I know there is "org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger" that are being used throughout to print all kinds of messages. I want a call to

logger.debug("Some awesome message");

to show up when I work in eclipse but not when the mod is deployed. How can I set the Level of Messages that are being print to the console to DEBUG?

There's a way to turn it on in the logger, but I'll be damned if I remember.

 

You need to enable that debug in the logger, if you're going to log debug messages.

Note to future readers: I gain access to the logger via

	@Mod.EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent pre) {
	logger = pre.getModLog();
}

 

EDIT: I found this old thread but it is outdated and doesn't explain anything in the end. (How to use config/logging.properties, after all?)

Um... Nope.AVI. I mean, it's correct, but you can just use

 

public static Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger("MyMod");

 

and be able to access the logger before the preInit.

Totally offtopic and why would I want to do that, anyway?

You can use it in core mods before the preInit event is EVER fired.
