ConsolePeek

A tiny Paper plugin that adds /console <lines> — it reads the last N lines of logs/latest.log and prints them into chat for whoever ran the command.

Never again will you need to visit the web portal to whitelist when your friend forgets their username. Simply wait for a failed login attempt, then run /console X to see their username. Helpful for quick debugs.

Install

1. Drop ConsolePeek.jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
2. Restart the server.
3. In game or console, run /console 20 to see the last 20 lines.

Commands

Command	Who	What
/console <lines>	everyone or ops (per ops-only)	Last N raw console lines.
/consolepeek login <count>	ops (consolepeek.admin)	Last N logins as date time username.
/console login <count>	ops (consolepeek.admin)	Alias for /consolepeek login.
/consolepeek reload	ops (consolepeek.admin)	Reload config.yml.

/consolepeek login

Config

plugins/ConsolePeek/config.yml:

Key	Default	Meaning
ops-only	true	Require the consolepeek.use permission (ops have it by default).
max-lines	100	Hard cap on lines printed per command.

Apply changes with /consolepeek reload — no restart, no recompile.

Permissions

Node	Default	Grants
consolepeek.use	op	Use of /console <lines>.
consolepeek.admin	op	Use of /consolepeek reload.

With a permissions plugin (LuckPerms etc.) you can grant consolepeek.use to specific players or ranks while leaving ops-only: true — e.g. /lp group moderator permission set consolepeek.use true.
