How to Deal With a Griefer on Minecraft

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Contact the admin/mod/op/owner of the server and tell them you have been griefed.

   Most servers do not allow people to report griefing after a certain time. , Another option is to watch your house, wait for the griefer, and either see their username, or take a screenshot of them griefing you. , Post in the chat to warn others users of the danger. , We all hate being griefed, it sucks right? So why not work on preventing it?

   Step 2: Watch and wait.

   If you say leave a chest full of important stuff out in the open, the more like someone is to steal all of it, and to destroy your home. , This one is pretty self explanatory.
   
   Make sure friendly people know where these traps are though, no sense in slaughtering a friend. , If they know there is good chance they will die, they are a lot less likely to try it. , Above all though, know that from time to time someone is going to grief you, so have a secret backup supply stash ready, and move on.
   
   Make sure this secret stash is thousands of blocks away from spawn and use a x-ray proof design.
   
   It should get you back on your feet especially if there are no admins, mods, or owners around. , There are plenty of anti-griefing Bukkit plugins out there ranging from region-protection to block logging.
