Log Cleaner Multi Loader
by noramibu
Log Cleaner Multi Loader is a mod that deletes old log files from the game folder, keeping the newest ones.
What it does
The mod removes log files that have not been accessed for a set number of days, which defaults to 14. Files are kept based on their creation date and most recent access, so a log that is still being read is left alone. Players and server owners can change the number of days, for example to a longer window when debugging, and can turn on a message that reports how many log files were deleted.
Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it, so it works on a client alone, a server alone or both. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the same 2.0.0 build for 26.3 on every loader. Builds cover 1.7.2 – 26.3, and the code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Source code and the issue tracker are public.
Key features
Age-based log deletion
Log files are removed once they pass the configured number of unused days, with a default of 14.
Deletion report
An optional setting sends a chat message reporting how many log files were deleted, and it is off by default.
Access-aware cleanup
Files are judged by creation date and most recent access, so logs still being read are not removed.
Forge and NeoForge support
A fork adds Forge and NeoForge support for older versions, and the latest builds cover the newer releases.

Use cases
Long-running servers
Server owners can keep the logs directory from growing without manual cleanup.
Debugging sessions
Anyone who needs older logs can raise the number of days so that files survive longer.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who keep many game sessions and do not want old log files to pile up in the game folder.
How it compares
Auto Log Remover is also open source under the MIT License and runs for 1.20 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the client or server optional. Entity Cleaner is a different kind of tool: it targets entities, is closed under All rights reserved, and is server required with the client optional, across 1.17 – 26.2.

What the author says
This is fork of Log Cleaner by altrisi, which works fine up-to 1.21.11 for Fabric, but doesn't support Forge & NeoForge. This fork simply adds NeoForge & Forge support for older versions, and updated to latest versions of Minecraft. The best thing is that this mod keeps files not based on creation date, but the most…
