First Person Editing occurs when a player can edit the world geometry from a first-person point of view. A game which features First Person Editing as a core mechanic could be termed a First Person Editor, or FPE.

The world editing properties should extend to the entire game environment, and optionally to avatars. A good test to identify an FPE is if players can write in-game by carving or building.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in first-person shooters, racing games, and visual novels, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs, 3D platformers, and adventure games.
