Why DiscordSRV

DiscordSRV creates a bridge between Discord and Minecraft. In-game messages appear on Discord and vice versa. You also receive console logs and crash alerts.

Installation

Download DiscordSRV from SpigotMC, place it in plugins/. On first startup, config.yml is generated.

Create the bot

On discord.com/developers/applications: create an application, add a bot, copy its token into BotToken. Invite the bot to your server with Messages + Embeds permissions.

Recommended channels

  • #in-game-chat — bidirectional chat bridge
  • #console — console logs (staff)
  • #alerts — startups, crashes, bans

Account linking

With /discord link, players link their account. You can assign Discord roles based on their in-game rank.
