OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Extension

by litetex

OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Extension is a Fabric server mod that exports game telemetry to an OpenTelemetry Java agent, for servers that already monitor their infrastructure.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21.4 – 26.3

What it does

Once the mod is loaded on a dedicated server, the OpenTelemetry Java Agent picks up extra game measurements: loaded chunks, overall server state, packets sent and received, and chunk generation. These values are reported as metrics, logs and traces, which OpenTelemetry describes as the de facto industry standard for monitoring data.

The mod sits on the server side only, so players connect without installing anything. Its overall functionality is similar to fabric-exporter. A development setup with a locally running deployment of the full monitoring infrastructure is included in the repository, and a diagram shows how the pieces fit together. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public. spark is an optional dependency that some setups pair with it for profiling.

Configuration is loaded dynamically and sorted by priority, and the full list of options is documented. Defaults are typically ready to use as they are, but the author notes that changes should only be made by someone who knows exactly what the settings do. The mod covers game versions 1.21.4 – 26.3 across 13 release versions, with snapshot builds also published.

Use cases

Server monitoring

Operators running an OpenTelemetry collector can feed game data into their existing dashboards.

Local development

A bundled setup starts the full telemetry infrastructure locally for testing changes.

Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who already run OpenTelemetry-based monitoring. Players who only join a server gain nothing from installing it, since it runs on the server side alone.

Questions

Does OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Extension need to be installed on players' clients?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Which loader does the mod support?

It is published for Fabric only, with the latest file being 2.2.1 for 26.3, released 2026-10-03.

Is spark required?

No. spark is an optional dependency, so the mod runs without it.
