HoneyPot
Honeypot - Honeypots (griefer traps)
Authors: Argomirr, andune, dog.big, BeastsMC
Supports 1.6.X and 1.7.X
A plugin that allows Op's to create so called "honeypots," traps to identify and take care of dishonest players. Using the /honeypot or /hp commands you can turn any block into a honeypot: if a griefer tries to break it, everyone online will be alerted and the violation will be logged so an admin can take action, and optionally, Honeypot can kick or ban said player automatically. The block will be replaced, the trap reset - ready to catch the next griefer before he knows it.
For example, you can place a little shrine with valuable blocks such as gold near your spawn, and turn them into honeypots. When a griefer logs in, sees nobody around and decides the shiny blocks on that shrine would look so much better in his house, he's already given himself away.

Can you add support for XYZ ban plugin?
No, I won't. Please read the author's note at the bottom of this page. However, I've made it really easy for you to do it yourself and contribute. Read about it here.
Features:
- Plug 'n play - just drop Honeypot.jar in your plugins directory, and you're good to go
- Identify and take care of dishonest players (almost) entirely automatically
- Very easy to use
- Full logging of honeypot violations
- Configurable via a .properties file
- Changeable ban and kick/info reason
- Supports MCBans, EasyBan, UltraBan, KiwiAdmin, vanilla bans and Permissions
- Supports points feature for advanced needs, read the link for more info
- PHP script for showing Honeypot ban logs online: link (courtesy of @jellehen)
How to install and configure
- To install Honeypot, drop Honeypot.jar into your plugins directory, and run the server once. The plugin will generate a new directory, plugins/Honeypot, where you can find the honeypot violation log (honeypot.log), the properties file (honeypot.properties) and a file used to store honeypot data (list.ncsv).
- Open honeypot.properties with your favorite text editor and make any changes you want, then run your server again.
- A little note: if you wish to enable the ban feature, set the kick feature to false. Note that you need to have MCBans installed in order for banning to work.
- Permission nodes for the Permissions plugin (2.7 and also PEX with compatibility core):
honeypot.break # Can the user destroy honeypots? honeypot.create # Can the user place honeypots using /honeypot?
- Congratulations, you've set up your honeypot! You can set up as many honeypots as you like, but keep in mind that this system was not designed to be used as an area protection plugin, so don't apply /hp to every block on your house. See How to use bellow.
How to use
You can now log in and use /honeypot or /hp (Op's only, at this time) to start the process of making a honeypot. You will now be prompted to right click a block with the tool you specified (default: wooden axe) to create a honeypot. You can select any block, but it's recommended you choose a shiny block - something a griefer would want to break - and make sure it doesn't look like an obvious trap. (A single diamond block in the middle of nowhere looks somewhat suspicious, don't you agree?) You can keep selecting blocks until you exit the honeypot creation process by entering the /honeypot or /hp command again. To destroy the honeypot, simply have any Op break it and the block will be dropped as normal.
One more thing: honeypot data will automatically be saved once the server stops, but you can also apply a manual save by using /honeypot save or /hp s to prevent data loss in case of a server crash.
Author's note (andune)
This plugin was originally written by Argomirr. Though his last post related to Honeypot was April 18, 2011, I found value in this plugin and so have kept it updated through newer Bukkit versions and have released it here for others to continue to enjoy as well. Some features have been added at my whim (such as banPoints and WorldEdit region support), but I am not accepting feature requests. If you want a new feature or some new ban plugin supported, please pull the source and write it yourself. Here's a brief guide showing how to add a ban plugin to Honeypot. I WILL NOT help you with coding issues. If you can't figure it out, keep trying/learning until you can, or just use the custom ban type.

And thanks to godsyn for the idea.
Can anyone show me a video on how to install this plugin?I'm still new in making a server....
I can't get this to work, newest HP on Newest Beta Build of CraftBukkit.
Add minebans to this plugin please! :D
Thank you for updating this :)
@Pixiyo
THANK YOU!!!!
@taygub
Had this problem too a while ago, give yourself this permission: honeypot.create
@andune
HELLO! Great Plugin!!! One thing, I am an Admin on my friends server, and it says I have No premission to /hp or /honeypot, I asked my other friend <an owner> to type this too, it did not work, Please help! Thanks, Also, I was OP at the time [color=red]PLEASE RESPOND!!![/color]
@Yibbadale Try downloading it manually, if possible. AutoDownloaders don't always operate properly.
I think a feature to deny or rollback the placement of blocks in a honeypotted location should be added. Why? I honeypot entire buildings in my server with the /hp region command. One short coming of this is that if a block that is air within the region has a block placed in it by a player, and then the player attempts to break the block, he or she can get banned. This is a fairly big fault, because it could lead to a player getting banned just for trying to clean up block spam. As stated earlier, my proposed fix for this is to either completely deny block placement in an HP location, or roll placed blocks back after x time, like broken blocks are.
Installed this plugin on my server today, does not seem to work my server has a list of bukkit server addons that auto install so I know it's properly installed. When I type in /hp or /honeypot it's shoots me back "/hp". That is all that happens the plugin list shows it as active and not broken. Any suggestions?
Idea: an animal honeypot. If they kill the animal > ban
Will anyone be willing to grab the source code for this and make it compatible with banhammer? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/banhammer/
@cosmoscraft
This plugin is 'alive and well' in that it works fine with the current version of Bukkit and feature set it provides and for as long as I'm supporting it, it will continue to be so. Note the text in red in the description above:
If you want a new feature or some new ban plugin supported, please pull the source and write it yourself.
Is this still alive and or will it in the near future?
Could there be a tempban feature?
Also my console is spitting out errors when someone tries to break the honeypot block: http://pastebin.com/wB36YEh7
@strontkever
or this was already fixed, but as i see updates dont get added but renamed with old update-dates...
works even better, used to error on stopping server and trying to rollback broken honeypots.. now they rollback fine :)

HoneyPot works with 1.3.1 w/o any issues.
@RiotShielder
Did it break in 1.3.1? Did you test it?
Any update for 1.3.1?
