Requirements

Installation

Download the latest Better Fabric Console, Fabric API, and adventure-platform-fabric jars.
Place the jars in your server mods/ directory.
Start the server once to generate config files.
Stop the server and edit configuration as needed.
Start the server again.

You may also choose to run the server with the --nogui argument (i.e. java -jar fabric.jar --nogui)
to disable the server GUI (this is a Vanilla option).

Configuration

Better Fabric Console generates and reads:

config/better-fabric-console/better-fabric-console.conf
config/better-fabric-console/log4j2.xml

The bundled default Log4j config is also written to config/better-fabric-console/defaults/log4j2.xml for reference.
If you customize log4j2.xml and the bundled default changes, Better Fabric Console will warn on startup until you review/merge the change and run:

/better-fabric-console dismiss-log4j-config-update

You can also start once with -Dbetter-fabric-console.dismiss-log4j-config-update=true to dismiss the warning.

Default better-fabric-console.conf for reference:

# Specify argument highlight colors, in order. Possible values: [BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, CYAN, WHITE]
highlight-colors=[
    CYAN,
    YELLOW,
    GREEN,
    MAGENTA,
    BLUE
]
# Whether to log commands executed by players to console.
log-player-executed-commands=true

Better Fabric Console also respects the following system properties to override terminal environment detection:
