How to use the inspector

Once you have the inspector enabled with /core inspect or /co i, you can do the following:

  • Left-click a block to see who placed that block.
  • Right-click a block to see what adjacent block was removed.
  • Right-click while placing a block in a location to see what block was removed at that location.
  • Right-click while placing a block in another block to see who placed it. For example, place dirt in water to see who placed the water.
  • Right-click a door, button, lever, container, or similar block to see who last used it.

A Few Reviews

  • "It's easy to use and lightning fast when it comes to rollbacks."
  • "I've been running a MC server since before Bukkit, so I've used just about every block logger out there. CoreProtect is the best and the fastest."
  • "Go with CoreProtect. It's fast, updated frequently, and logs WorldEdit."
  • "Overall it felt more natural, simpler, and much faster to use CoreProtect than Prism, which just doesn't compare."
  • "CoreProtect brings complex logging and rollbacks, whilst at the same time keeping a low profile."
  • Featured on Linus Tech Tips.
