Getting Development Console Output
You may need to get the development console output for many reasons, the follwing is a guide to do so.
All Platforms
Minecraft has multiple dev consoles as of version (unknown). The first one, labeled
Launcher Log
refers to the launcher and its launching. Anything that
occurs before pressing play probably concerns this log. After pressing play, the
game will make a new tab for that session, called
Game Output (username)
. The rightmost tab will be the most
recent.
When you've selected the correct log, click in the box and use
Command (⌘) + A or Control + A. If your using this in an IRC channel like
#minecrafthelp, you should use a service like http://gist.github.com to shorten it.
If your using this for the Mojang Bug Tracker (Mojira), you should enclose your log
in {code} brackets.
