What they have in common
Both take a log and give you a link. Log levels are highlighted, private details like IP addresses are hidden, and there's an API for launchers, mods and server panels.
Where they differ
| minelog | mclo.gs | |
|---|---|---|
| Largest log | 15 MB | 10 MiB |
| Most lines | 30,000 | 25,000 |
| Hidden before saving | IP addresses, MAC addresses, user folder names, tokens and email addresses, in your browser and again on the server | IP addresses and other sensitive details |
| Finding the problem for you | Not yet | Yes, it detects common problems and version info |
| Deleting a log early | No, logs delete themselves after 40 days | Yes, with the token from the upload |
| API | Its own /v2, plus a /1 that matches mclo.gs | /1 |
The mclo.gs column comes from its public API documentation as of September 2026 and can change. minelog isn't affiliated with mclo.gs or Aternos.
Using mclo.gs tools with minelog
If a launcher, mod or bot already uploads to mclo.gs, change api.mclo.gs to api.minelog.org and keep the /1 paths. Uploads, reading a log, raw text and limits work the same way. Deleting and log analysis aren't on minelog yet, so those two endpoints answer with a clear error. The details are in the API docs.
Using both
You don't have to pick one. A log saved on one doesn't need to be on the other, and links from either keep working. If you want a service to point out the problem for you, mclo.gs does that today. If you'd rather have a larger size limit or logs that clean up after themselves, minelog does that.
Questions
Is minelog a copy of mclo.gs?
No, it's a separate project. Its /1 API follows the public mclo.gs documentation, so tools built for mclo.gs can switch by changing the address.
Can I use minelog and mclo.gs together?
Yes. You can share one log on both, or point a tool at whichever you prefer.
Can I delete a log on minelog?
No. Every log deletes itself 40 days after it's saved, and there's no early delete. Read the preview before you upload.
Does minelog analyse logs?
Not yet. It highlights levels and counts errors and warnings, but it doesn't diagnose the cause of a crash.
