 ===== Upload your log =====
-Dumping your logs will result in a large embedded code block in your message, making it difficult 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 which make it easier to read.

 ===== Locating logs =====
-Logs can be found in the **''logs''** folder of your game directory. The latest log filename is **''latest.log''**.
+==== Logs ====
+Even if a crash report is not generated, a log always will be and will contain more than just crash information.
-Crash reports can be found in the **''.minecraft\crash-reports''** folder of your game directory. Crash report filenames will have the pattern **''crash-yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss-client.txt''** or **''crash-yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss-server.txt''**.
+Logs can be found in the **''logs''** folder of your game directory. The latest log is called **''latest.log''**. Previous logs have the pattern **''yyyy-mm-dd_number.log.gz''**

+==== Crash reports ====
+Crash reports can be found in the **''crash-reports''** folder of your game directory. Crash report filenames will have the pattern **''crash-yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss-client.txt''** or **''crash-yyyy-mm-dd_hh.mm.ss-server.txt''**
+Keep in mind that you can sort folders in file managers to more easily find the newest file. File name extensions are not shown by default on most systems so the **''latest.log''** will appear to be a text file called **''latest''**, for example.
