Documentation

The configuration file

It's stored in plugins/my-plugin/config.yml.

The block logger

It will log blocks being placed or destroyed and items being taken from or put into containers.

The command's name is blocklog, and it uses the following aliases: blocklogger, inspect.

When used without arguments, it will toggle the inspection status of the player who ran it, and if at least a single argument is provided, the player specified in the first argument will get their inspection status toggled instead.

When the inspection status is enabled, you can left-click blocks to check their history, or right-click them to see the history of the block next to them (on the block face you clicked at). You won't be able to destroy or place blocks, or interact with e.g. doors or trapdoors.

When checking double-chests for items being taken or put in, make sure that you check both blocks since the plugin will save the interactions at only one.

The block log history will be saved in plugins/my-plugin/block-log-book.txt.

You should also check out the storeInMemory option in the config.

The player list command

All players can use it under /players or /list. It will print the amount of online players and their nicknames.

Reloading

You can safely use /myplugin-reload or /reload-myplugin to reload the configuration file while the server is running.

The info command and hello/btw messages

Intuitive concepts, already well-documented within the config file.
