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 Aug 20, 2012One way to solve the logblock tool command is to make the default permission true and then do "- -logblock.*" to those who you do not want to have it.

Posted Aug 20, 2012I have read the FAQ.. i have a xeon x3430 4 core cpu,32gb ddr3 memory (12gb for bukkit) ssd 120gb hhd, dual gigabit nics. isp 30mbit down 9mbit up. firewall zyxel zywall usg-200. windows 7 professional 64 bit bukkit 1.3.1R02 could it be this that causes the problem? Mysql runs at the same machine. we are currently only 3 players on the server. cpu strain with 3 users approx 7%. mem usage 700-1200mb (10%). 2 of the users are on a gigabit lan..one from the outside. and still i get these queue overload messages perhaps it is because someone is travelling and loading new chunks?

Please read the FAQ.
@Carnaxus
As long as you're running the latest build of CraftBukkit you are able to use the latest build of LogBlock.

Posted Aug 19, 2012Just wanted to point out that "/lb commands" gives a line that says
Look at github.com/DiddiZ/LogBlock/wiki/Commands for the full commands reference.
Just wanted to let you know so you could edit it. :D

Posted Aug 19, 2012hi i also experiences "queue overloaded" spam in the console. I was alone on the server and it spams. Now running 1.5.8. I changed time per run to 1000 and delay betweenruns to 1. but no difference. I never had this problem before from 1.5.7 and backwards

permissionDefault is if the permission is given by default. TRUE means all players have it, FALSE means players only have it if it's assigned to them.
@zSwayz
Check the FAQ.
@Bimmr
Give them the correct nodes.

try giving them logblock.* then negating all permissions you don't want them to have before that node.

I'm having the same problem - I've added the permissions "logblock.tools.tool" and "logblock.tools.toolblock" for my moderators, but they still don't have permission to spawn the tools (they also have the "logblock.spawnTools" permission). I have no problem spawning them myself.

Use /lb <Params> world "world"
Using "' "'s will allow you to do things like /lb rb player "player" world "world

Posted Aug 15, 2012it seems, you need some special permission to use /lb tool. What permission is that and why it is not listed? I have all permissions and still cannot use that command.
Why didn't you mentioned this in permissions list?
I just can't find the permission, that allows a player to use a tool.
logblock.spawnTools does not work.
What does "permissionDefault" do in config.yml?

Posted Aug 15, 2012please add an option to rollback in all worlds. my co-owner refuses to name our world anything but "world", which causes console to be unable to do rollbacks in the main world because LB can't take "world" as the value of the world parameter
