Stuff A Sock In It

by Darkhax

Stuff A Sock In It is a Forge utility that filters unwanted messages out of the console log, matching by plain string or by regular expression.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 onlyOpen source1.10.2 – 1.14.4

What it does

Console filtering is the core job here. A player or server owner can drop any log line that contains a given string, so a line such as "hello" removes "hello world" from the output. A second filter type accepts a regular expression for patterns that a plain match cannot express. Two filter types cover most cases without any extra setup.

The mod also loads as a Forge core mod, which lets it run earlier than ordinary mods and see log output from them sooner. Versions for 1.12 and later use the newer core mod mechanism. Forge and several other mods are known to log more than needed, and the author notes that removing their noise is useful, though it can hide real error information, so the filters should be chosen with care. The source is published under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and the code is open source.

Stuff A Sock In It is published for Forge only, across six release versions 1.10.2 – 1.14.4, with 3.0.3 for 1.14.4 as the latest file. It runs on client and server, so both sides need it.

Key features

  1. String filters

    A filter removes any log message that contains a given piece of text, which is the simplest way to silence repeated lines.

  2. Regular expression filters

    Messages that match a regular expression are removed, for patterns that a plain text match cannot describe.

  3. Early loading

    In earlier versions the mod uses Forge's core mod system, so it loads before other mods and can filter their output from the start.

  4. Removal of mod log noise

    Log lines from Forge and other mods that repeat the same debug messages can be filtered out, leaving the console easier to read.

Questions

Does Stuff A Sock In It need to be installed on the server?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Which loaders can run Stuff A Sock In It?

Only Forge. Files are published for that loader alone, and no Fabric or NeoForge build is listed.

Can the filters hide real errors?

Yes. The author notes that a filter can remove actual error information, so filters should target only messages that are known to be unhelpful.
