Grief Prevention
AUTOMATICALLY PREVENTS ALL FORMS OF GRIEF, including build/break, theft, spam, fire, spawn camping, lava dumping, chat trolling, advertising and more, so you don't have to undo any damage after the fact. It even teaches players how to use it so you don't have to! No configuration or database required. Stop responding to grief and prevent it instead. Grief Prevention will solve your grief problems without requiring you to manage a roster of trained administrators, juggle 10 different anti-grief plugins, take away cool standard game features, publish a training manual / tutorial for players, or add explanatory signs to your world. You can also choose to integrate PvP elements into build design to finally get a PvP experience befitting a sandbox game about creative building.
Grief Prevention stops grief before it starts automatically without any effort from administrators, and with very little (self service) effort from players. Solve all your grief problems with a single download, no database, and no configuration step.

I've also posted Grief Prevention on the Spigot site, where plugins are ranked based on reviews. If you love GP, please take a couple of minutes to give GP your rating and leave a short review. Better rating and positive reviews will help server owners who look for plugins on the Spigot site make the safe choice (GP) instead of downloading something sketchy or incomplete. :) Thanks so much for all your support!

@Tux2
People in my server complain about items disappearing out of their claims. They didn't trust anybody, any idea? Thanks alot.
@Tux2
Thank you! I was just using plain old notepad. Notepad seems to be working just fine.
@vivalaminecraft
Hi, please PM me and we can figure out what exactly you need to do to get it working.
@elirock12
Are there any errors in the console? Which version of Bukkit are you running? What version of GriefPrevention are you running?
@Jnk1296
You most certainly can! Look for the option that makes it so that players have to have permission in order to claim, and remove the worlds that you don't want players claiming in in the config.
@belchinbertha
What are you using to edit the files? I recommend using Notepad++
@joseph96
Unfortunately that really isn't possible with this plugin. If they add the functionality that the turtle mimics the real player as far as block breaks, etc. then it would be compatible.
@elirock12
I'm having this same problem, an answer from Tux would be greatly appreciated :)
Hey, Im using a mod pack called Direwolf20. I have it isntalled and it works fine for player interactions, Can we add a functionality, where if the turtle was placed by a different person, or the quarry, ETC they wont break blocks within someone elses region?
@SophusVir
works ok with BukkitForge
@Tux2
Thnx lol
How do I disable the spam function? It's banning people for saying "Hi".
I should add that I have tried disabling spam by changing true to false, but it always says it was an invalid entry and changes it back.
Ok, enabling eavesdrop doesn't work either. Change it from false to true & it goes right back. Am I doing something wrong? Please PM me??
Does this plugin affect a player's gamemode? Every time someone logs into my server they are in survival mode, regardless of what they were in when they logged off. Could this have come from GP? Thanks
Hey, just a quick question. Is there a way I can limit usage of this plugin to a specific world using PEx? I'm wanting to introduce this on my server as a plugin for use in one single world, as we're still running Towny.
Hey i own a minecraft server and even since the update i wasnt not able to use a gold shovel to claim land. If u can help that would be great eveything else works perfect thanks for an awesome plugin :D. Heres a link to my config file http://paste.yu8.me/?4c595ed4f71fff84#edJJB5ycWJ5BcCFxC6qcOua3Fefz4jimTmJZ4vtj2s4=
@Tux2, would you have any idea why when I manually create a file with the GP format for land protection it shows up on the dynmap but isn't actually protected? I would like to use the api, but sadly I am web programmer which doesn't get along with java.
I am wanting to build conversion tools from worldguard/residence to gp etc via a web form....which I have basically done but it just doesn't register it as a protected area. (Yes I do set the next claimID to the real next one. Still doesn't work.
So if you have ideas please let me know.
Trying to select a claiming area on slabs does not work (or at least is really really iffy)
@JacksonJacksonJackson
Switch your shovel to /adminclaims mode.
@ManBeastPigDev
There's aliases for most of the commands in the description which are only 2 or 3 letters long
@SophusVir
Not vanilla, but you can get a Vanilla feel by running CraftBukkit with no plugins, and run it with Grief Prevention if you wanted only that plugin.
@ManBeastPigDev
Did you or did you not just speak English but you cant understand the word "Aliases" that is English in the description? WoW.
Is there a way to use this in vanilla smp?
@ManBeastPigDev
Most of the commands have a short variation. Like /subdevideclaims are /sc and /adminclaim are /ac. and /basicclaim are /bc
For people who needs more block than they are given by time, they are also the advanced players, who actually would be able to remember the long names.
And the chest protection can be turned of in the config.
PS /help griefprevention or /griefprevention help can go a long way
I love this plugin its bombproof.
It does so much in one plugin its great.
But i am seriously considering leaving GP after 6 months as its stifling my servers growth.
Just one simple reason.
The commands.
They are LONG and complex.
Can anything be done to change them?
I hate factions plugin but its looming.
I think the free chest claim is a bad idea.
It confuses people. They also then forget about the gold spade.
Some think you just use chests. others place there chest and walk off never knowing they
claimed at all. I see the reasoning but in practice it doesn't work.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can this be simplified?
A lot of MC players are too young to remember commands like SubDivideClaims.
Hell i run the server and i am on this page most days looking up a command i can't remember cos its so long an un-natural sounding.
Thanks scray and tux all the same.
Hello I use the Forestry mod and I love your plugin but I cannot seem to get wheat farms to work inside claims. The pick up wheat just fine but WILL NOT replant the seeds, I have added the fake player to the config but to no avail, can anyone help me with what I need to do to get this working?
here is my configuration
http://pastebin.com/MkcugsBz
I have also tried '[Forestry]' with the single quotes.
EDIT:!!!
For anyone else ever having this issue, it seems if you either add these to the ignoreallclaims or trust them in your claim it work has to be both
[Forestry] Forestry
And then it works!
