How to fill a large area with blocks using command blocks in MC 1.7.2?
I am building a massive fortress in creative and would like to be spared the monotomy of putting the floor in. I have access to commands and command blocks.
The modded server I am using is for running Minecraft version 1.7.2, and I can't update it because I'm not the server owner. Unfortunately this version does not have the /fill command at disposal, so I can't use that.
Best Answer
There's not an automatic way to do this in 1.7.2. If you're willing to be patient for 1.8 to come out, you can use the /fill command.
- Go to one corner of your castle and press F3. Write down the coordinates.
- Go to the opposite diagonal corner in your castle and write down those coordinates too.
- Open the console, and type
/fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 gold_blockwith the above coordinates. This fills your entire castle floor with gold blocks.

Answer 2
or, if you're impatient, you can use the snapshots for a quick access then return to the current version (unless you're doing this on a server)
Answer 3
LavaTaco, another way to solve this is to use bukkit on the server. Install world edit, do //wand, select the floor, and set it to whatever you want
Answer 4
I am running on 1.7.10 with a lot of mods (with Forge) so I couldn't get a temporary 1.8 with this.
I ended up with this mod, [WorldEdit], which provides a lot of commands for easy world building. To fill a cubic area, I did the following:
- Get a "wand" with
//wandcommand (yes, some WE commands begin with two slashes, not one) - Left-click and right-click two blocks in the to corners. This creates a selection of the cubic area marked by those two blocks
- If either of them is air, use
/setblockto turn it into a solid block first (it's a MC builtin command)
- If either of them is air, use
//set obsidianand the area is filled with Obsidian, replacing everything.
A full reference of WE commands can be found here.

You do /fill ~1 ~100 ~1 ~25 ~25 ~25 minecraft:stone to make a giant floating block.
