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.
@blackwolf12333
Ah! Thank you!
Then this plugin is working perfectly. :)
Thanks for the answer! <3
does it check the blockchanges from the archived logs?
@yayo1942
I deleted it because i already have these things fixed, if you look in the config, it says:"mb: 5" that's why your log doesn't grow bigger than 5 mb, and you don't lose your logs, they are nicely saved in the logs directory in your servers root folder. Also, you need the latest version of course ...:P
I'm in no way trying to be rude here, but...
Can I know why did my ticket got removed?
It was the one suggesting larger log size, since it starts to delete the events past 5mb.
Thanks.
@nm3230
Yeah, i know, i am trying to finish it, but it was harder as i thought it would be... So it will take a while, but i think it then gets the same quality as HawkEye or any other plugin which does the same...:P
greetz blackwolf12333
This plugins looks quite good. It seems like a simple grief-buster plugin. It is very simple. It would be SO good, if you could finish roll-vback option.
@fablecraft
Ticket system is enabled now, please put everything there, then i can fix it:) i already fixed your problem with the /glog tool and the tool itself, but i wan't to add some other things before i put a new version on bukkitdev. greetz blackwolf12333
Can you allow tickets on this dev.bukkit-site? Don't wanna "spam" my problems here, where they can go under. :D
First a suggestion: When I use /glog tool, I would love to have a message like "The GriefLog-Tool was given to you."
Then a problem: When I click on a block with it nothing happens inGame, but the console says this:

@ferrybig
Ehm, i am gonna look into adding an api in the weekend, i still don't really know how, but i'll find out:P
greetz blackwolf12333
@GrimblyGorn
Sure, but i'll have to do that tomorrow, because i don't think i have that much time today:( @Jackalmen: No problem:) greetz blackwolf12333
@blackwolf
Thanks for helping me through the problems I was having with the tool. It was all on my end. Have a good one! Jack
Could you add the ability to toggle which things are logged through the config file please ?
@ferrybig
Hmm no not yet, i'll try to add that now:P, and about the api, i never did that before, so i don't really know how to do that:P greetz blackwolf12333
EDIT: added it to the new version: 2.9.5
does it log creeper explotions, in case that users lure creepers to buildings, or spawn creepers there?
plz add an plugin api where plugin devopers can use to manualy search up the blocks
I didn't even think to look for logs in a log directory... :D Yep. I feel that dumb now. HA. Thanks again! Keep it up.
@Jackalmen
Ehm, did you restart your server? Because reload doesn't work on my plugin i believe, don't know why, i'll try to fix that. And yes, when a log gets bigger as the size you told it to be in the configuration file, then it will be moved to a directory called "logs". greetz blackwolf12333
I upgraded from v2.8.2 to v2.9.1 and my gltool (exp bottle) isn't working. I'm going to downgrade. Just fyi.
Wellll - alright if you insist, I do have one other question. When a log fills up, does it get renamed and placed somewhere else or is it just deleted? Thanks!
@Jackalmen
First of all thanks:) I was trying to add the bucket empty event, and then warn ops if a number of buckets of lava were emptied, but it didn't work that well jet, so i didn't add it, but i forgot to change the config:P greetz blackwolf12333
PS: always ask questions if you have some:)
