DiscordRPC
by ILMaRkz
DiscordRPC shows the current Minecraft activity on a player's Discord profile, including the server being played and its live player count.
What it does
When a player joins a multiplayer server, the mod sends the server IP, its icon and the live number of players to Discord Rich Presence, so friends see where the player is without opening the game. A custom URL can also be set as the server link shown on the profile.
The mod is a client-side tool for Forge on Minecraft 1.8.9, the only game version it targets. Only the client needs it: players install it, and servers do not have to run it. Its license is the MIT License, and the code is not open source. Files for Forge 1.8.9 were first published and last updated on 2026-03-22, and the latest one is 1.0 on the beta channel.
Because the mod is client-side only, players can join any server without installing anything on the server side. The Discord status changes as the player moves between sessions, so the timer restarts when a new game is launched.

How it compares
Galacticraft Rich Presence [Galacticraft Addon] is a Forge mod for 1.12.2, released under the MIT License and open source, so it targets a different version than DiscordRPC. Simple Rich Discord Presence is a client-side mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.14.4 – 26.3, and its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source. YARPC is client-side for Fabric and Forge across 1.8.9 – 1.21.11 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source; it is the alternative that also covers 1.8.9 with a wider range of loaders.
