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

I think that works. I have a mod using id 340 as a machine block and it gets logged

If the mod fires the proper Bukkit hooks and you have 'safety.id.check' set to 'false' the blocks will be logged. However, custom chests will not be logged unless they fire the relevant events.

An overloaded queue cannot crash the server unless you are operating with very low grade hardware. If worldedit logging is set to false this cannot be the problem.
@xK3ks
'all' is spelt incorrectly on one line.
@shadOrapist
Check the Configuration page on the wiki.
@PhilMcCrackin
If your SQL server can handle more it is recommended to pump this value up.

Posted Jan 3, 2014I'm having a problem. For some reason it isn't logging any actions. It was for the first few days of use. Now when I try to inspect something it says "No block data" or something similar. Hoe do I fix this. BTW, I can inspect older things and that works.

LogBlock has had the ability to rollback chests for ages. Just make sure you set
in your world.yml, etc.
Also note that while LogBlock can log the items placed in chests, it is unable to log special metadata (enchantments on tools, text in books, etc) and this will be lost if you roll back a chest.
