CoreProtect: Plugin Guide for Minecraft Servers

Description:

CoreProtect is a plugin designed for server inspection, with the purpose of knowing user actions on your Minecraft server. This plugin is primarily used for inspecting possible acts of vandalism, but it has a wide range of uses. It allows you to see user actions in detail, either through manual inspection or specific commands. You can get information down to the exact second a user performed an action. Some of the key commands include /co lookup to search for specific user actions and /co rollback to revert changes if necessary.

Basic Usage:

1. Action Search: Enter Inspector mode by typing /co i. From 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, removing blocks, and chat logs.

```

Example: /co lookup u:name

```

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

```

Example: /coreprotect restore

Example: /co purge

```

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

```

Example: /co near

```

4. Reverting Changes: In case of vandalism, you can revert changes

using /co rollback.

```

Example: /co rollback

```

Server Configuration:

1. Server Jar Selection: Before installing plugins like CoreProtect, make sure your server jar file is on a compatible version. CoreProtect uses Spigot and is also compatible with Paper. Select the Paper or Spigot version you want in the jar selection section.

2. Plugin Installation:

- Go to the plugins tab on the Multicraft page and search for "coreprotect".

- Click on "coreprotect" and make sure it matches the Spigot jar version. You can check versions on the CoreProtect website. Then, click "install".

3. MySQL Connection:

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

- Create a database and take note of the login information.

- Go to "configure files" and search for the CoreProtect configuration file (.yml).

- Enter the MySQL information in the corresponding fields.

```

Example:

Host: Host

Database: Database

Username: Username

Password: Password

```

- Save and restart your server.

Common Issues:

- If you're not sure which version to choose for your server, check the CoreProtect website for the most up-to-date version.

- If you can't perform rollbacks or process commands, make sure to use /op to grant operator permissions in the console.

Conclusion:

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