What started as a niche project for a niche modloader for a niche Minecraft version has now been extended to all Minecraft versions (that I personally care about)!<\/p>\n
# Nilcord | Yet another Discord bridge for Minecraft<\/p>\n
Nilcord connects the chat of your Minecraft server to a specified Discord text channel, using a Discord bot and (optionally) webhook.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
To get the mod set up, simply place the mod file in the `mods` directory (or `nilmods` with NilLoader), start your Minecraft server, and wait for it to generate the config file (and crash because it’s not yet populated).<\/p>\n
The config file, named `nilcord.toml`, is found in the `config` folder, and is pretty self-explanatory.<\/p>\n “`toml \t# Settings pertaining to the Discord webhook # Settings pertaining to Minecraft itself # Settings pertaining to message formatting \t# Settings pertaining to messages visible in Discord \t\t# Settings pertaining to messages sent from the webhook, if enabled \t# Settings pertaining to messages visible in Minecraft (Note that this is the config file for Nilcord `2.1.0+1.20.4+fabric`. It may look different on other versions.)<\/p>\n Only the `token` and `channel_id` fields (under the `discord` category) are *strictly required* to be filled out; the mod falls back to sensible defaults for everything else. But feel free to change it to your liking!<\/p>\n ## Notes<\/p>\n For setting up a Discord application (to get a bot token), follow discord.js’ guide: Setting up a bot application | discord.js Guide<\/p>\n For finding a Discord channel’s “Channel ID”, follow Discord’s guide: Where can I find my User\/Server\/Message ID? – Discord<\/p>\n With 1.21.1 and below, the Fabric (and NeoForge!?) versions can also make use of the Simplified Text Format, as well as placeholders supplied by Text Placeholder API and the various mods that support it.<\/p>\n With 1.21.2 and above, the Fabric versions allow using QuickText as well.<\/p>\n The Forge 1.7.10 version has additional support for ChromatiCraft’s progression messages, as well as ServerUtilities’ AFK messages.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Comments?
