Griefing

Griefing is another way of saying that someone has ruined or broken a structure. On multiplayer servers this can result in being banned and not being allowed back on the server.

10 Types of Griefing

1. Stealing- This is the most basic, it is when you get into someones house and take items out of chests.
2. Smashing-This is when you physically break a structure.
3. Smashing(Chests)- This is when you break a chest and leave the items that were inside to de-spawn.
4. Flooding- This is when you fill a structure with a liquid(lava or water)
5. Encasing- This is when you surround a structure or area of importance with a hard to break substance(obsidian,stone,cobble etc.)
6. Filling- This is the opposite of encasing because instead of surrounding a structure with the substance, you fill it.
7. Filling(items/mobs)- Instead of filling an area with a substance you either spawn many mobs inside or fill with random items(mine carts, boats, items etc.)
8. Replacement- This is when you take out a wall and replace it with something less appealing
9. Burning- This is when you burn a place down with a flint and steel.
10. False Blocks- There are different ways to do this such as putting a fence post under a stair block will make it impassible, or putting ice under half slabs to make people slide and many others.

Some people have even started griefing clans who go around and secretly grief servers for fun, some of these people post videos of griefing, such as- Team Avolition, icanhasgrief, Team Paradox and many more.
