Optimizations - bloodmc/GriefDefender GitHub Wiki
GriefDefender provides built-in control for nearly every action in your minecraft world. However, attempting to control too much can sometimes cause resource issues depending on your server load. The solution to this issue is to make use of built-in optimization configuration found in global.conf and by learning how to use blacklists.
Below is a snippet of the optimization settings you can find in GD's global.conf
Global Optimization Config
optimization {
# Whether to process player claim tool actions async for performance. (Default: true)
# Note: If you encounter any async thread issues, disable this setting.
async-claim-tool-actions=true
# Whether to process player claim visuals async for performance. (Default: true)
# Note: If you encounter any async thread issues, disable this setting.
async-player-claim-visuals=true
# Controls whether to ignore item drops from block sources.
# Note: This is only triggered when a player breaks a block.
block-item-drops=true
# Controls the amount of time, in seconds, for the permission cache of all entity damage actions in world. If the cache is accessed before expiration then the time is reset.
# Note: Setting this too high may result in wrong entity damage permission results.
cache-entity-damage-expiration=5
# Controls the amount of time, in seconds, for the permission lookup cache of all actions in world. If the cache is accessed before expiration then the time is reset.
# Note: This cache will occur after special caches such as entity damage, explosions, and physics.
# Note: Setting this too high may result in players not seeing proper results with their actions.
cache-permission-lookup-expiration=3
# Controls the amount of time, in seconds, for the permission cache of all block physic changes in world. If the cache is accessed before expiration then the time is reset.
# Note: Blocks such as redstone will usually cache longer due to the repeated calls made.
# Note: Setting this too high may result in players not being tracked properly during block changes.
cache-physics-tracking-expiration=5
# Controls whether dispener item spawns are ignored.
dispenser-item-spawns=true
# Controls whether entity damage events that contain both a source/target living passive entity, such as two animals fighting, are ignored.
entity-damage-living-passive=true
# Controls whether entity damage events that contain both a source/target monster are ignored.
entity-damage-monster=true
# Controls whether entity damage source or block that target a living passive are ignored.
entity-damage-source-living-passive=true
# Controls whether entity damage source or block that target a monster are ignored.
entity-damage-source-monster=true
# Controls whether entity item pickups made by non-players are ignored.
entity-item-pickup-non-player=true
# Controls whether non-player falls are ignored.
fall-non-player=true
# Controls whether monster attacks against a player are ignored.
# Note: This does not include explosion damage.
# Note: If you need to prevent damage from monsters in claims then this should remain false.
monster-player-damage=false
# Controls whether player attacks against a monster are ignored.
# Note: This does not include explosion damage.
player-monster-damage=true
# Controls whether ambient spawns, such as bats, are ignored in wilderness.
# Note: If you want to control aquatic spawns in wilderness, set this to false.
wilderness-ambient-spawns=true
# Controls whether animal spawns, such as pigs, are ignored in wilderness.
# Note: If you want to control animal spawns in wilderness, set this to false.
wilderness-animal-spawns=true
# Controls whether aquatic spawns, such as squids, are ignored in wilderness.
# Note: If you want to control aquatic spawns in wilderness, set this to false.
wilderness-aquatic-spawns=true
# Controls whether monster spawns, such as creepers, are ignored in wilderness.
# Note: If you want to control monster spawns in wilderness, set this to false.
wilderness-monster-spawns=true
# Controls whether experience orbs are ignored when dropped.
xp-orb-drop=true

Dino's Known Issues
- Water can grief claims from outside going in of region claims (removing water from the liquid flow blacklist flag will prevent that but keep in mind that active water flow has a big performance impact)
- Players can activate wooden pressure plates by dropping an item on them
- Players can shear other peoples sheep
- Players can leash entities in other people claims (mostly an issue if you use a plugin that leases villagers and other entities that is not possible with vanilla minecraft)
- Creepers can kill entities in claims
- Players can interact with item frames only when they interact with an item in hand (spin around the items)
