Common questions
What does InventoryRollbackPlus do?
Backs up player inventories and related state so staff can inspect and restore earlier snapshots after deaths or losses.
Is InventoryRollbackPlus a plugin or a mod?
InventoryRollbackPlus is listed here as a server plugin. Use the official download page to choose the correct build for your supported server platform and Minecraft version.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
For a supported Bukkit/Paper release, download the correct official plugin JAR, place it in the server plugins/ directory and fully restart; follow project-specific instructions for other platforms. Before enabling broad logging, select a retention policy and storage location and make sure staff permissions do not expose player inventories to untrusted users.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Check the startup console and logs/latest.log, then confirm the plugin loaded on its supported server platform. Next verify an actual feature rather than relying only on the plugin list: Create a deliberate test change to one player inventory, inspect a new snapshot as a staff account, restore it to the intended player and verify the result after reconnecting.
What if it does not load?
If the plugin failed at startup, inspect the first relevant log error for a missing dependency, incompatible Java/server version or wrong artifact. If it loaded but its feature fails: If a restore is incomplete, inspect the stored snapshot timestamp, world/player identity and inventory versus ender-chest scope. Never restore the first snapshot you find on a live player.
