Log Scope
Log Scope lets players read the game log from the title screen, with live updates and color-coded messages, without starting a world.
What it does
Log Scope is a Fabric utility for version 1.20.1 that adds a log viewer to the title screen. A single click opens the log window, and new log lines appear as the game writes them, so the viewer keeps up with the game during startup. Messages are colored by level, with info, warning and error lines distinguishable at a glance, and the window scrolls smoothly through older entries.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and no server install is involved. It requires Fabric API. Log Scope is not open source; it is distributed under a custom license, and its public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project page. The latest Fabric file is 2.0.2 for 1.20.1, published 2024-11-15, after the first release on 2024-11-09.
Key features
Title screen log window
The log viewer opens directly from the title screen, so the game log can be read before a world loads.
Live log monitoring
New log lines are added automatically while the window is open, without reopening it or restarting the game.
Color-coded messages
Info, warning and error lines are shown in different colors to make problems easier to spot.
Scrollable navigation
The log window scrolls smoothly through earlier entries, with one click to toggle it on or off.

Watching mod loading
Modpack users can follow warnings and load messages as mods start, without digging through files.
Who it’s for: Players and modpack users who need to read the game log on the title screen. Players who only want the log after a world loads will not need this mod.
How it compares
FPS View is a Fabric client mod for 1.20.1 with an All rights reserved license and no open source code, so it covers a different function from Log Scope. Simple Title is a Fabric client mod for 1.16.5 – 1.17.1, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source, which makes it an older-version option. Log Scope targets 1.20.1 only.
