Server no longer outputs to stdout.

Confirmed. This occurs even in a "fresh" installation. There is also no new logs (logs/latest.log) folder as indicated by Dinnerbone (https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/382170674544254976)

My server is on CentOS so I don't believe this is OS dependent.

I have a similar problem on Ubuntu 12.04.

Confirmed 13w39a

No console output, no log output.

Logging works fine on a Mid-13 MacBook Air with a fresh server installation. I can't figure out how to make it log to an html file though--supposedly this was added?

Logging to html file would be a log4j thing, not a minecraft thing.

Confirmed on Windows XP as well. Tried using the .exe and the jar.

So how would I set up the Log4j thing?

STDOUT was stealth fixed yesterday but GUI console is a different issue entirely 😃

Redownload the server to get your stdout fixed.

1. diff minecraft_server.13w39a.jar minecraft_server.13w39a.jar.1

2. Binary files minecraft_server.13w39a.jar and minecraft_server.13w39a.jar.1 differ
   Sneaky. 🙂

Confirmed Fixed in 13w39b

How does one make it log to an HTML file?

The GUI console is still broke in 13w41b. Either this bug should be reopened, or another bug should be created for the GUI part.

This is still a problem in release 1.7.2. The ONLY text I get (Windows 7 64-bit running Oracle Java 64-bit) is the "Memory use" and the "Avg tick" (and their respective values). Everything else is solid white.

TheBuzzSaw, how are you invoking the minecraft server? Since they stopped publicizing the windows exe, I had to create a batch file with this line in it to invoke the jar:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java" -jar minecraft_server.1.7.2.jar

(For some reason, their explanation of right clicking it and selecting run with java didn't work.)

Since I've done this, I have no longer experienced this issue. I can see output from commands in both the dos window that comes up, and also in the main minecraft server window, including the log and chat area on the right hand side. I'm also running windows 7 64 bit running Oracle Java 64 bit, so I don't know what would be different other than how I invoke it...

They stopped publicizing it? I grabbed it straight off my download page just like every other server release.

I agree everything else is just solid white but have you tried asking your friends to connect. Even if the console is just soild white the server may still work.

Yes, if you look at their blog entries, they no longer provide links to the exe's. I think they are discontinuing them because of this known issue, and want people using Windows to use the jar files directly instead. There is no link to the exe from their blog entries, and it says "(On windows, right click -> open with -> java)". However, that didn't work for me... but when I launched it from a batch file like described above, it did work, and it also resolved this issue.

Good to know. I'll give the raw JAR file a try tonight.

And yes, the server works fine. I just miss being able to interact with that console and see log entries. Others connect just fine, and I see their names in the lower left box.

Using 1.8.5 version of Windows server program, the log still doesn't display. Is porting a server run with the exe to one run by the jar simple?
