ConsoleReader is a simple plugin that allows you to view the server console in-game.

Basic Usage

• Use the /cr read command to toggle console reading in chat. Console messages will appear in chat as shown below.
• Hover over the time and log level to see additional information about a message.
• Use the /cr exec command to execute commands as the console. (i.e, /cr exec tps)

Commands

• /cr help -- Shows the help menu.
• /cr read [player] -- Toggles showing the console in chat. Optionally specify a player to toggle console reading for them.
• /cr exec <command> -- Executes a command as the console. (Can also use /cexec)
• /cr list -- Shows a list of players currently monitoring the console.
• /cr reload -- Reloads the config.yml
• /cr version -- Shows the plugin version.

Permissions

• consolereader.read -- Allows use of help, read, list, and version subcommands.
