Use this as an editor configuration: declare any Variables/collections first and choose real locations/eligible targets for your plot. It is not pasteable source code.

Restrictions and troubleshooting

Use locations and entities in the current plot. World-changing behavior cannot edit protected code areas or escape plot bounds.

Created transient entities belong to the running program and are cleaned up when Play ends or the program stops. Creation is budgeted; permanent-decoration exceptions are documented separately.

Runtime validation: Unknown potion effect.
