Nilcord

by unilock

Nilcord bridges a Minecraft server chat with a Discord channel, so messages pass in both directions between the two.

What it does

Nilcord is a Discord bridge for Minecraft servers. Its configuration lives in a file named nilcord.toml, which the mod creates in the config folder. The project began as a niche modloader effort, and the mod now covers a long list of game versions, 1.4.7 – 26.3 across 24 release versions.

Server owners install Nilcord on the server only, since the environment is server-side only and players join without the mod. Fabric API and MixinBooter are required dependencies. Placeholder API NeoForge and Text Placeholder API ship inside the mod. Builds are released under the MIT License and the source code is open source, with a public issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Two-way chat bridge

    Messages from the server chat reach a Discord channel, and messages from Discord appear in the game.

  2. Text formatting

    Message text can use Simplified Text Format or QuickText, depending on the loader and version, and placeholders can fill in player or server values.

  3. Progression and AFK messages

    On Forge 1.7.10, the mod can relay ChromatiCraft progression messages and ServerUtilities AFK messages.

  4. Editable configuration

    Every option is set in nilcord.toml, so the bridge can be adjusted without changing code.

Use cases

Community servers

Who it’s for: Server owners who want a Discord channel linked to their Minecraft chat, across a wide spread of game versions.

Questions

Does Nilcord need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API and MixinBooter are required dependencies, so both must be installed alongside Nilcord.

Do players need Nilcord installed?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

Where are the settings kept?

All settings are in nilcord.toml, which the mod creates in the config folder on first launch.

Which formatting option applies to a given version?

Simplified Text Format and placeholders apply on 1.21.1 and below on Fabric, while QuickText applies from 1.21.2 upward on Fabric.

What the author says

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)! Nilcord connects the chat of your Minecraft server to a specified Discord text channel, using a Discord bot and (optionally) webhook.
