free · reading the log you already pasted
You pasted it to mclo.gs. Now find out what it says.
mclo.gs is the right place to put a Minecraft log. It is fast, it hides IP addresses, it needs no account, and every support channel already knows the links. Aternos built it, open-sourced it and keep it running for everyone.
What it does not do is tell you what went wrong. Roastd takes the mclo.gs link you already have, reads the whole log against a catalogue of 135 known Minecraft failures, and gives you the line that caused it, the mod or plugin responsible and what to change. No account, no AI, and the report is a link you can hand to whoever insists it is not their mod.
Where mclo.gs is strong
- Everywhere. The plugin and mod integrations have hundreds of thousands of downloads, so one command in the console uploads the log from almost any server.
- Privacy by default. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are masked before the paste is stored, and pastes expire 90 days after they were last viewed.
- Generous limits. Up to 10 MiB and 25,000 lines per paste, with syntax highlighting that makes a long log readable.
- Open source, run by Aternos, and free with nothing to sign up for.
What Roastd adds on top of the paste
Paste the mclo.gs link, get the diagnosis
Roastd fetches the log server-side from the id in the link, so you do not need to copy the text out again. The report names the exact line that matched and what it means.
Deterministic, not a language model
Every finding comes from a written rule with a page you can read. The same log always gives the same answer, and when nothing matches, Roastd says so instead of inventing a cause.
It knows what it is reading
Paper, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt, proxy and client logs each get the checks that apply to them, and when one fault caused another the report says which is the symptom.
More than the crash log
Add a spark profile, the mod list, server.properties or the launch command and the same report checks heap headroom, view distance, client-only mods, duplicates and the settings that cost you tick time.
A report you can hand over
Every roast gets a permanent link on roastd.me. Post it in the support thread and the next person sees the finding, the fix and the redacted log, not a wall of text.
In Discord as well
Add the Roastd bot and anyone in your server can attach a log, paste an mclo.gs link or right-click a message and get the same report without leaving the channel.

Using them together
- 1Upload the log the way you always doRun the mclo.gs command on the server, or paste the log on mclo.gs. Nothing about that changes.
- 2Paste the link into RoastdOpen the Minecraft analyser, drop the https://mclo.gs/... link into the paste box, and roast it. Roastd pulls the log from the id and never asks you to copy the text.
- 3Add the rest if you have itA spark profile link, the mod list or server.properties in the optional boxes turn a crash diagnosis into a full health check.
- 4Share the reportPost the roastd.me link where the log was being discussed. The mclo.gs paste stays where it was.
Every finding Roastd can raise has its own page in the Minecraft error index.
Questions you'd be right to ask
Is Roastd trying to replace mclo.gs?
No. mclo.gs is where logs live and Roastd reads them from there. If you only need to show someone a log, mclo.gs is the better tool and always will be. Roastd is for the step after that, when someone has to work out what the log means.
Does Roastd upload my log anywhere?
Roastd fetches the log from mclo.gs on its own servers, strips addresses, tokens and passwords, and keeps the redacted text only for as long as the report needs it. The report itself never contains the raw log.
Does it use AI?
No. Every finding is a written rule with a reference page, so the answer is the same every time and you can read exactly what it matched. If nothing in the catalogue matches your log, the report says so.
Do I have to host with Hostd?
No. Roastd reads logs from any server, on any host or at home. Where a finding is something a different hosting setup would prevent, the report says so, and that is the whole pitch.
