# FAQ

> CoreProtect, Folia, Lands, rewind, unknown, storage, and Bukkit /reload.

## Does this replace CoreProtect?

**No.** CoreProtect (or Prism / Ledger) owns who touched the block and rollback. CauseChain owns `/why` on chains it captured. Empty inspect says to use `/co i`. Keep both.

## Is inspect `/co i`?

**No.** `/why inspect` and `/why here` only show **captured causal chains** (death, deny, TNT, fire, WorldEdit, …) at that location. They do not look up who placed the block. If there is no chain, chat names the land when it can and tells you to run CoreProtect `/co i`.

## Platforms

### Does CauseChain support Folia?

Scheduler support is real: region, entity, global, and async schedulers, with `folia-supported: true`. There is **no published Folia stress run**. Smoke TNT plus death on your Folia jar before you treat it as production-proven. That is not a claim for every Folia fork or untested future build.

### Java and Paper versions?

Java **21+**. Paper API `1.21`. Paper **26.x** servers typically need **Java 25+** at runtime.

## Protection plugins

### Does it name Lands?

**No.** Lands (and other protection plugins without an adapter) are not named. WorldGuard and GriefPrevention are. If the platform exposes `getCancelledBy`, that plugin name can appear; otherwise the denier stays unidentified rather than guessed.

### Two plugins both deny?

Both are listed. CauseChain does not pick a winner.

## Features

### Is there rewind / rollback?

**No.** `/rewind` is not implemented. `remediation.enabled: true` logs a warning and is ignored. Use CoreProtect (or your logger) for rollback. CauseChain does not guess reversible mutations.

### Why does `/why` say unknown?

Unknown is a valid answer. Summoned TNT, void, and some fire/redstone have no recorded parent. CauseChain will not invent one. Inferred edges are labeled; correlation is not proof.

### Will it log every successful place and break?

**No.** That is what a block logger is for. CauseChain captures deaths, denials, explosions, projectiles, fire, falling blocks, and WorldEdit operations you enable in `capture.*`.

## Storage

### How large can the database get?

`retention.max-database-size-mb` (default 2048) and `retention.days` (default 14). If both limits are hit, **size wins**: oldest complete traces are purged first. `/cc status` shows size.

### Is there a cloud or remote upload?

**No.** Traces stay on disk. `privacy.telemetry` must stay `false` (reload rejects `true`). bStats plugin [33693](https://bstats.org/plugin/bukkit/CauseChain/33693) is anonymous server counts only; opt out with `privacy.bstats: false`.

## Operations

### Can I Bukkit `/reload`?

**No.** Do not use Bukkit `/reload`. Use `/cc reload` for safe config keys, or a full restart (especially on Folia).

### Where is the download?

Download `CauseChain-1.0.0.jar` from [Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/causechain-you-died-type-why-get-the-chain.138395/). The [Modrinth project](https://modrinth.com/plugin/causechain) exists and may still be under review.
