Geo
This plugin came about due to the fact that I have noticed many patterns in where griefers are located. It was created as an in house project for the server I play on, however I will release it here (because DrFusion decided to release it without my consent here so i took control). So for anyone that thought DrFusion wrote this, he did not, he stole this from me. To view the source go here.
Version: 1.0.4
Features:
- Works with the permissions, however the permission required to geolocate a player defaults to OP.
- Simple command, and lightweight, the plugin is under 100 lines of code.
Permission Node:
Geo.geoLocate- Allows a player to use the geo command
Change Log:
- V 1.0.4- Fixed the safety concerns of ferrybig
- V 1.0.3- I noticed that if the API I am using for geolocation goes down then if a request is made it will lock up the server. I made the requests go in a seperate thread, which should fix this problem, however I haven't had the service go down again so haven't been able to test it.
- V 1.0.2- Initial public release
Command:
/geo <name> – Geolocates the given player.

Lol, I also banned the whole of Italy with Easyban + GeoIPTools due to this.
Just came to say that this plugin is similar to the two mentioned above.
@ferrybig
I realize this is not necessarily a safe way to do this, however the alternative is that whenever the API goes down, and someone uses the command it blocks up the server and kicks everyone. I personally have had no problems due to the fact that I am using them outside the main method, and have minimized the bukkit calls to prevent that from happening.
this plugin isn't safe to use, because its using threads other than the main server thread to acces the bukkit api, like I said at the plugin "websend", use things listed on http://wiki.bukkit.org/Scheduler_Programming to fix.
The command from my on websend (thread safety problems can cause big problems....):
