Minecraft plugin LogBlock

🔌 About LogBlock

LogBlock — is a Minecraft server plugin that logs block changes and player actions to support anti‑griefing investigation and rollback. LogBlock records events such as block placement, block break, modification and similar actions and stores those records in a database, making it possible to inspect and revert changes when needed.

🎯 Purpose

• Provide reliable, queryable history of player actions for server moderation and anti‑griefing.
• Allow administrators to identify who made a change and (where supported) roll back edits.

LogBlock is used primarily as a logging and rollback utility on servers running Bukkit‑compatible cores. ()

⚙ Core capabilities

• Logs block events (placement, break, modification, burning) and player actions as supported by the plugin code. ()
• Stores logs in a relational database (GitHub README documents MySQL usage). ()
• Intended for use on Bukkit / Spigot / Paper platforms (compatibility listed on plugin pages). ()
• Can be used as an anti‑griefing tool and for rollbacks (rollback features referenced in official repo). ()

🧩 Who it's for

• Server owners and administrators who need audit logs of in‑game actions.
• Moderators who investigate griefing, theft, or suspicious edits.
• Projects that require a queryable history for moderation and restoration.

🏗 Examples of use

• Inspect which player last changed a block to resolve a grief report.
• Roll back an area after unwanted destruction (where rollback support is available and configured).
• Track container edits and player interactions to investigate theft (functionality depends on plugin build).

⌨️ Commands

The repositories and official plugin pages reference inspection and rollback capabilities but do not provide a single authoritative command list in the locations we queried. For exact commands please consult the plugin's download package or included README. ()

🔐 Permissions

The GitHub README notes that use of a permissions plugin is possible but not strictly necessary; exact permission nodes should be obtained from the plugin build or documentation. ()

⚙ Installation

📥 Installing

• Download the LogBlock .jar from an official distribution (Modrinth / Spigot / GitHub releases). ()
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ directory.
• Restart the server completely (do not rely on /reload).
• Verify the plugin loads without errors in the server console.

📦 Dependencies

• Database: LogBlock is documented to use a MySQL database in its repository; configure a supported relational database for storage. ()
• Permissions plugin: the README indicates permission plugin use is optional. ()

(Only dependencies explicitly referenced in official sources are listed above.)

🧾 Configuration

• Specific config file names and settings were not consistently documented in the official sources retrieved. Administrators should open the plugin folder created after first run or consult the downloaded plugin package for config details. ()
• Database connection parameters must be configured if MySQL is used (see README/release package for the required fields). ()

🧠 Additional information

• Known conflicts / limitations: official sources do not provide a consolidated list of conflicts. Community reports historically mention compatibility issues when server or database versions differ; verify on a staging server before production deployment. (Community reports are separate from official docs.) ()
• FAQ
  1. Does LogBlock require MySQL? — The official repository documents MySQL usage; configure a database as described in the plugin package. ()
  2. Which server cores are supported? — Official plugin pages list Bukkit/Spigot/Paper as supported platforms. ()
  3. Where are exact commands and permission nodes? — The authoritative list is included with the released plugin bundle or its README; it was not fully listed on the summary pages we accessed. ()
• Telemetry / bStats: Information about usage statistics (bStats) was not found in the official sources retrieved.
• Discord / Support: Modrinth and other listing pages reference a community/Discord entry but do not provide a canonical support URL in the locations we queried; consult the plugin distribution package for links. ()

When using LogBlock on modern Minecraft versions, prefer recent builds from official release pages and test configurations (database settings, charsets, and plugin compatibility) on a staging server before production deployment. ()
