Description
How many times has someone on your server told you that someone griefed there house, but they don't know who did it? Well, this is a great way to fix that. GriefLog will log every event that happens within your server. It will also separate the log files into worlds. So now you can prove that it was in fact a griefer. Now, you don't need to actually go into the log files, you can take out your GriefLog tool and left click on a block, it will bring up the information. You can also simply use a command to roll back the grief. More information is below.
Usage
So what exactly does GriefLog log? What can it do to help me? Well, GriefLog will log just about anything. It then saves it to a file called GriefLog.txt which can be found in "<YourServerDirectory>/logs/<world>/grieflog.txt." It is the same on every operating system. Here is a list of exactly GriefLog will log:
- When a player joins the server
- When a player breaks a block
- When a player places a block
- When a player uses a command
- When a player changes the world they are in (e.g. Entering the nether)
- When a player leaves the server
- If a player's game mode changes
- If a block is ignited
- If a bucket is emptied
- If an Enderman takes or places a block
- If a Zombie breaks down a door
- If there is any kind of explosion
All of this is logged to a very simple layout. You can choose a block with the GriefLog tool, Use the Search command, or look through the GriefLog.txt files.
Commands
We have many different commands to try and make the plugin as simple as possible to use.
- /glog - This will show you the version of GriefLog you are running.
- /glog tool - This will provide you with the GriefLog tool. You can set the tool in the config.yml
- /glog rollback <options> - to use roll backs, please read the section on our wiki here.
- /glog search <options> - You can search certain events. The options are the same used on the rollbacks.
- /glog page <page_number> - This will let you go through the other pages of your most recent search.
- /glog help - This will bring up the same information you see right here but within your Minecraft Client.
- /glog undo <id> - This will undo the rollback associated with the ID. Do not provide an ID to undo the most recent rollback.
- /glog report - This will report a grief. It will alert the admins of a report when they log in.
- /glog report view - Admins can view information of a grief report. It shows the location of the report, and the reporter.
Need Help?
We are here for you! Feel free to leave a comment, or better leave a ticket. **IMPORTANT**If you are willing to leave the IP address of your server within your ticket, pm, or comment, BlackWolf will be able to enter your server and will have the permission to use the /glog command to see what version you are running. You can disable this feature in the config.yml.

Metrics
GriefLog creates debug logs, since 5.2.0, in the plugin directory in case there is a problem. You can disable this in the configuration file with the option debug-logging. When you set this to false it will not log any debug information. This information is only used by me to find out more about a bug you might encounter. It will log things like how long it takes to search a file, what is being searched for and if there are any problems when searching, for instance a data type that has been corrupted that can cause the search to fail.
External connections
Since version 5.2.3 GriefLog uses an external service to get the UUID from his name. This has to be done because the search tries to find the UUID of the player you search for in the logs instead of his name. This is because when 1.8 gets here you can change your name, but you can't change your UUID. But to make sure that searching doesn't get more complicated I needed a way to let you guys search for a players name while GriefLog searches for his UUID. For that I currently use an external service until Bukkit will provide one for me, or if they don't I'll keep using this one.
@Blacksmithkazuma
It only might be just a few seconds faster when you have like 30 files to search through. I don't really think it would matter very much, and also, for GriefLog you don't have to setup an sql database, which is not possible for everyone. That's one of the strong sides of GriefLog i believe, because most of the other block loggers use sql. I wan't to keep it simple, no need to setup other stuff first, just start using it:D

@blackwolf12333
I would find it be easier to maintain and since its a block logger with roll back it would be more efficient?
@Blacksmithkazuma
Does it? it works perfectly without it:P Though, i have been thinking about adding that too.
this needs to be tunned for sql
@drwarthogjr
Ok, than make a ticket, so i can fix it:D
Im getting an internal error when trying to rollback explosions.
@TonochiKun
I'll try to add that, but don't expect it in the next release.
Can you execute a rollback command with a time signature on it ? For example you only want to rollback any explosions that has happened in the past minute ?
@1996BRECHT
First, sorry for the late reply, i was on an excursion with school to london:P
Greetz blackwolf12333
HOLY THIS THIS IS AWESOME ! I got some errors with blocklog but this works like a charm !
but only 2 questions:
1)
2) you should add a thing to rollback all the things a griefer has placed/broken at the same time, with one single command (I use we to rollback)
Wouaw ! Is exactely the plugin i was looking for !
@kilianl111111
:D I know, although some of the admins should try to learn how to rollback :P
