CoreProtect

CoreProtect is an essential tool for a server of nearly any size. It allows you to track, view, and revert almost any change made by a player and a decent amount of changes made by the game itself. It’s a highly recommended plugin if you’re running Spigot or any of it’s forks.

Installation

You will need to download the latest version of CoreProtect.

Import the downloaded CoreProtect-XX.X.jar file in the plugins folder in the server and restart your server.

When the server restarts, it will load the plugin and generate files in the new folder called CoreProtect.

Inspect

Once CoreProtect is running, it will log actions happening to the server.

You can enable inspector mode using the command /co inspect or simply /co i, with it you can:

• Left-click a block to see who placed that block.
• Right-click a block to see what adjacent block was removed.
• Place a block in a location to see what block was removed at that location.
• Place a block in another block (water, lava, etc.) to see who placed it in it.
• Right-click on a door, button, chest, furnace, etc. to see who last used it.

To disable inspector mode use the same command again /co inspect.

Basic rollback

To rollback actions with the following command:

/co rollback user:<user> time:<time> radius:<radius> action:<action> blocks:<blocks> exclude:<exclude> #<hashtag>

The parameters are optional and some of them are required, you can write them in any order.

user:<user> rollbacks actions from the specified player.

time:<time> rollbacks actions within specified period of time, it can be weeks, days, hours, minutes, and/or seconds, mentioned by their first letter.

radius:<radius> rollbacks actions within range of blocks nearby you. By default it is 10 blocks.

see below for details

Detailed explanation of all commands are listed below.

Here are some example commands:

/co rollback user:Alex time:2h This will rollback Alex's actions from 2 hours ago. Since the radius is not set, it is automatically set to 10 blocks radius from you.

/co rollback radius:200 time:1d This will rollback actions from all players because no user is specified within 200 blocks radius from 1 day ago.

/co rollback user:Steve time:1h30m radius:15 This will rollback Steve's action from 1 hour and 30 minutes ago within 15 blocks of radius.
