if this is a world on a server then you COULD use Worldedit and Multiverse plugins to copy things from one world to another within the server, other than that MCEdit is a bit tricky with moving around and selecting blocks but once you get the hang of it it's fairly easy after that.
and if it helps I can sympathize, I have a server (Currently down due to moving) and before I had help setting up permissions I had a guy go on and take control of it. he told everyone he was the owner and he somehow completely corrupted one of my worlds to the point you couldn't leave the spawnpoint of that world (not the main spawn world but a secondary world). I suggest perhaps looking into doing essentials permissions on your server, there are lots of people who can help you setup and even do a basic setup of permissions for you to start with.

Which one of these tool would you suggest to precisely Select and visualize a huge square of block with coordinate, copy it then paste it exactly at the same place in the new world?
Visualization (Like a semi-transparent white) is important to be sure that I select my stuff correctly. There's thing I want to kept in the new world next to the thing that was destroyed.
Precise coordinate is also important to help with the precise placement from one world to another.
For those familiar with scripting tool like AutoCAD, what I would like to to is something like this...
"Open old World"
Select, Square, (1500, 1000, 500), (2000, 1500, 1500) // Here, I would select all block inside the square between the corner X:1500, Y:1000, Z:500 and X:2000, Y:1500, Z:1500 and I could visualize the selection to be sure that I take stuff correctly
Selection Copy // Copy the selection
"Open New damaged World"
Select, Square, (1500, 1000, 500), (2000, 1500, 1500) // Select exactly the same square
So a troll entered our server and destroyed our stuff....I guess it'll teach us to leave it open....
We added password, whilelist and backup more often. Sadly, now we're stuck with our last backup dating a month and half ago....
So, I would like to ask for your help to "merge" the actual world and the old one.
I was thinking about using a world editor like McEdit but I'm unsure if it's the best option available. What do you think?
Thanks for your help
