The result of this can be server lag, which usually makes chat spam more of an annoyance than vandalism. Also, admins can use fill commands to remove any inappropriate structures from griefers.Ĭhat spam is simply typing and sending large amounts of messages in chat, often randomly. Banning offensive players is a good way to discourage griefing. Sand and gravel can be removed quite quickly using torches.

If you have chosen to use Bukkit, logging and rollback plugins can once again completely undo the damage done by griefers. Lava casts are also a problem (see Lava/Water Flooding below). Sometimes players even surround other players' structures with obsidian, bedrock, and sand or gravel which are annoying due to their falling properties. Also, cages around players that are AFK are built, often of materials unable to mine with tools obtained early on, like obsidian. Nearly as frequently as simple destruction of servers, griefers also often attempt to create nude or offensive pixel art. Other than that, frequently backing up your world and banning or kicking griefers is about all you can do. Kill you are using Bedrock Edition, you can change the gamerule tntexplodes to false. You can use the following commands, either in a repeating command block, or a function to prevent TNT from being used. Restricting TNT will render cannons worthless. Logging and rollback plugins can completely undo the damage done by individual griefers. This can be avoided with block and chunk protection plugins if you are using Bukkit.

End crystals are also effective, but more expensive and less practical to place. A fast, and potentially more effective, method (if the server allows it) is spawning withers. When it comes to destroying houses, griefers will often steal the player's most valuable items before destroying the house.

A more time-consuming and generally expensive method of griefing is the creation of TNT cannons to bombard other players' creations from a safe distance. Many hacked clients have these as built in features. This can include Creative 'nuking', where users instantly mine all blocks within reach, and 'torch nuking' when the griefer destroys only torches. Most griefers' goals are to destroy as much land, buildings and creations as they can in order to make the server as unusable as possible.
