SilenceVS
by zsvan
SilenceVS is a Forge server mod that filters repetitive console messages, such as the Valkyrien Skies collision warnings, out of the server log.
What it does
The mod watches the server console and hides log lines that match its filters, so repeated warnings from other mods no longer fill the output. Its default filter targets Valkyrien Skies collision warnings, and additional patterns can be added in a plain text file. Support for custom patterns includes regular expressions, so a filter can match a family of messages instead of one exact line.
Because the filters are read from a text file, the list can be changed while the server runs, and the mod reloads it without a restart. Only the server needs SilenceVS: the mod is server-required and client-optional, so a client that installs it gains nothing extra. The project is published for Forge 1.20.1 only, under the MIT License, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public on the author's page.
Key features
Console log filtering
Lines that match a filter are removed from the server console, leaving the messages that matter easier to read.
Text file filter list
Filters are kept in a simple text file that the server owner edits to add or remove patterns.
Regex patterns
Custom patterns can use regular expressions, so one filter can cover many similar log messages.
Hot reload
Changes to the filter file take effect without restarting the server, so tuning does not interrupt play.
Default Valkyrien Skies filter
A built-in filter targets the collision warnings that Valkyrien Skies writes repeatedly to the console.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Forge 1.20.1 and want a quieter console. Players who only join a server do not need the mod.
How it compares
Log Filter for Forge 1.20.1 is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and it runs on the client and server together rather than on the server alone. Screwlog is for Forge 1.19.1 – 1.20.5, is not open source, and is released under All rights reserved, with either side able to run it. Your Log Saw Something Last Night targets Forge and NeoForge at 1.20.1 and is server-side only under the MIT License, the same environment as SilenceVS.
