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 17, 2012Plugin has been great.
EXCEPT FOR HOW ANYONE CAN USE THE TOOLS.
When running my server I get no messages saying anything is wrong. I have all my permissions set up fine and don't get this problem with any other plugins.
Yet everyone can use the tools. Had a player asking me why opening his chest with his wooden pickaxe was giving him block info. -_-
It happens whether permissionDefault: is set to true or false. Doesn't make a difference. They still can use the tools.
Looks like Hawkeyes the only option left to try but I've heard it has real slow rollback times :S

Posted Jun 17, 2012hello, this is probably a dumb question, but how do I go to different page numbers when I use logblock lookup commands, for instance /lb lookup player theslayerofpie returns around 7 pages of results but I cannot figure out how view the additional pages (btw this lovely young gentleman decided it would be nice to place swastikas all over the area surrounding spawn, I have /plugins blocked so he prob did not know I have logblock :D although I wont ban unless he griefed, just want to check) thanks for your help!

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)

Don't use online databases for logging, it may end up crashing your server if there is a lot of traffic on db4free.

No he mean't that /reload is technically bad. It breaks every other plugin. Java does not handle the reload correctly and causes a huge mess. Your server will mess up and lag more and more if you /reload and don't restart.

Posted Jun 13, 2012I cant seem to find the option to disable rollback after ban... This is causing a issue! Help!
Also, With my 63 plugin server with 50 players all times... /reload would make the world undergo nuclear fission

It's not the best thing, but if you have a minimal amount of plugins and players it's very useful. I, however, have 46 plugins and a ton of players, so /reloading my server would probably make the world implode.
