JLine for Dedicated Server
by Fourmisain
JLine for Dedicated Server brings a console with command history, auto completion and syntax highlighting to a Minecraft server's terminal.
What it does
On a dedicated server started with the nogui option, the mod replaces the plain console with an interactive one. Typed commands are highlighted by parameter, colors can be set in a list, and the console offers completion and recalls earlier input. Output from the server log is styled as well, which makes long sessions easier to read. The console also resembles the chat console of a Spigot server.
Only the server needs the mod, since players join without installing anything. Its gameplay impact is described as zero. The mod is published for Fabric alone, with 40 release versions covering 1.16 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Snapshot builds are published as well.
Key features
Command history and completion
Previously entered commands can be recalled, and the console completes command syntax as it is typed.
Syntax highlighting
Command parameters appear in configurable colors, so the order of arguments is visible at a glance.
Styled log output
Server log lines receive highlighting, and on Minecraft 1.17 and later the log4j.skipJansi=false argument is needed for it.
