Line 1: [[File:JukeAlertCheatsheet.png\|thumb\|350px\| A summary of snitch mechanics on [[CivClassic]]. "JukeAlert" refers to the name of the snitch plugin.]] {{Mechanics series}} A '''snitch''' is a block commonly included in ~~civ~~[[Civ]] servers which records nearby player movement or actions. Snitches provide different abilities based on their ~~variant~~type. Some can send a message to a [[NameLayer\|NameLayer group]] when it detects player movement, allowing for real-time tracking of players. Other snitches can log nearby actions and can be examined after the fact to determine a recounting of events, even if nobody was present at the time. Snitches are frequently placed in high-traffic areas to provide real-time insight into player movement, and in high-value areas so that any attacks can be traced back to a particular player or group. ~~Historically,~~Civ servers generally use [[Citadel\|reinforced]] noteblocks and jukeboxes ~~have been used~~ as snitch blocks, with each providing different capabilities. First introduced by [[Civcraft]], snitches have been included in every [[mainline]] civ server since.

The format of this message ~~can~~varies ~~vary depending on the~~by server, but itis generally ~~has the form~~ <code><player name> entered snitch at <snitch name> [world <x>,<y>,<z>]</code>. Snitches that track movement will also track if a player logs in or logs out within their radius. This sends a message in the same way player movement does. Line 147 ⟶ 136: === Breaking === When a player breaks a snitch that is not theirs, it will print the name of the group they are reinforced to, along with the primary owner of the group. This ~~was~~provides ~~added~~players toa ~~allow~~clue ~~players~~as to ~~determine~~ who had placed ~~snitches~~the onsnitch, ~~their~~which ~~land~~might otherwise be very difficult to determine. This mechanic was first introduced in [[CivClassic]] and is present in every proceeding [[mainline]] server. == Logs == Line 186 ⟶ 175: == Redstone Interaction == Snitches with the ability to emit redstone can be be configured to emit a redstone pulse when it records a specific action. This behavior must first be enabled for a specific snitch with <code>/~~jaToggleLevers~~jatogglelevers</code> (<code>/~~jaToggleLevers~~jatogglelevers 1</code> to enable, and <code>/~~jaToggleLevers~~jatogglelevers 0</code> to disable). Then, place a lever on one of the four cardinal ~~directions~~faces of the snitch block — i.e., ~~not~~anywhere ~~the~~but top or bottom. The ~~cardinal direction~~face the lever is placed on changes the ~~recorded~~ action which will cause the snitch to emit a redstone pulse. {\|class="wikitable" \|+ !\| ~~Direction~~Snitch face !\| Trigger \|-
