JLine for Dedicated Server

by Fourmisain · on Modrinth

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.2Newest
Minecraft 1.16–1.21.11

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.21.11

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

A server side mod to enable command history, auto completion and syntax highlighting on the server console, somewhat similar to the chat console in the game or the Spigot server console. Should have zero impact on the gameplay.

This mod is configured via jline4mcdsrv.toml in the config folder:

logPattern is the pattern used for Log4j 2 (documentation found here)
highlightColors is a list of colors used to highlight parameters in order (as seen in the image above)

PSA: Since Minecraft 1.17 the -Dlog4j.skipJansi=false command line argument is needed for %style/%highlight log output (0.6.2 doesn't require this anymore).

This mod only works if the server is started with the 'nogui' option. There's no plan to add support for the GUI server.

Note: The original author of this mod is chirs241097 and the project is also found on CurseForge. I've been maintaining this mod for a while and Chris allowed me to bring the mod to Modrinth too!
