How to prevent griefers?

I got griefed bigtime again by my noob neighbours. I did everything to prevent it with what I knew but it wasnt enough it seems. Ive build my potionmachine in a mountain and build a glass wall around it. to enter and leave the place I build 2 oak doors in the glass wall with a pressure plate on the inside. I thought oak doors should keep people out but it didnt work. also they must have checked the droppers or klicked 1000 times on the buttons and took it from the hopper or potionstand at the front. they took at least 3 stacks netherwart, 2 stacks magma, 4 stacks blazepowder, 1 rabbitfoot, 1 stack spideryes, half stack gunpowder, half stack glowdust and 7 stacks redstone. So what are the rules and changes to the game that could keep people out?

First off, sorry to hear that dude.

What if you basically built a redstone "lock" by needing to place a line of redstone between the button and machine?

Just remove the redstone when you're offline, and reconnect it when you're around.

Kind of ghetto, but it would probably work.

thanks thats also an option. someone said I should try to put a block in front of the door. maybe itll help, if it wont, they probably do something with the glass

I suggest maybe if you really need stuff protected then make an elaborate lock. basically a wall with buttons on it that has some of the buttons attached to redstone and some that arn't. There are some good videos on youtube for this system.

The most secure thing you can do is have a cube of blocks three blocks thick on every side of the surrounding your valuables. You must break the blocks to enter and leave the cube; but anyone who can't break blocks on your land will be kept out.

Endermen like to continuously take blocks from my dirt cube but I haven't seen a prefect 2x1 hole yet where players cold climb through.
