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 Jul 13, 2012I have LogBlock and it works fine, but when I try to roll back with /yes, it doesn't recognize "/yes" as a valid command. "/no" doesn't work either. I'm assuming this is an error with LogBlockQuestioner, but I cannot find it anywhere and don't know how to update it.

Jump on IRC and someone will most likely help you. If not, just keep on trying. Ensure that you upload your configuration file and any errors to a pastebin service such as http://pastie.org and give it to the users in the IRC channel when you ask for help.
Edit: Remember that most users on IRC are normally AFK, so just be patient, wait for a while and don't spam your question. :)

Posted Jul 12, 2012I've been getting a huge amount of server lag lately, and I'm fairly certain that the source is logblock. (We use large maps, and it's a multi-world server). Are there any changes I can make to the consumer settings that will help alleviate this? I've searched around quite a bit and can't seem to find anything definitive.

Thats because GroupManager is Bukkit permissions. I'll remove that message.

Posted Jul 11, 2012I seem to be getting an issue with LogBlock not recognizing GroupManager as a permissions plugin.
'[LogBlock] Permissions plugin not found. Using Bukkit Permissions.'
I am getting no errors in the console from GM, LB, or anything else.
Any ideas?

Not sure what you're asking here, but if I'm correct in guessing that you're asking about time-zones, how is LogBlock meant to know what time-zone each user is in?
@SimplyVanilla
Are you absolutely sure your times are correct on everything?

Posted Jul 11, 2012Logblock has an offset of 44 minutes. If we wish to roll back something that happened a minute ago, we need to tell it that it happened 45 minutes ago, even if it only happened 1. It is very difficult to be precise with rollbacks because of this. Any suggestions? Our server and MySQL database are hosted in the same city, so it isn't a time-zone issue.

omg jeez ...how can you totally miss the point...
its about have log check actually report the time in that format in the first place... how can that be so easily oversighted.. doesn't anyone else get annoyed it when so many servers are hosted remotely in other time zones.
