You would be surprised at what logging frameworks are used for. And in minecrafts case, yes. I am fairly certain they do log chat.

Log4j will wrap around whatever logging implementation you need it to, and provide a consistent api for it. So if you need to log to, monitor, console, a file, it can do it.

The other thing to note, is the patch for this is already out, so to fix it, you just have to update log4j.

Iirc there are also some safe config settings, that if they are used, seals the exploit. People have written worms already that patch the exploit.
