LogBlock
Works 100% with 1.7 / 1.8
The best block logging and rollback solution for the savvy server administrator.
LogBlock is the best block logging plugin for Bukkit server. Not only is it awesomely powerful, it’s blazing fast! Everything is logged into a MySQL database, allowing developers to hook in and produce things such as player stats and even administrative panels. Every loggable action can be logged with LogBlock: WorldEdit, leave decay, fire, sign changes, explosions, chest changes, player and animal deaths, chat, commands and more!
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk.
LogBlock will very rarely break between Minecraft / Bukkit updates, however if you find it does, please be sure to try a development build from above, as we generally test new releases there until deemed stable.
What is LogBlock?
LogBlock is a tool which allows you to keep track of almost everything on your server, while also giving you the ability to rollback (revert) or redo changes made by users and natural occurrences such as liquid flow or leaf decay. Additionally, LogBlock is able to log and rollback chest contents, sign text and more! LogBlock was originally created by bootswithdefer for HMod, ported to Bukkit by DiddiZ and is now actively maintained by md_5, ammar2 and the community of developers on Bukkit. We accept pull requests on GitHub frequently which means that community developers can add features they wish to see quicker than LogBlock developers are able to from tickets. All database actions are run not only in their own threads, but are queued into a consumer to minimize lag on the main thread. This is great for larger servers! All optional features (not dependencies below) are enabled and disabled from within the config file allowing complete control over what is logged thus ensuring database size is kept to a minimum.
Notices
Most virtual chest plugins are not compatible with LogBlock. Because they do not set the player who is opening the “chest”, LogBlock can’t do what it’s meant to be able to do, thus, making errors in your console. Please report these issues to the fake-chest plugin developer, NOT LogBlock developers.
Issues are read more frequently on the GitHub Issues page as compared to the comments below. When updating to LB1.57, if you already have a large database and have changed your columns to MEDIUMINT, INT or LARGEINT, you do not need the updater to fix this for you automatically. To stop this behaviour, simply change “version” in the configuration to ‘1.57’.
If you are experiencing an error such as this please read the FAQ for answers.
If you're receiving errors regarding players from the consumer such as "[Consumer] Failed to add player <playername>" then change all `playerid` columns to MEDIUMINT or INT in each table that contains them. This may take a long time if you have a lot of rows.
Optional Dependencies
- WorldEdit (Recommended)
- Permissions plugin
- LogBlock Questioner

WARN: Establishing SSL connection without server's identity verification is not recommended. According to MySQL 5.5.45+, 5.6.26+ and 5.7.6+ requirements SSL connection must be established by default if explicit option isn't set. For compliance with existing applications not using SSL the verifyServerCertificate property is set to 'false'. You need either to explicitly disable SSL by setting useSSL=false, or set useSSL=true and provide truststore for server certificate verification.
Going off of what CloakedAlien had said, he is correct. However, you also need to add '&' to the end of it. This might not be obvious to some who have tried his fix. Just make sure to change your database name in the configuration.txt to look like this.
database: dynmap?useSSL=false& (change dynmap to your database name)
hi, i love this plugin!... is the better weapon against griefers (aside with jailworker)
... when will it with work with 1.13.x? ... i am trying to run with, but last stable lb compilation (#282) seems to fail
thanks
There is an incorrect time stored 6 hours early. We have German time.
how can i adjust the time ?
Hi,
You can find the 1.12 / 1.12.1 version here
Thanks you md5 for your work :)
Would be great if LogBlock didn't lock up the entire server when it can't establish a connection to the Database...
It crashes, then does exactly that and even blocks the server from properly shutting down until a connection could be reestablished, which is honestly so stupid...
can someone update https://github.com/LogBlock/LogBlock with the .jar please ?
it seems github repo has 1.12 updates, like #694, 20 days ago (https://github.com/LogBlock/LogBlock)
however jenkins still shows #275 binary from 7 months ago (https://ci.md-5.net/job/LogBlock/)
are jenkins automatic builds disabled?
Hi,
Is this plugin compatible with 1.12?
Hi,
Will Logblock update for 1.12?
Md5 keeps LogBlock updated.
You can find the 1.11 version here
@CloakedAlien
Very useful. Thanks for figuring that out.
@CloakedAlien
Looking at the code, where the URL is constructed:
I deduced that I could simply append "?useSSL=false" on my database name and it seems to have done the trick! =)
Using LogBlock v1.10 with Spigot v1.11
WARN: Establishing SSL connection without server's identity verification is not recommended. According to MySQL 5.5.45+, 5.6.26+ and 5.7.6+ requirements SSL connection must be established by default if explicit option isn't set. For compliance with existing applications not using SSL the verifyServerCertificate property is set to 'false'. You need either to explicitly disable SSL by setting useSSL=false, or set useSSL=true and provide truststore for server certificate verification.
Most likely LogBlock is the culprit and I can't seem to change SSL settings anywhere =/
Spamming my console.
Could possibly be another plugin, but I think I've managed to set useSSL=false on all the others =)
Please update 1.10 !
How can I track who used a button/switch? It seems I'm missing the right command/parameter but can't find it. Tool/Toolblock don't tell me anything either.
I know for a fact a button has been used and "switchinteract" is on "true" and should be logged. What am I missing? Sorry, I'm a newbie admin. ;)
@Chevels: It sort of works. Most blocks can be rolled back but there are many which aren't properly rolled back for me on 1.10.0 with logblock for 1.9 (the latest available one).
If you do currently need bulletproof block logging I honestly don't really recommend LogBlock due to its current inability to roll back a handful of blocks and especially their data tags.
If its a small server and you dont expect major grief to happen until the actual 1.10 update hits you can just throw it on and try it :) It won't break your server to try.
Hello, this plugin does it work in 1.10?
@SureWay
Are you going to keep updating this plugin ? I do encourage you to do so
SQLlite Please
Hello!
I will use your LogBlock Logo for a Wiki post is that ok?
