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 Dec 23, 2012Logblock is not searching right, if I use since or any param like that it shows no results. The only thing that works is strait up /lb rb player <name> Or /rban with MCBans.
I can't use multiple names. Two griefers worked together, so if I rollback 1 at a time it does not fix correctly, but if I do /lb rb player boomhead37 darian767 It says no edits.

I'm getting the same error. It appears LogBlock is unable to use MySQL. I'm getting similar errors with other plugins that have yet to update to 1.4.6, like Jail and ReportRTS. They simply cannot connect to the database.

It could be nature, such as water flow, leaves decay.

Posted Dec 22, 2012Hi, Can I have some explanation :P ? I had only one player connected which wasn't approved. This mean he didn't have permissions to build or break blocks. Now when I take a look to this part of log : http://pastie.org/5565782 I can see that the queue grew up fast but when I check, I've no griefing, no blocks change and even "/lb lookup player nilekee28" says that there is no block change. Did it try to log blocks that were denied from another plugin then it saw it was denied and didn't save them?
Thanks

I'm having the same "issue" here, I'm guess it's just not hooking into it. SwatchDog on the other hand has a custom version with support for that, and I valuate switching to that instead.

Thanks for that mate, I have checked and it is definitely set to true for that option and has been for awhile, It just doesn't seem to log chest access for the tekkit based chests like iron or gold chests. hmm

Try disabling leaf decay or other really intensive operations.

I'm using 1.58 now (but this worked in 1.54) for a tekkit 3.1.2 server
Open up the world specific yml
world.yml world_nether.yml etc
In each one is a set of logging configurations, set the chestaccess to true. You're probably like me thinking putting it in the config.yml would work...nope...has to be that world specific. Not sure when that changed but the documentation doesn't reflect it.
