LightAntiGrief is a solution that helps prevent large-scale violations such as theft or griefing from players. It will be useful on servers with a focus on vanilla survival, where plugins like WorldGuard are not used to protect the territory.
LightAntiGrief depends on CoreProtect, so for it to work correctly you need to install it.
Theory
Most violations occur from players with little online time who either do not know the rules or deliberately break the rules, so the plugin is aimed specifically at this group of players.
Also, different players play in different time zones, which can lead to cases where moderators are not online, so the plugin automatically blocks violators who engage in questionable activities. This may be due to the use of triggers that reduce the chance of false positives.
The plugin notifies moderators on the network and the console about the violator, the type of violation and the location of the violation, so that moderators will be notified of violations, and administrators will be able to see special actions (like putItem which triggers when player put items on storage entity) in the logs.

| explode | 4 | Number of positives before blocking (If there are no moderators) |
| triggerRandomBonus | true | Responsible for adding a random additional number of triggers |
