CoreProtect: Plugin Guide for Minecraft Servers

Description:

CoreProtect is a plugin designed for server inspection, primarily used to monitor user actions on your Minecraft server. Although it’s mainly used for investigating potential griefing, it has a wide range of uses. The plugin allows you to see detailed user actions, whether through manual inspection or specific commands. You can obtain information down to the exact second when a user performed an action. Key commands include /co lookup to search for specific user actions and /co rollback to undo changes if necessary.

🔍 Basic Usage:

1. Action Lookup: Enter Inspector mode by typing /co i. In this mode, you can search for specific user actions with the command /co lookup u:{name}. This includes actions like placing blocks, placing lava, placing water, breaking blocks, and chat logs.

   Example:

   bash

   /co lookup u:username

2. Restore and Purge: After a certain time, you can use /coreprotect restore to undo reverted actions or /co purge to delete all chat logs and command records.

   Example:

   bash

   /coreprotect restore /co purge

3. Nearby Actions: Use /co near to scan blocks near a player and obtain information about placed/destroyed blocks or nearby entities.

   Example:

   bash

   /co near

4. Undoing Changes: In cases of griefing, you can roll back changes using /co rollback.

   Example:

   bash

   /co rollback

🛠️ Server Configuration:

• Server Jar Selection: Before installing plugins like CoreProtect, make sure your server's jar file is compatible. CoreProtect uses Spigot and is also compatible with Paper. Select the desired version of Paper or Spigot in the jar selection section.

• Plugin Installation:

  • Go to the plugins tab on your Multicraft page and search for "CoreProtect."

  • Click on "CoreProtect" and ensure it matches the version of your Spigot jar. You can verify the versions on the CoreProtect website. Then, click "Install."

• Connecting to MySQL:

  • Connect to MySQL from the MySQL tab on your server's Multicraft page.

  • Create a database and note the login information.

  • Go to "Config Files" and find the CoreProtect configuration file (.yml).

  • Enter the MySQL information in the corresponding fields.

Example:

makefile

Host: HostName Database: DatabaseName Username: Username Password: Password

• Save and restart your server.

⚠️ Common Issues:

• If you’re unsure which version to choose for your server, refer to the CoreProtect website for the most up-to-date version.

• If you’re unable to perform rollbacks or execute commands, ensure you use /op to grant operator permissions in the console.

✅ Conclusion:

CoreProtect is an excellent addition to any server, whether for moderation or security purposes. It works well on both small servers with friends and large servers with hundreds of users.
