DecoyBlocks

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of Minecraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

DecoyBlocks ALPHA is a plugin designed to catch and appropriately deal with griefers automatically.

Originally conceived of by FlamingArmour in a request thread; this plugin allows you to specify certain blocks called "decoys" that, when broken, trigger a logging system for automatically catching and dealing with griefers.

Code was written from scratch by me, with some help from the community on file serialization.

Features!

Quote:
Persistant storage of specified decoy blocks.
Full logging of who broke which decoy, and when.
Fully configureable automatic detention and / or punishment of people who have broken decoys.
3 Punishment thresholds, completely configureable.
Punishments currently comprise of:
Kill - Instantly deals the offender 9001 damage.
Jail - Teleports the offender to the specified location. (Set via coordinates in config.)
Kick - Instantly kicks the offender from the server.
Ban - Instantly bans the offender from the server.
IPBan - Instantly bans the offender and associated IP-Address.
CraftBukkitUpToDate compatibility.
Anonymous statistic reporting to mcstats.org!

To anyone else having the error I experienced, let your config regenerate. Also, the variables in the command punishment, like {player}, aren't working, so don't try them for now. Just thought I'd point that out to anyone who updates to v0.4.

Would you mind explaining the new changes in v0.4 and how to use them please? I've downloaded the new version, but nothing seems to have changed.

All that should be coming in v0.4! :)

(Except the groups part, you will have to program it what command to execute.)

I like this plugin!

A few things that would push DecoyBlocks over the top is:

Allowing us to tell DecoyBlocks what commands we wish it to execute
Allow DecoyBlocks to execute multiple commands at once
An option to place an offender into a specified group.

Thanks!

Ah I guess I misread. I thought I saw you say something like "Left click to remove". My mistake.

You right click to remove it too. Remove and place are both right click.

I should make it so Admins don't accidentally ban themselves. :s

I suppose so, but it'd be a nice feature. Also, there seems to be a conflict with Creative mode. For example, I go to protect a building and accidentally click the wrong block. I then left click to remove it, however that bans me for griefing. This lead to a funny story about how one of my Admins had to un-ban me after I accidentally banned myself.

EDIT: I suppose one good thing came out of that though. The banning works perfectly! LOL

Uh, no. Right-clicking with a stick doesn't normally do anything anyways?

Right, thanks! So is there a command to toggle this?

Right-Click the block with a stick to add it to the decoys, click again to remove it. That simple.

So then how do you set decoys then? I can't seem to figure that out.

Because of how the config reads stuff; but that is a silly excuse. I may'swell make it read a config section (map of practically infinite values).

Thanks for testing it! :D

AutoRestore is a tad tricky to implement well, that's why it wasn't in 0.3.

@Hoot215

/db decoys - Only prints the decoys right now. Prints nothing if there are no decoys.
/db log - Try using the log block. :)
/db log all - Same as decoys.

Not sure if I should post a ticket for this, but is it just me, or do some of the commands not work at all? I use /db decoys, and I'm sure I have the permissions node decoyblocks.decoy, but nothing happens. I don't get any message at all.
Here's a list of commands that don't seem to work:

/db decoys

/db log

/db log all

All of the other commands work fine, though, however I can't really do much with this plugin with the above commands not working.

Just wondering, why make the punishment limit 3? Why not infinite? Also, I'm about to test this plugin out. I'm probably going to make a house of diamond blocks near the spawn, with a sign saying "Don't grief". And, I've set my only punishment to 1,Ban. I'll report any bugs I find.

Also, can't wait for the custom command feature! That will be incredibly useful. I hope the AuotRestore feature gets implemented sometime soon, too.

it would be cool if you could configure punishments to run a command as if from the server console, so we could /lb rollback {player} world {world} ....I would seriously love that
