Miner Track Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if the plugin is actually working on my server?
Run `/mtrack verbose` to turn on detailed alerts—you'll see a message in chat every time a player's warning level changes. You can also use `/mtrack check ` to view any player's current warning history and see if the plugin is tracking their mining.
What counts as suspicious mining behavior?
The plugin flags players who mine in straight lines toward rare ores, find valuable blocks at an unusually fast rate, or dig through stone in ways that don't match natural cave exploration. Normal caving and branch mining won't trigger false positives.
Can I undo a punishment if I kicked someone by mistake?
Use `/mtrack reset ` to clear their warning record, which will remove the automatic punishment flag. However, you'll need to manually re-invite them to the server if they were kicked—the plugin doesn't handle unbans.
How long does it take for the plugin to catch an X-ray cheater?
The plugin builds a warning level over time as it detects suspicious patterns, so it depends on how obvious the cheating is. Blatant X-ray use will accumulate warnings faster than subtle ore-hunting, but there's no fixed timer.
Does this plugin cause server lag?
No—the plugin analyzes mining paths and speed without hiding blocks or slowing down block updates, so it runs in the background without impacting server performance.
What should I do if a legitimate player keeps getting flagged?
Check their mining history with `/mtrack check ` to confirm the behavior is actually innocent, then use `/mtrack reset ` to clear their warnings. The plugin learns over time, so false positives should decrease as it sees their normal mining pattern.
How do I set up alerts so staff know when someone is cheating?
Use `/mtrack notify ` to send a custom alert to staff, or enable `/mtrack verbose` to automatically notify staff every time a player's warning level increases. You can combine both for real-time monitoring.
Can I see what the plugin logged after I reload it?
Yes—use `/mtrack logs ` to read the plugin's saved records of detected behavior and punishments. After reloading settings with `/mtrack reload`, the logs will still contain all previous data.
What happens if a cheater stops using X-ray and mines normally?
The plugin automatically lowers their warning level over time as they mine legitimately, so they won't stay flagged forever. You can also manually clear their record with `/mtrack reset ` if you want to give them a fresh start.
Does the plugin work with other anti-cheat mods?
The plugin is designed to focus specifically on mining behavior and ore-finding patterns, so it complements general anti-cheat systems rather than conflicting with them. Run both together for layered protection without performance issues.
