CoreProtect logs block changes, container access, item movement, kills, chat, and commands on your server. This article covers what events are tracked and how to look them up. For installation and basic commands, see the main CoreProtect article.

Action Types

CoreProtect tracks these action types in its database:

killEntity killed/co lookup action:kill radius:10
clickBlock clicked/interacted/co lookup action:click

User Types

Events are attributed to different user types depending on the source:

UserDescriptionExample Lookup
<player>A player’s username/co lookup user:Steve
#<entity>An entity (e.g., #creeper)/co lookup user:#creeper
#fireFire spread/co lookup user:#fire time:1h
#lightningLightning strike/co lookup user:#lightning
#lavaLava flow/co lookup user:#lava radius:10
#waterWater flow/co lookup user:#water
#hopperHopper item movement/co lookup user:#hopper radius:3
#tntTNT explosion/co lookup user:#tnt time:30m

Lookup Syntax

The general syntax for looking up events:

/co lookup [user:<name>] [action:<type>] [radius:<blocks>] [time:<duration>]

You can combine any of these parameters. A few practical examples:

  • Who broke blocks nearby in the last hour? /co lookup action:-block radius:5 time:1h

  • What did a specific player do? /co lookup user:Steve time:1d

  • What happened to items in a chest? Stand next to the chest and run: /co lookup action:container radius:1 time:1d

  • Who killed entities in this area? /co lookup action:kill radius:10 time:6h

Time values use s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours), d (days), and w (weeks). You can combine them: 1d12h means one and a half days.
