This mod is configured via jline4mcdsrv.toml in the config folder:
logPatternis the pattern used for Log4j 2 (documentation found here)highlightColorsis a list of colors used to highlight parameters in order (as seen in the image above)
PSA: Since Minecraft 1.17 the (0.6.2 doesn't require this anymore).-Dlog4j.skipJansi=false command line argument is needed for %style/%highlight log output
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!
