[Proved] How to Check Who Placed A Block in Minecraft Beginner’s Guide

(Last Updated On: May 4, 2023)

Peaceful players see Minecraft as a place where they can express their creativity and have fun with their friends. However, some griefers prefer to add a bit of drama to their gameplay. Griefers irritate people by destroying or significantly altering their structures.

It can be aggravating to discover that your work has been ruined or rearranged. If you’re playing on your own server, you can find out who exactly placed or removed a block in Minecraft.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to see who made changes to your Minecraft construction and answer some of the most frequently asked questions about it.

Can You Find Out Who Put a Block in Minecraft?

In the Minecraft base game, there is no way to find out who placed a block. Third-party plugins, on the other hand, can track all changes made on your server. CoreProtect is a well-known block logging application. Here’s how to use the Minecraft Server Manager to install it:

1. Log in to the Minecraft Server Manager page.
2. Go to the “Plugins” tab, then type “CoreProtect” and press the “Enter” key.
3. On the CoreProtect page, click “Install.”
4. After installing the plugin, restart your server from the Minecraft Server Manager main page.

If you do not have the Minecraft Server Manager, follow these steps to install the plugin:

1. On your computer, install the CoreProtect plugin.
2. Place the CoreProtect.jar file in the “plugins” folder of your Minecraft server.
3. Force your server to restart.

After installing the plugin, you can begin tracking who made changes to your server. To do so, start your server and open the command input box. Enter “/core inspect” or “/co i.” Then, in Minecraft, use the following controls to see who has placed or removed a block:

• Left-click a block to see who put it there.
• Right-click a block to see which blocks were removed.
• Right-click a door, button, or lever to see who used it last.
• Right-click an empty spot to see which blocks were recently removed and by whom.

You could also use the LogBlock plugin. It does not allow you to see who placed a specific block, but it does provide information on all blocks placed by a particular player. Here’s how to do it:

1. Put the plugin on your device.
2. Place the LogBlock.jar file in the “plugins” folder of your Minecraft server.
3. Start your server, open the command prompt, and type “stop” to bring it to a complete halt.
4. Restart the server.

After installing the plugin, you can see who made changes to your server by entering the following commands into the command input box:

• “/lb sum p since 1d” – displays a list of all players on the server as well as the blocks they’ve changed in the last 24 hours.
• “/lb player name> sum blocks” – displays all blocks changed by a specific player.

How Can I Find Out Who Placed a Block in Minecraft WorldEdit?

Minecraft WorldEdit simplifies the construction of large-scale structures and allows you to copy and paste massive structures between worlds. The problem is that it also allows griefers to do massive damage with less effort. Fortunately, WorldEdit works with Bukkit block logging plugins like CoreProtect. Here’s how you do it on your server:

1. Save the CoreProtect.jar file to your computer.
2. Drag and drop the CoreProtect.jar file into the “plugins” folder of your Minecraft server.
3. Force your server to restart.

After restarting the server, launch it and bring up the command input box. To launch the inspector, enter “/co inspect.” Then, to see who added or removed blocks from your server, run the following commands:

• Left-click a block to see who put it there.
• Right-click a block to see when a neighboring block was removed.
• Right-click a door, button, or lever to see who used it last.
• Right-click an empty spot to see which blocks were recently removed and by whom.
• To search for specific changes, enter “/co lookup” followed by the necessary parameters into the command input box. You can, for example, specify the player’s name, time, location, and action.

How to Check the Number of Blocks You Placed in Minecraft

It’s sometimes fascinating to see how many blocks make up a massive structure. Plugins like LogBlock allow you to see how many blocks you or others have placed in Minecraft. Here’s how you do it on your server:

1. Get the LogBlock.jar file.
2. Place the LogBlock.jar file in your Minecraft server’s “plugins” folder.
3. Start your server. Then, bring up the command input box and type “stop” to bring it completely to a halt.
4. Restart the server, and the plugin should now function properly.

The following commands can be used to determine how many blocks a user has placed:

• “/lb sum p since 1d” – displays a list of all players on the server as well as the blocks they’ve changed in the last 24 hours.
• “/lb player name> sum blocks” – displays all blocks changed by a specific player. To see how many blocks you’ve placed, enter your username.

Safeguard Your Server

Now that you know how to track changes on your Minecraft server, you can go after griefers and undo their changes. Aside from that, block logging plugins like LogBlock and CoreProtect can provide you with valuable insights into your work. Keep an eye on your server!
