The Problem

Hi WorldEdit team,

I'm submitting this pull request as part of a university software engineering project, that will boost my University scores.

Where I analyzed the Infrastructure and Design code smells and applied refactoring improvements.

Here's a summary of what I did:

  • Identified code smells such as [e.g., long methods, duplicate code, magic numbers — fill in your specifics]
  • Refactored the affected areas to improve readability and maintainability
  • Ensured existing functionality is preserved

I've tested the changes locally and they don't break any existing behavior. I'd really appreciate your review and any feedback you might have.

Thank you for maintaining such a great open-source project!

A Solution

The proposed solution involves the following refactoring changes:

  • Extract Method: Broke down long, complex methods into smaller, single-responsibility helpers to improve readability.
  • Remove Duplicate Code: Consolidated repeated logic into shared utility methods.
  • Replace Magic Numbers: Replaced hardcoded values with named constants to improve clarity.
  • Rename for Clarity: Renamed ambiguous variables and methods to better reflect their intent.

All changes are purely structural — no business logic or external behavior has been altered. Existing tests continue to pass, and the codebase is easier to maintain as a result.
