Summary

  • New player-pings config option: every N seconds (default 60, 0 disables, per-world configs supported) each online player's position is stored as a row in co_session with a new ping action (2).
  • /co lookup u:<player> a:ping lists the pings as <player> was online here. with clickable coordinates. a:session now lists only logins and logouts. a:session,ping shows both.
  • Reusing the session table means purge, every storage backend and the existing (user,time) index already work, with no schema change. Each row is about 40–60 bytes, so 15 players online on average comes to roughly 0.5 GB a year in SQLite.
  • The session API (sessionLookup, performSessionLookup) still returns only logins and logouts, so existing callers are unaffected.
  • Session lookups no longer require coreprotect.lookup.block or coreprotect.lookup.click. They only needed those because session actions reuse the block action ids, and a:ping would otherwise have needed click permission.

The tick cost is one loop over online players per second. Database writes go through the normal consumer, off the main thread.

Testing

  • mvn package passes.
  • Local Paper 1.21.10 lab (SQLite, player-pings: 5) with an offline bot that walked 4 blocks every 6 s for 30 s. Result: 1 login row, 5 ping rows following the bot's x position, 1 logout row.
  • Console lookups: a:ping showed only pings, a:session only login and logout, a:session,ping both, and a:-session only the logout.
  • Set player-pings: 0, ran /co reload and reconnected. The new session logged a login and a logout and no pings.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add a "player-pings" option (seconds, default 60, 0 disables). A
repeating task records each online player's position as a session row
with the new ping action, so purge, per-world config, every storage
backend and the existing (user,time) index already handle it. No schema
change is needed.

"/co lookup a:ping" lists the pings. "a:session" now lists only logins
and logouts, and "a:session,ping" lists both. The session API methods
keep returning only logins and logouts. Session lookups no longer
require the block or click lookup permissions, which they only hit
because session actions reuse those ids.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic recording of online players’ locations at a configurable interval, set to 60 seconds by default. Set the interval to 0 to disable recording.
    • Added /co lookup a:ping to view recorded locations, with results showing where a player was online.
    • Added session and position terms as lookup action aliases.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Session lookups now return login and logout records by default and do not require block- or interaction-lookup permissions.

Walkthrough

The change records online player locations at configured intervals. It adds ping action parsing, session lookup filtering, and output for ping results.

Player position ping logging and lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schedule and record player pings
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/model/action/SessionActions.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/config/Config.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/listener/player/PlayerPingListener.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/listener/ListenerHandler.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/services/PluginInitializationService.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/consumer/Queue.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/consumer/process/*, README.md
The listener checks online players at configured intervals and queues location records. The consumer logs each record with the PING session action. The configuration sets the interval, and the README describes the location logging.
Query and display session pings
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/command/parser/ActionParser.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/command/TabHandler.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/database/Lookup*.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/api/SessionLookup.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/command/LookupCommand.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/command/lookup/StandardLookupThread.java, src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/coreprotect/language/*, lang/en.yml
Action parsing accepts ping and position aliases. Session lookup queries limit results to login and logout records where appropriate, and lookup output displays ping locations with the new message.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e97f4

The interval adjustment applies world changes and reloaded settings on the next check, including disabling pings. No actionable merge-blocking issue was identified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c6492

Periodic recording creates persistent movement history that existing session readers can access. The checked permission paths remain restricted, with no demonstrated unauthorized access. Database access policy and some recovery behavior remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new collection can cover every online player in worlds where sampling is enabled, increasing session data from connection locations to periodic movement history. Command readers inherit session access, while direct database-reader exposure depends on privileges not supplied for this review.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The investigated mixed-action path does not demonstrate a block/click permission bypass into non-session records. Although SESSION suppresses those checks, session-plus-block/click selections use the session table; chat, command, and container families retain their own permission checks.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Ordinary ping lookup remains subject to coreprotect.lookup.session. The explicit coreprotect.lookup.near path bypasses individual action checks and is an existing elevated permission path, not a newly introduced session bypass. Persistence continues to exclude blacklisted usernames.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Reusing the existing queue and session batch avoids a second persistence owner, but additional periodic traffic shares failure containment with existing logging. The inspected scheduling state is transient; no durable reservation or new rollback protocol was introduced.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before enabling collection broadly, confirm that existing session and elevated near readers are intended to see movement history, and review database-reader privileges and retention policy. If connection history and movement history require different audiences, consider separate ping authorization. This is a policy-hardening proposal, not an observed authorization defect.

- Around line 57-58: Update the NEXT_PING scheduling logic in PlayerPingListener
so existing player deadlines reflect the current positive interval when a world
or configuration changes it. Track each player’s last ping time and compare
elapsed time against the current interval, or recalculate the deadline when the
interval changes, while preserving the existing disabled-interval behavior.
