To keep the console open when the game crashes:

Open MultiMC, click on “Settings” on the top horizontal toolbar, then on the “Console” tab, and ensure that the following two options are ticked:

“Show console when game is running?”

“Show console when the game crashes?”

Start the Minecraft instance, when the game crashes, use the Upload button on the top right side of the instance Console window, in the Minecraft Log Tab to upload your log and post the link copied to your clipboard.

Do not copy and paste, drag and drop, screenshot, or significantly alter your logs. Use a paste service, then post the link to the paste in Discord chat.

Open the log file, copy the contents to the clipboard, and paste them in a paste, for example:

• https://gist.github.com/ 100MB Requires member (Free)
• https://pastebin.com/ 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)
• https://hastebin.com/ 400KB
• https://paste.ee/ 1MB as guest, 6MB as member (Free)
• https://paste.gg/ 15MB
• https://mclo.gs/ 10 MiB / Anonymous (designed specifically for Minecraft logs)

Once you submit the paste, you can use the paste URL in the Fabric Discord so others can help you.

When sharing a large piece of code or a log, you should use a paste site instead of dragging and dropping a file or copy and pasting your logs. Dumping your logs will result in a large embedded codeblock in your message, making it difficult for other people to read previous messages.

Text files cannot be viewed on Discord for mobile, and Discord for desktop only shows a limited preview of the file. Uploading your logs to a paste site means that volunteers do not need to download your log to view it. Some paste sites also come with syntax highlighting, further saving the time of volunteers.
