[1.12.2] Logging to different log file

[Furgl]

Hello, 

 

I am familiar with how to use Forge's logging system using the logger provided in the 

FMLPreInitializationEvent

using 

event.getModLog()

which works great in most cases. But now I am looking to log a lot of information regularly and would like to have it easily accessible - preferably in a separate file from the default log files.

 

Apologies if there is already an answer to this question out there, but I haven't found any up-to-date information on it. Does anyone know of a simple way to have a logger write to a different log file (without messing up Forge's current logging system)?

I think you can just use the Log4j library to create your own logger. Standard Java stuff so google for tutorials and examples.
