## Why was Honeypot created?
\nHoneypot is a customizable anti-grief plugin which allows any placeable block to be used as a trap for players looking to grief. It can be used to catch Xray-ers, deter griefers from breaking unprotected builds, and more.
\nHoneypot plugins were popularized back in the early days of Minecraft servers but never really took off due to their lack of customization, updates, or difficulty to configure, setup, and\/or maintain. This plugin was designed to be simple, lightweight, and easy to use for staff and admins.<\/p>\n

## Developers
\nIf you are looking to develop using the Honeypot API, please see the Developer docs!<\/p>\n

## Credits \ud83c\udfac
\nBig thanks to dejvokep for their BoostedYAML library, and the Spigot community for all their tips and tricks!<\/p>\n

## Note \ud83d\udcd2
\nHoneypot Anti-Grief Solution is not designed to replace plugins such as Lands, WorldGuard, GriefPrevention, CoreProtect, etc. Please make sure you have another protection and rollback plugin to prevent mass griefing. Honeypot is just meant to keep honest people honest and to catch bad actors without moderators having to constantly monitor players. I highly recommend CoreProtect and GriefPrevention, but if you have the money to spend, Lands is an awesome plugin as well.<\/p>\n

This plugin was also designed for Minecraft 1.18+ and is compiled using Java 17. If you are not running Java 17 on your server, this plugin is not for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
