LogBlock
Works 100% with 1.7 / 1.8
The best block logging and rollback solution for the savvy server administrator.
LogBlock is the best block logging plugin for Bukkit server. Not only is it awesomely powerful, it’s blazing fast! Everything is logged into a MySQL database, allowing developers to hook in and produce things such as player stats and even administrative panels. Every loggable action can be logged with LogBlock: WorldEdit, leave decay, fire, sign changes, explosions, chest changes, player and animal deaths, chat, commands and more!
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk.
LogBlock will very rarely break between Minecraft / Bukkit updates, however if you find it does, please be sure to try a development build from above, as we generally test new releases there until deemed stable.
What is LogBlock?
LogBlock is a tool which allows you to keep track of almost everything on your server, while also giving you the ability to rollback (revert) or redo changes made by users and natural occurrences such as liquid flow or leaf decay. Additionally, LogBlock is able to log and rollback chest contents, sign text and more! LogBlock was originally created by bootswithdefer for HMod, ported to Bukkit by DiddiZ and is now actively maintained by md_5, ammar2 and the community of developers on Bukkit. We accept pull requests on GitHub frequently which means that community developers can add features they wish to see quicker than LogBlock developers are able to from tickets. All database actions are run not only in their own threads, but are queued into a consumer to minimize lag on the main thread. This is great for larger servers! All optional features (not dependencies below) are enabled and disabled from within the config file allowing complete control over what is logged thus ensuring database size is kept to a minimum.
Notices
Most virtual chest plugins are not compatible with LogBlock. Because they do not set the player who is opening the “chest”, LogBlock can’t do what it’s meant to be able to do, thus, making errors in your console. Please report these issues to the fake-chest plugin developer, NOT LogBlock developers.
Issues are read more frequently on the GitHub Issues page as compared to the comments below. When updating to LB1.57, if you already have a large database and have changed your columns to MEDIUMINT, INT or LARGEINT, you do not need the updater to fix this for you automatically. To stop this behaviour, simply change “version” in the configuration to ‘1.57’.
If you are experiencing an error such as this please read the FAQ for answers.
If you're receiving errors regarding players from the consumer such as "[Consumer] Failed to add player <playername>" then change all `playerid` columns to MEDIUMINT or INT in each table that contains them. This may take a long time if you have a lot of rows.
Optional Dependencies
- WorldEdit (Recommended)
- Permissions plugin
- LogBlock Questioner

Posted Mar 31, 2012@deleted_7554077 I have WorldEdit and it still does not work. Could the error be caused the a conflicting plugin? That seems to be the only thing that could cause it to not work.

Logblock doesn't "require" spout. If spout is available, it uses that for chestaccess events:
If however it doesn't have spout available, it uses it's built in api:
You're right, Questioner doesn't use spout, at one point in time I was pretty sure it did. We use it for other things however, so I didn't notice the change :)
@Mzaq
As for it "not working", I just tested it on the latest 1.2.4 build.. with no other plugins other than the latest logblock. Works perfectly fine. An error log would be more helpful.

Posted Mar 28, 2012@nate302 It doesn't need Spout. I haven't used Spout for a long time and LogBlock works great and also does Questioner. Also chest access works tho it says it needs Spout, but it works without it.

The LogBlockQuestioner.jar from the link below did not work when I tested it, although the LogBlock.jar worked fine. Just wondering what exactly does the LogBlockQuestioner even do, and how to I get it to work? Does it require Spout or something?

This is caused by a slow MySQL connection i believe."
This can also be caused by a java plugin using old methods of mysql connectors, however in log block's case, more than likely not the problem. If you are running the server on a windows machine, look into modifying the registry for the maximum socket connections as well as lowering the timeout from 2 minutest to about 30 seconds.

What do you mean by "there isn't one" and by "link in the comments, way back"? Is that a contradiction? And if there is one rather than saying link in the comments could you please post it?
