# Event Logger For IM (ELFIM)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ELFIM (_pronounced “elf eye em”_) is a light-weight event logging plugin that posts selected events to Slack and Discord. It’s a convienient way to keep track of who logged on when, or what commands they used while playing. (*see below for complete list of events*)<\/p>\n
**NOTE:** Version 2.3.0 adds Internationalization support (_with an included localized German properties file_). I’d love for anyone fluent in other languages to contribute translations.<\/p>\n
## Usage<\/p>\n
After starting the server with `ELFIM- Enable or disable the integrations<\/p>\n “`yaml Enable or disable specific events:<\/p>\n “`yaml Log a custom set of server.properties Configure the language for the interface: If you would like your translation to be included in this project, please open an issue on GitHub and attach the translated file. I will review and integrate it as appropriate.<\/p>\n NOTE: The included `de.properties` file was generated using AI and may contain inaccuracies. Contributions from native German speakers to improve this translation are welcome and appreciated.<\/p>\n ## Slack Configuration and Examples<\/p>\n See the Slack readme.<\/p>\n ## Discord Configuration and Examples<\/p>\n See the Discord readme.<\/p>\n ## Support<\/p>\n If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please open an issue on GitHub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A light-weight event logger that posts events to Slack and Discord.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":65962,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"eventloggerforim","_minecraft_project_id":"odnbu9dQ","_minecraft_author":"HideTheMonkey","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":133,"_minecraft_follows":0,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"eventloggerforim.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":32231649,"_minecraft_version_count":5,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T19:03:59.297201Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2024-08-12T00:42:48.234168Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-08-28T02:58:02.871802Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/eventloggerforim","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":65962,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-03T18:57:07+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"8635f496b2bd742dddb21e4f0a896088","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[124,126,127,128,129,92],"mod_loader":[130,132,133,134],"minecraft_version":[118,119,120,46,47,48,49,51,54,59,62,78],"class_list":["post-65961","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-bukkit","mod_category-management","mod_category-paper","mod_category-purpur","mod_category-spigot","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-bukkit","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-purpur","mod_loader-spigot","minecraft_version-1-16","minecraft_version-1-16-1","minecraft_version-1-16-2","minecraft_version-1-16-3","minecraft_version-1-16-4","minecraft_version-1-16-5","minecraft_version-1-17","minecraft_version-1-18","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-5"],"yoast_head":"\n

\nTo add a new translation, duplicate `en_US.properties` and save it with a new locale-specific filename using UTF-8 encoding (e.g., `ja_JP.properties`), and update the values accordingly. Then, set `locale: ja_JP` in config.yml to enable your new translations to appear in generated messages.<\/p>\n
