How to Deal With a Griefer on Minecraft
How to Deal With a Griefer on Minecraft
Have you ever worked really hard on some great build, or finally completed your secret treasure hoard only to have someone come by and destroy it all or otherwise grief you? Read on to learn how to deal with them.
Steps

Steps

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.

Watch and wait. Another option is to watch your house, wait for the griefer, and either see their username, or take a screenshot of them griefing you.

Alert others. Post in the chat to warn others users of the danger.

Preventing Griefing

Prevent griefing before it happens. We all hate being griefed, it sucks right? So why not work on preventing it?

Don't leave anything important out in the open. 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.

Leave a few traps around. This one is pretty self explanatory. Make sure friendly people know where these traps are though, no sense in slaughtering a friend.

Actively kill griefers. If they know there is good chance they will die, they are a lot less likely to try it.

Be prepared. 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.

Make use of Bukkit. There are plenty of anti-griefing Bukkit plugins out there ranging from region-protection to block logging. Check them out!
