MinecraftWebhook
MinecraftWebhook is a Forge server mod that sends in-game events from a Minecraft server to a Discord channel through a webhook.
What it does
The mod watches a set of server events and posts a message for each one: a player joining, a player leaving, a player earning an advancement, a player dying, a chat message, the server starting and the server shutting down. Each event type can be turned on or off, and the message text can be customised, so a server can relay only the events its owners want to see.
Because the environment is server-side only, players join the server without installing anything, and only the server owner needs the mod. It is built for Forge 1.12.2 alone and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the source code is open source and public. The project keeps an issue tracker for requests, and the author has said new game versions will be considered through GitHub issues.
Key features
Join and leave messages
A message is posted to the Discord channel when a player connects to or disconnects from the server.
Advancement and death relay
Advancements earned and deaths of players are sent to Discord as they happen.
Chat relay
Chat messages from the server are forwarded to the linked Discord channel.
Server state messages
The server posts a message when it starts and another when it shuts down.
Customisable messages
The text of each relayed event can be edited, so the output matches the style of the community channel.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Community channels
A server owner keeps a Discord channel updated with joins, leaves and chat, so members who are away can follow what happens on the server.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Forge 1.12.2 who want player activity from their server to appear in a Discord channel.
How it compares
PolyHopper is a Quilt mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 that is server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0. Discord Join Message is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with an All rights reserved license, and it is not open source; it is required on the server, while clients may leave it out. ForgeLink is a server-side Forge mod for 1.19.2 under the MIT License and is open source, so it covers a different version range from MinecraftWebhook.
