PosTracker 1.0.0

Overview

PosTracker is a lightweight yet powerful plugin that tracks player positions over time. It allows you to store position data in a file or a database, retrieve past locations, and display them in a user-friendly format with clickable coordinates.

Features

• Saves player positions at a configurable interval (in seconds).
• Offers both file-based and MySQL database storage options.
• Displays past positions with pagination and clickable teleport links.
• Supports multiple languages (EN, RU, UK).

Usage Scenario

• Creeper Griefing Detection:
  Imagine a situation where creepers blow up someone’s build. Many plugins don’t log creeper explosions as a direct player action. With PosTracker, you can cross-reference the time and location of the explosion (logged by another plugin) to see which players were present. This way, you can identify potential griefers even if the damage was caused by a mob.
