A small plugin to clear the server log from in-game, w/o need to restart the server (/logclear)

• Anti-Creeper

This plugin allows for preventing / controling explosion.

# Enable TNT explosion as follows (note that tnt chain are allowed by default)

• DynMap
• AntiBotUltra
  • Edit plugins/AntiBotUltra/config.yml to change the white list message (use § for colors)
• AntiCheat
  • X-Ray Detective (analyse mining behavior through statistical analysis)

  Problem with these statistical tool is that they only detect after damage is done (all diamonds have been removed), and that they require administration effort.

  • Anti X-Ray (commands /antixray)

  Nice analysis of pro and con of other anti-X-ray tools (statistical, obfuscator), and how to detect xraying users.

  • X-Ray informer (commands /xcheck)
  • X-Ray Catcher (inactive, based on pattern analysis)
  • Rate of X-Ray (statistical, command /rx)

essentials.signs.kit.use

Maintenance

• Clear server log

Use LogManager: /logclear

• Clear core-protect db.

On the console, /co purge t:7d (only data older than 24h can be purged from the console)

In game, /co purge t:30d (only data older than 30 days can be purged from in-game)

Multiverse

• Multiverse-Core command reference
• Multiverse-Core world properties

Miscellaneous

• Set world to peaceful (has precedence over server setting below):

/mvmodify set difficulty PEACEFUL

Note, to set the whole server in peaceful, edit Server.properties:

spawn-monsters=false

Import a single player world

• Copy SP world to say ./world_singleplayer
• You need to guess the world environment (usually either NORMAL or FLAT) and if needed the generator used (see doc for more information).

To get the list of available environment:

/mv env

• In the server:

/mv import world_singleplayer NORMAL

Set spawn

/mv set spawn

CraftBukkit Troubleshoot

Essentials / permissions debug

To debug permission issues easily, set plugins/Essentials/config.yml:

# More output to the console.
debug: true

Cannot start the server

• I had issue due to jline, which was parsing my /root/.inputrc file!!!

The solution was simply to remove the binding to dynamic-complete-history in the .inputrc file.
