GriefLog

We are discussing plans for Sponge and GlowStone support. Please be patient :)
If you are using WorldEdit 6.0 or later please use the 5.2.2 version. If you are using WorldEdit 5.x.y please use version 5.2.3-worldedit, thank you.

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.
[20:38:02 ERROR]: Command exception: /glog tool
org.bukkit.command.CommandException: Cannot execute command 'glog' in plugin GriefLog v5.2.2 - plugin is disabled.
what can i do in anable the plugin
Hi,
The /glog rollback p:<player> or /glog rollback e:break - doesnt seem to work just comes up with an eternal error this is on MC version 1.11
also im trying to rollback bcs a griefer well griefed however it kicks me from the server and says lost connection or acctually does a search but keeps saying now going to rollback 0 events.... however the grieflog.txt file tells me what has happened... please can you advice?
or is it possible to have this looked at?
Hey, it's a very helpful plugin and does what is should, but every time I start the server I get this strange error:
http://pastebin.com/yfFb9vDF
Any idea whats wrong? Already checked that the WorldEdit Version and the GriefLog Version match as they should. I'm using Worldedit 6.0 and GriefLog 5.2.2
@Joakim1398
What server are you using? This seems to be a new server version that GriefLog doesn't support.
@blackwolf12333
No, it gave no error after the line i sent you,
This is the startup error: http://pastebin.com/xj5K1ghE
@Joakim1398
I'm going to need more of that error. There should be a couple of lines beneath that, if you could paste those that would really help. Same for the error on loading the plugin.
I'm really unhappy with the rollback, it disconnects me and gives this in the console: [21:22:26 INFO]: Jocke155 lost connection: Internal Exception: java.lang.NullPoi nterException
@blackwolf12333
I also get error everytime Grieflog load, but it still works (kind of) It says that i have ignited blocks with flind and steel for some reason?
@Joakim1398
This problem sounds familiar, I'll check it out. For a survival mode server a solution could be to set the item to something like bedrock, that way you can still get the item via creative mode.
I use spigot 1.8 and worldedit 6.0. (With grieflog 5.2.2) /glog tool does nothing, it confirms i get the item but i don't.
@jacksimo14
You shouldn't, is there a server error?
Can i ask why am i getting disconnected when i do a rollback
@Rocologo
GriefLog 5.2.2 should work, if it doesn't please leave a bug report. I'll see what I can do about it :)
When CraftBukkit was taken down, I changed to http://www.spigotmc.org/ and it works fine with all my plugins. Unfortuantely I'm using WorldEdit 6.x so I hope that you are planing to update this great plugin?
@Hilliard20914
Hmm, I hoped that take down of Bukkit wouldn't last. Well, at least I'll have something interesting to do :)
It will take some time though, as they don't expect to release anything real before 1.8. So don't expect much from me before that, though I'll try to start working on some things before that.
@blackwolf12333
http://www.Spongepowered.org Its the new server/client mod API for Minecraft that the top mod developers are working on. Since bukkit wend down they pooled their resources to make the API that Mojang wouldn't.
@Hilliard20914
What might that be? I'm not familiar with it and can't seem to find it with a quick google search :/
I was wondering if you had plans to port your plugin over to Sponge?
@Hilliard20914
Can't you give very specific permissions? I thought you could do that with WorldEdit.
Edit:
If you only give these permissions to your mods they shouldn't be able to edit anything. Though before you use this try it on a copy of your production server to check if it indeed works as you expect.
@blackwolf12333
I just don't like giving Moderators access to worldedit, and the size of the rollback was if you added the area event.
