by alanjmrt94

Console Filter Next keeps the game log readable by hiding or showing lines that match text, regex, log level, thread or logger name.

What it does

Console Filter Next filters the messages written to the console and to latest.log. Filters can blacklist, hiding matches, or whitelist, showing only matches, and each filter can match plain text, a regular expression, a log level, a thread name or a logger or source mod id. Optional ignoreCase makes matching case-insensitive, and skipMessagesWithStackTrace keeps lines that carry exceptions or stack traces visible even when another filter would hide them. The filters can also be applied to other Log4j file appenders, which suits debugging modpacks and dedicated servers where the log is crowded with noise.

Filters are edited in game through an editor on Forge and NeoForge, under the Mods Config screen, and through Fabric Mod Menu on Fabric. Settings are stored in a TOML profile, the lists can be paginated, regex patterns are validated, and presets can be imported and exported. Commands at operator level 2 cover status, reload, listing, export, import and profile switching, and the status output reports per-filter-type hit counts. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Legacy Fabric, 1.8.9 – 26.3, with Fabric files for 26.3, Forge for 26.2, NeoForge for 26.3 and Legacy Fabric for 1.12.2.

Key features

  1. Blacklist and whitelist filters

    A blacklist hides lines that match a filter, while a whitelist shows only the matching lines.

  2. Text, regex and metadata matching

    Filters can match plain text, a regular expression, a log level, a thread name or a logger or source mod id.

  3. Stack trace protection

    The skipMessagesWithStackTrace option keeps lines with exceptions and stack traces visible, even when other filters apply.

  4. In-game filter editor

    Paginated lists, regex validation, presets and profile import and export are available in a screen inside the game.
