I can't get MangoHUD to work in Minecraft. I'd like to log CPU and GPU data every 1 second

Can you point me at an explanation of the log file format? It doesn't make much sense without the decoder ring, and I'm not having any luck searching.

i'm not familiar with it, i just know it exists in the same option window that has a tickbox for Alarm

#

it should be just a text file, presumably

#

so show the text file here. (make sure when u upload it that its filename has a .txt extension for Discord to display it easily)
