CCLogger

What is CCLogger?

CCLogger logs player activity on Paper servers. Chat messages, commands, joins, quits, kicks - it all gets recorded to your storage backend of choice.

You can use flat files for simplicity, SQLite if you want queries without external dependencies, or connect to MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis for larger setups. All writes happen async so your server tick rate stays clean.

Features

Logging

Chat - Messages with timestamp, world, and coordinates

Commands - All commands (blacklist supported for /login, /register, etc.)

Connections - Join, quit, kick events

Output options:

  • Global log files (chat.log, commands.log)
  • Per-player files (players/Steve.log)
  • Custom format with placeholders: %date, %name, %content, %world, %x, %y, %z

Storage

File - Text files, human-readable (no setup)

SQLite - Local database, no config needed (no setup)

MySQL - Shared database for networks (requires MySQL server)

MongoDB - Document store, scales horizontally (requires MongoDB)

Redis - Fast, in-memory, good for high volume (requires Redis)

All backends use async writes and connection pooling.

Privacy

IP logging modes for GDPR compliance:

  • disabled - IPs not stored
  • truncated - Last octet zeroed (192.168.1.x becomes 192.168.1.0)
  • hashed - bcrypt hash with daily rotating salt
  • full - Complete IP stored

Commands can be blacklisted with regex patterns. Players with cclogger.exempt permission are excluded from logging.

Alerts

Monitor keywords and commands in real-time:

  • Define trigger words (e.g., "hack", "cheat", "exploit")
  • Define trigger commands (e.g., "/op", "/gamemode")
  • Ops with cclogger.notify get in-game alerts
  • All triggers logged to file
