CoreProtect Guide: Undo Griefing and Logging - Minecraft Wiki

Minecraft Guide • Updated Jan 16, 2026

Grief Protection with CoreProtect

CoreProtect is an indispensable tool that logs every block break, placement, chest transaction, and chat message. It allows admins to "rollback" damage instantly.

How to Inspect Damage

If you find a broken base, enable the inspector:

  1. Run /co i (Inspector toggle).
  2. Click on the air where a block used to be, or click a remaining block.
  3. The chat will tell you Who broke it, When, and What block it was.
  4. Run /co i again to disable it.

The Power of Rollbacks

If a player named "Griefer123" destroyed a base in the last hour, you can undo everything they did in a 50-block radius:

/co rollback u:Griefer123 r:50 t:1h

Parameters Explained:

  • u:[player] - The user to target.
  • r:[radius] - Distance from your location (e.g. 100, or global).
  • t:[time] - How far back to go (e.g. 10m, 5h, 2d).
  • a:[action] - Specific actions like +block or -block.

Restoring Items from Chests

If items were stolen, you can use the lookup to see who took them:

/co lookup u:Thief456 a:-container r:10 t:1h

Database Tip: By default, CoreProtect uses SQLite (one file). For high-traffic servers with millions of logs, we recommend connecting it to a MySQL/MariaDB database to prevent server lag when performing rollbacks.
