Frequently Asked Questions
You can disable any logging message by including its type into Log.Exceptions list in settings.yml, here:
Log:
Exceptions:
- transactionTo view all possible values, run "/c log stats all".
You can disable or toggle individual items that will be confiscated by either removing them completely from a section, or just inserting # in front. You can add new items to these lists as well.
If someone uses a glitch (pistons, ...) to duplicate diamond blocks, how we find that out and take the items?
When the player collects so their items to a chest, or quits and joins again, we will scan his inventory. Let's say a player that duplicates items will have over 10 stacks of Diamond Blocks in his inventory. Confiscate can set up a maximum limit of items stored per inventory, whether it's a player inventory of a chest. If the player has more items then the limit, the items above are moved into a special room and he will be logged. That way, you can track him down and identify who has obtained the items (and also where, since location is tracked as well).
Confiscate can reveal staff that is giving away items for free. Imagine one of your administrators switches to creative mode and gives away tons of free items to players. Confiscate monitors players' inventories and chests, and will take the items away so they are not misused. Also, we will create a log informing about what happened, and where it happened.
Unbalanced or poor economy usually causes some players to gain extremely high amount of luxury items, for example diamond blocks or others, or other players selling them at extremely low price. There are two approaches for improving your economy:
a) Confiscate may limit how much of these blocks player can have, and if they have over limit, it will be taken and placed into the chest room. You can review the chest room on regular basis and see which players are having so many items, track it down to your economy or their chests in their shops and see if the prices are too low or too high. There are no limits to its usage.
b) Transactions from known shop plugins (such as SignShop or ChestShop) are logged and you may review them later. See Compatibility section for full list of supported plugins.
There are two features that help lower the x-rayers' success. Firstly we limit the amount of items per container, for example you can specify how many diamonds the player may have in their inventory, chest, furnace or other containers. X-rayers usually gain massive amounts of those luxury items and can be revealed if they exceed the limit.
The second feature is aimed at newcomers. Those are players that played on your server below the threshold of time that you specify in settings. Just as per the first feature, also here you can set up the limits per blocks in a container, but only for the newcomers. X-rayers usually use their hacks right from the start, and so you can have much stricter limits to reveal those players much faster.
