How to connect Minecraft and Discord with DyDiscord — DyDiscord documentation

Connect Minecraft and Discord with DyDiscord

DyDiscord connects your Minecraft server with your Discord community. You need your own Discord application and bot, plus permission to configure the Minecraft and Discord servers.

1. Choose one package

Open DyDiscord, select a compatible Minecraft version and server platform, and check the release notes.

Small downloads required libraries on its first startup.
Standalone includes those libraries.

Both packages provide the same features. Install only one. Listed platforms include Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and Purpur. Use the Java runtime required by your server.

2. Install the plugin

Stop the Minecraft server.
Back up the complete plugins/DyDiscord folder if it exists.
Place your selected JAR in plugins and remove the previous DyDiscord JAR when upgrading.
Start the server to generate its files and check the log.

3. Configure your Discord bot

Create your application and bot through the Discord Developer Portal. Configure the bot token using the plugin's local configuration file or environment settings. Treat the token like a password: never publish it, commit it to GitHub or include it in a screenshot or support log.

Keep account-linking and chat channels separate. Grant the bot only the permissions required by the features you enable. Review the generated configuration for the selected release instead of copying settings from an unrelated plugin.

4. Test linking and diagnose problems

Use /dyda doctor to diagnose the setup. Players begin linking with /dydiscord link. Test with a regular player account and check the intended Discord channels before inviting the whole community to use the integration.

Need help?

Include your server platform, Minecraft version, DyDiscord version and relevant error messages when contacting support. Remove the bot token and other private information first.
