RedstoneDetector

RedstoneDetector

RedstoneDetector is a lightweight and performance-focused redstone monitoring plugin designed to identify extreme redstone activity and potential lag sources without unnecessarily interfering with normal gameplay.

Unlike aggressive redstone protection plugins, RedstoneDetector is designed to distinguish between large farms that are simply complex and redstone systems that are actually generating excessive activity.

✨ Features

Redstone Activity Detection

Detect unusually high redstone activity and identify areas that may contribute to server performance issues.

Supported detection types include:

- Redstone spam
- Redstone clocks
- Pistons
- Observers
- Repeaters
- Comparators
- Hoppers
- High redstone activity

Large Farm Friendly

Large farms should not automatically be treated as lag machines.

RedstoneDetector focuses on activity and sustained redstone updates, rather than simply counting how many redstone components exist in an area.

This allows legitimate farms and large automation systems to operate normally while still helping staff identify genuinely problematic machines.

Staff Alerts

When suspicious activity is detected, authorized staff members can receive detailed information including:

- Player
- World
- Coordinates
- Detection type
- Available actions

Detection Location

Every detection includes the exact location of the suspicious activity, making it easier for staff to investigate the source of the problem.

Performance Focused

RedstoneDetector is designed with server performance in mind.

- Event-driven monitoring
- Loaded chunks only
- No forced chunk loading
- Configurable scan intervals
- Configurable processing limits
- No unnecessary world scanning

The plugin does not force-load chunks simply to search for redstone machines.

️ Monitor-Only Mode

RedstoneDetector supports a monitor-only approach.

The detector does not automatically freeze every redstone machine just because it is large.

Administrators can investigate detections and decide what action should be taken.

Detection History

Previous detections can be stored and reviewed using:

"/lag history"

This makes it easier for staff to identify recurring problem areas.

⚙️ Commands

"/lag scan"
Scan configured worlds for suspicious redstone activity.

"/lag history"
View previous detection records.

"/lag enable"
Enable RedstoneDetector.

"/lag disable"
Disable RedstoneDetector.

"/lag reload"
Reload the plugin configuration.

Permissions

"redstonedetector.staff"
Allows staff members to receive detector alerts and use staff-related features.

Installation

1. Download the latest "RedstoneDetector.jar".
2. Place the ".jar" file into your server's "plugins" folder.
3. Restart your Minecraft server.
4. Open "plugins/RedstoneDetector/config.yml".
5. Adjust the detection thresholds to match your server.
6. Reload the plugin or restart the server.

Compatibility

Designed for modern Java Edition Minecraft servers running supported Paper/Spigot versions.

Always check the tested Minecraft versions listed on this resource before deployment.

⚠️ Important

RedstoneDetector is a monitoring and detection tool, not a replacement for proper server optimization.

Detection thresholds should be configured according to your server hardware, player count, and redstone usage.

A large farm does not necessarily mean a lag machine. For this reason, RedstoneDetector is designed to prioritize unusually high and sustained activity rather than simply detecting large redstone builds.
