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

Yeah I tried that but entered it wrong, somehow though LogBlock corrected it for me lol.. but even though it's listed as a player I set it up under "hiddenplayers" in the config I believe that is correct? And it's still logging it..
EDIT Ok I think I got it, had to figure out how to add "[]" brackets.. so added it like so: '[Forestry]' and it seems to no longer be logging it.. whew lol..
@jamietech
and yes not having it log saplings would solve my problem as that's what every block it shows was edited was lol.. but then it wouldn't log other saplings from real players.. and yes I could also have it auto clear the database but then that too would not help me much in the long run..
@Iomega0318 @jamietech
also on the lbwebstats.. I feal retarded lol.. I read this: https://github.com/DiddiZ/LogBlockWebStats/issues/10 and looked at my config.. turns out I accidently set the wrong database details *face palm*..

If it shows up as a player I think you can go in the config and add it to- IgnoredPlayers or something like that.

Are you sure this issue is not from you using '/lb tool' instead of '/lb toolblock'
@darkvirusx1987
Was your config saved and loaded on the server?
@GrayPoint
May require some tweaking but yes, it should.
@Pixiyo
Turn the animal killing on in death log options.
@softballs
Is player logging enabled?
@mafima
This isn't hawkeye, you are able to use tools normally when disabled.
@rfsantos1996
Set 'permissionDefault' to false.
@Alslinet
Are you sure LB enabled correctly?
@webshoptv
Rollback the user the fire is logged under.
@Iomega0318
LogBlock webstats on DiddiZ's github.
@Pr07o7yp3
Yes, but most of us are busy with our real lives.
@Iomega0318
Auto log clear or disable some logging options.

Posted Aug 26, 2012I remember reading somewhere to turn something off to keep the database from growing out of control.. what was it again lol? My database has already hit 163+MB and growing with 1,722,709 rows! :)
Also I have mods installed one of which is Forestry so "Forestry" shows up as player ID 1 which is actually what generated ALL of those rows lol! How can I disable it from logging certain things or possibly all of Forestry? I would love to log it but at almost 2 million rows in about a day that's a bit much!..
Also "EnderDragon" shows up as player ID 2 and has 3K rows in the end :)

That does rollback things burnt by fire, as it counts fire as a player. If you want to rollback invidually placed fires, e.g. the block placed itself, it's simply: /lb rollback block fire since 1h.
But /lb rollback player fire since 1h rolls back damage caused by fire since one hour, so that is correct.

Thx, but I didn't meant the player "fire", I meant the fire you get with flint and steel!

No there is actually no message what so ever. The only command that seems to work is /lb me. That shows how many blocks i have changed.
I have the logblock.* permission. Im also using pex permission plugin just in case thats a problem.

Posted Aug 25, 2012Hi
I have been using LogBlock on my server for a few days now.
But when i check the players table firstlogin, lastlogin, onlinetime and ip is empty on all players, what could be causing that?
