty) - Switch to “Normal” mode at bottom!
- Replace “
Total Block Count: 61705” (or whatever your number is) with nothing (empty) - Manually delete the air block count if desired, and any remaining excess spaces & –.
- If you want to remove block %: Switch to “Regular expression” and replace “
.*?%” with nothing.
