Block Logger

by XunaBerry

Block Logger lets a player press a key to log the block they are looking at, writing its registry name to a text file.

ForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 Universal1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

A key press records the block under the crosshair. The registry name is appended to a text file, and the key can be changed in the controls menu. The mod is client-side only, so a player can use it alone and a server does not need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source. Reliable Remover and Reliable Replacer are optional companions.

Key features

  1. Log the looked-at block

    Pressing the bound key writes the block in the crosshair to a text file by its registry name.

  2. Configurable key

    The logging key defaults to O and can be rebound in the controls settings.

  3. Plain text output

    Each logged entry is a line in a simple text file, suited to modpack development and block lists.
