Log Begone — FAQ

FAQ

Does Log Begone add any commands or game rules? No. There are no commands and no in-game screen - all control is through config/logbegone.json.

Do I need any other mods? No - Log Begone is standalone with no library dependencies.

Do I have to restart after changing the config? Yes. The filter list is read at startup; edit the file, then restart the game or server for the changes to apply.

What is the difference between phrases and regex? phrases entries match if the log line merely contains the text; regex entries are Java regular expressions that must match the entire line (wrap fragments in .* to match anywhere).

Can it silence messages from other mods? Yes. The filter is attached to the root logger and to every logger configuration found at startup, plus the Java utility logging channel and the standard output stream - a matching line is dropped no matter which mod or library printed it.

Are the filtered lines saved anywhere? No. Matching lines are discarded before they are written - they appear neither in the console nor in the log files.

Will it hide errors I actually need? Only if your entries match them. Filters are exact: a line is dropped only when it contains one of your phrases or fully matches one of your regular expressions, so keep entries as specific as possible.

Does it work on servers? Yes - install it on the dedicated server and edit the server's config/logbegone.json; the console and log files are filtered for the whole session.
