Link your Minecraft chat to a Discord server

So you want to have your Minecraft chat show up in your Discord server (and vise-versa), huh? Well lucky for you, Lilypad is here to help!

If you need any help along the way, feel free to open a ticket in our Discord server

All plugins/mods we'll discuss later will require creating and setting up a Discord bot for the integration:

Go to the Discord Developer Portal and login to Discord
Click New Application in the top right, type in a name, check the box, and Create (optional: choose an icon for the bot under App Icon)
On the Installation page: Disable User Install, ensure Guild Install is enabled, and change Install Link to None
On the Bot page: Under Token, click Reset Token and store the newly generated token somewhere safe (Don't just copy it! You'll be copying something else later)
Under Authorization Flow, disable Public Bot
Under Privileged Gateway Intents, enable ALL privileged intents (Presence Intent, Server Members Intent, Message Content Intent)

On the OAuth2 page: In the OAuth2 URL Generator select bot as the Scope and then Administrator as the Bot Permission (or whatever permissions you want to give your bot)

Ensure Integration Type is Guild Install and then copy the generated link at the bottom

Paste this link in your browser and follow the instructions to add the bot to your Discord server

You've now successfully added a custom bot to your Discord server. The next step is enabling Developer Mode on Discord:

Open your User Settings on Discord
Open the Developer page (very bottom, right above Log Out) and enable Developer Mode
Go to your server, right-click the channel you want your Minecraft chat to go to, and click Copy Channel ID at the bottom of the context menu
Store this copied ID somewhere safe as you'll need it later

You're now ready for the final step, setting up the plugin/mod:

There are a few different ways to do this depending on your server software:

Install Discord Integration from Modrinth (make sure to download the correct modloader + Minecraft version)
Restart your Minecraft server and open config/Discord-Integration.toml
Find the botToken setting (under [general]) and set it to the token you stored when creating your bot
Find the botChannel setting and set it to the channel ID you stored earlier
Save the file and restart your Minecraft server

You should now see messages showing up in your Discord channel. Don't see any messages appearing? Open a ticket in our Discord.

Discord Integration has their own documentation for more advanced users

Install DiscordSRV from the Plugins page of your Lilypad server panel
Restart your Minecraft server and open plugins/DiscordSRV/config.yml
Find the BotToken setting and set it to the token you stored when creating your bot, it should look something like this: BotToken: "MjE5NTE5OTk0MDUxMDM1MTQ3.CqTCYw.SFAbKtfK3ydTy1jx2-fTHUJqsPo"
Find the Channels setting and replace 000000000000000000 with the channel ID you stored earlier, it should look something like this: Channels: {"global": "219559668236681216"}
Save the file and restart your Minecraft server
