Hi, I'm trying to find a clever way to log certain things, one example being command execution, and I want to log stuff like operator changes, whitelist changes, whenever these commands have been used and when, so let's say /give, /gamemode, /whitelist, etc. I'm running a Minecraft server with Docker and I'm using this image: itzg/minecraft-server, the server is using Fabric and is on version 1.21.8, I have already tried checking Modrinth for server-side mods to help me with this since I can't use plugins, I have used a couple of mods that helps a lot with other stuff like inspecting blocks and getting stats such as who has picked it up, if it has changed, what it has changed into and when and so on. I would also like to know if there is a more clever way to get metrics and more advanced ones. I'm currently using a mod called FabricExporter and it uses Prometheus to export metrics which I then later use Grafana to visualize it on dashboards, but the metrics aren't really as much as I would like them to be, I've seen other mods and so on that gets a lot of metrics do allow for very useful dashboards.
Last thing I wanted to ask was just recommendations on what JRE or JDE version + implementation to use, I'm curerntly using java21 but I've seen some people recommend using either Java21 or Java25 for specifically 1.21.+ versions and then as well use GraalVMs Java implementation. Would like to know more about this.

Thanks for reading!

Do others have access to manage your server? Or simply can run commands?
if they can only run commands, then all these things come down to one thing: command execution. which is logged to the log always. so you can mount your logs directory to the host if you want
but i’m probably reinventing the wheel here, i’m sure someone might have a more elegant premade solution
It might show that the whitelist has changed by noticing me that somebody was removed or added to/from the whitelist

Not sure how different Fabric is in this regard but on Paper I’m almost certain all command usage is logged unless the plugin itself suppresses it?

I have also made sure to change the log4j2 from info to all to get logging levels like TRACE, DEBUG, etc.
I want my server to be as vanilla as possible to ensure stuff like farms works and stuff like that so I couldn't go with PaperMC

Your farms would probably work fine on Paper but :shrug:

I did use Paper at first

New ZealandOP
but I ran into issues
Asian black bear
did you follow this guide from the paper docs
New ZealandOP
I have not, but this could definitely fix some issues or like 90% of them but the rest of the issues would be using bugs that are present in vanilla as well

anyways, just to confirm, when you enter commands in your server as a player, the console is not logging that?
New ZealandOP
e.g. carpet dupers
Yes
And I have yet to find a mod to help me with this or another way to achieve this logging
But I do really like the idea of PaperMC thats why I started the server with it but had to shift
