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 Jun 26, 2012I'm trying to run LB and it's throwing errors on server start:
I'm running PermissionsEx, Vault is installed and working, and I'm at a loss. Is there some other dependency that I'm missing? Or a configuration issue that the last 6 hours have failed to track down? Thoughts?

In every location I can find, it says that it will use Spout D:
But I'll take your word for it since you're a maintainer :)
In that case, any idea why it's not working?
EDIT: Actually, it's storing the data fine - It's just not looking it up.
Any idea on that?

Posted Jun 25, 2012Can you *please* have this record death locations. It would save me countless infuriating hour of trying to find where someone died to get their deathchest. It seems like something so simple. Thanks.

Yes. Otherwise, the plugin will have no database to send the logs to.

LogBlock doesn't need spout for chestaccess, it has a built in api. If you have spout, it will opt to use spout's api for chestaccess instead.

Posted Jun 22, 2012I have the config set to log Chestaccess, but it's not working. I don't think it's downloading spout, and I don't know where I need to put it. Would just putting it in plugins work? And would that...change/add anything to the server?

I run a pvp/grief/steal server, and the 'default' for this plugin made it so people could just run around spam clicking and find hidden stuff (bases, chests, etc). So I wanted to disable this, like you.
However, I don't run any form of permissions, mainly because in my case there's no need to (I'm the only admin/op). What I ended up doing was opening the LogBlock.jar, and editting plugin.yml > the defaultpermission: nodes for the relevant sections. Set it to Op instead of True and it'll be the way you want.
Make sure that when you edit the plugin.yml, there's no tabs! Notepad added tabs and destroy my logblock entirely. Made me rage...

I wouldn't recommend this is if you get a lot of new people, the page takes ages to load with so many player pictures :/
EDIT: If you want a demo of how I made mine look, you can see my logs here :)

Posted Jun 18, 2012@Abcedea Thanks but I've already seen the comments and tried that.
Like I said, It doesn't make a difference whether I have permissiondefault set to true or false. They all still can use the tools. :(
Edit: Yet permissions still are working because users can't actually trigger rollbacks and whatnot.
Edit2: I got rid of by adding the nodes you said, but to normal users as negative nodes. Are there any other I should be adding? I don't feel entirely safe with this plugin now lol.

./lb page <number>
This is after you have inspected the block/chest etc.
Oh, and ban the people who made the Swasti's, thats actually quite hateful. It is a global ban reason on MCBans XD

Thats just a default enabled... Dude look at the comments:
Quoting myself:
In the config, search and replace to this:
and then give people you want to allow access to the tools the node:
(last 2 may be deprecated or an entirely different plugin hehe)
