Hi Quintum
I totally understand that it would be awesome to have creative on 1.16. However, as Quinny said, it would mean another reset after only 1 year which could upset players and make them quit, as they worked hard for their current grades. Another problem would be, also as Quinny mentioned, that worldedit is quite glitchy and unstable with newer versions. Even the current version is quite unstable and glitchy, for example, brushes get misplaced, and sometimes worldedit even stops working after using simple commands like //copy or //paste. In conclusion, even if it updates I personally think we shouldn't update straight to 1.16, but to 1.14 for example, of course only if the worldedit is really stable and the players can be sure to use it without it breaking all the time.
I totally get what you mean though, the blocks in higher versions are pretty dope and can be used to make awesome builds. (:
