Changes

v1.5.1-ALPHA (Quick Fix)

Changes

• Fix for Paper:
  • Fixed "[None]" from appearing in front of log messages that don't have an associated logger name.

v1.5-ALPHA

Changes

• Built on Spigot API version 1.16
  • Still compatible with versions starting from 1.12
• Fixes issue where an invalid config would crash the server.
• Spigot specific fixes (these were already fixed in Paper):
  • ANSI escape sequences are now parsed for 256 color terminals, so you should be able to see colors in game with /cr read
  • Fixed duplicate logger name in /cr read

v1.4-ALPHA

Changes

• Improved help menu
  • Hover over commands in the help menu to show aliases.
  • Click commands in the help menu to run or suggest them.
• New command: /cr list
  • Shows a list of players that are monitoring the console whether they're online or offline.
  • Falls under the consolereader.read permission.
• Improvements to /cr read
  • Can now be used by the console. (Requires player name argument)
  • To toggle reading for other players, the new consolereader.read.others permission is required.
  • Can now be used to toggle reading for players that are offline.
    • Note: Since permissions cannot be checked for offline players without adding a dependency, this command will always appear to succeed. Permissions are checked at login, so if you toggle reading for a player that does not have the consolereader.read permission, they will be removed from reading the next time they log in.
• New alias for /cr reload: /cr rel
• Fixes an issue with temporary reading with /cr execute
  • "Temporarily enabling console reading for 5 seconds" will not show twice if /cr exec is used again within 5 seconds.

v1.3-ALPHA

Changes

• The plugin has been rewritten in Kotlin.
• Reduced jar size.
• Fixed an issue where if two players started reading console, one player would stop getting log messages.
• Console reading now resumes on login if you logged off while it was enabled.
• Hover over the time and log level in chat to see additional information such as the logger and thread which the message came from.
• You can now use /cr read [playername] to toggle console reading for another player.
  • Note: The other player also needs the consolereader.read permission.
• New filters section in config.yml
  • If you're coming from a previous version, you have to delete your config.yml to regenerate it or add the filters section to your existing config.yml.
  • Allows filtering of messages seen while reading the console.
  • Uses regex to match messages. Messages must be a FULL match in order to be filtered.
  • Default options filter out the default Minecraft chat, the players own commands and the players own join message.

v1.2-ALPHA

Changes

• Shows the logger name in the console output. This way you can see which plugin the log message came from.
• WARN, FATAL, and ERROR messages will be highlighted in a different color.
• If /cr exec is used when console reading is not enabled, then console reading will be temporarily enabled for 5 seconds so you can see the output.
• consolereader.use permission has been removed. consolereader.read now contains help, read, and version subcommands.
• New config.yml option: forbidden_commands
  • Blocks execution of certain commands with /cr exec
  • Defaults: "op" and "deop"
