# Logger Overview

{% hint style="info" %}
**Logger** is an advanced, high-performance Minecraft auditing and analytics plugin designed to watch, record, and log nearly every player activity and server event across Bukkit/Paper/Folia servers and Proxy networks (Velocity, BungeeCord, Waterfall, FlameCord).
{% endhint %}

Packaged as a **Universal 3-in-1 Multi-Platform JAR**, a single binary (`Logger-1.8.4.jar`) runs natively across all backend servers and proxies without separate builds.

We are more than welcome to help you further on our [**Discord Server**](https://discord.gg/MfR5mcpVfX).
