Inspector

A survival-friendly implementation of the ability to view block history via a new item — the magnifying glass.

Every block break, place, container transaction, entity kill, redstone interaction, and explosion is logged to a SQLite database with full player attribution. Right-click any block with the magnifier to open a GUI showing its complete history, including player heads, item icons, and relative timestamps.
