Choosing Between Client-Side and Server-Side Setup
Console Filter Mod is designed with flexible installation requirements. It functions entirely independently depending on which environment you choose to run it in, giving you control over both client log output and server terminals.
Client-Side Installation
You can install the mod on your personal game client without requiring it on any server you join.
- It monitors your local game client output window and logs.
- It hides clutter from client logs caused by local game events or client-side mod output.
- Since it is not required on the server, you can join vanilla or modded multiplayer servers without compatibility issues.
Dedicated Server Installation
You can place the mod into the mods folder of a dedicated server without forcing connecting players to download it.
- It intercepts and hides repetitive console logs on your server terminal, keeping terminal views clean for administrators.
- Players do not need the mod installed on their game clients to connect to your server.
- You can choose to run it on both the client and server simultaneously, but each installation operates its own independent config file and filtering rules.
