Blocktrace

BlockTrace

BlockTrace is a powerful block logging and rollback mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 designed to help server administrators and players monitor world changes and restore damage caused by griefing, explosions, or accidents.

The mod records important world events such as block placement, block breaking, container interactions, explosions, and fluid placement. With its inspection system and GUI tools, you can quickly identify who modified a block, when it happened, and what changes were made.
