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

What part of the first line 'Make sure your MySQL user has access to the LogBlock folder' does not make sense?

if this was greifing due to a certain player, creeper or tnt, you could use the command
/lb rb player creeper area 30 since 13.09.2012
replace creeper with the player name, or TNT
change the date to the date you wish, also after date you can include the exact time you want those 30 blocks to rb to
if you want to just remove all changes use
/lb rb area 30 since 13.09.2012
an example including date and time format
/lb rb area 30 since DD.MM.YYYY HH.MM.SS
this is day month year and hour minute seconds so it really is completely customisable

i don't get why you are having this issue, i am using the latest of everything, and haven't encountered this problem, and i am using the permission logblock.* for myself (tested while not op)
so i am really unsure why this happened to you, but thanks for the fix for other people experiencing the same issue

Posted Sep 14, 2012TO EVERYONE HAVING LOGBLOCK TOOL PROBLEMS FOR NON-OP:
The permission nodes are bugged up. If you give the logblock.* permission to a group - the tools won't work because it includes the permission node "logblock.tool.toolblock" - which is wrong. You're supposed to have logblock.tools.toolblock - with an S after Tools. So you'll have to manually add the logblock.tools.tool and logblock.tools.toolblock nodes.
Good luck guys.

That it does, but its chest logging sucks (Which is why I switched). I never really seen a need to log worldedit... just don't give it to people you don't trust.

Posted Sep 14, 2012Hello, I havent granted permission to any of my players to use logblock but the staff yet regular players can use the blocktools and can hide from logblock again with no permission to do so. Can someone give me a bit of advice to fix this issue. Thanks.

Posted Sep 13, 2012pretty sure there isn't a way to support worldedit because the way world edit changes things is difficult to log, if that has changed, would be great, but last i heard they couldn't do it
STRAIGHT FROM THE FAQ SECTION HERE
Is it possible to log action from a editor like WorldEdit or VoxelSniper?* + No. These editors change the world right in the server without firing the hooks. But you can ask them to use the LogBlock API.
NOTE: oh and this does work with the latest DEV builds of BUKKIT SPOUTPLUGIN and SPOUTCRAFT

I think they're working on that, considering they added some thing like that but for signs instead. But have not posted a new update yet.
