BlockLogging?

I don't really know where to start with is besides

Code:java

 onBlockPlace and onBlockBreak Events

Does anyone know how to do it?

 

hello xxCoderForLifexx,
use the BlockPlayerEvent to log placed block in a config a db or something else and the BlockBreakEvent to log breaked blocks.
btw: use the EventPriority Monitor to get the final event state

if you need any help fell free to pm me ;3

 

Wow thanks this helps me understand it a lot more

 

Make your plugin generate a config file first. Then onBlockPlace(BlockPlaceEvent Event) have it log the block into the config file
If you need some help just msg me.

 

be more specific if you need a more specific answer...

 

Don't use a config for logging. Just create yourself a Logger object and add a FileHandler

 

While doing things like this the best way of storing data is some database, SQLite for example.

 

Learning how to use MySQL can be a bit difficult for people who are new to them or don't understand how to use them, but they are definitely worth learning in cases like these where you will be logging very large amounts of data.

 

Zachoooo, you're right. However using SQLite/MySQL with some class like this one is really simple and efficient! I am using it myself in about 20 projects and works perfect. If you need any help feel free to ask xxCoderForLifexx.

 

Most noobs to sql don't even understand query structure, but that would definitely make the actually coding much easier

 

I have no idea how to use SQl Anyway

But you can learn! Its better to learn the right way to do things than be trying to find less efficient work arounds am I right?

 

All these SQL are like... like talking with database. You just say what to do, these queries are simple. Using SQLite gives you warranty that saved data won't be fuc... broken (there is always some possibility but... almost impossible). As begin I think you should know a bit about SQLite, it is easy, MySQL too, but SQLite is easier. Well, both are similar.

 

Don't fall back to SQL unless you really, really need it. xxCoderForLifexx What is the reason of the logging?
