Simple Discord Link
by hypherionsa
Simple Discord Link connects a Minecraft server to a Discord channel through a chat-link bot, with whitelisting and access control handled from the same setup.
What it does
The mod runs a Discord bot that relays messages between a server's chat and a linked Discord channel. Server owners can pair accounts so that a Discord user is matched to a player name, and access rules decide who may join. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs it.
Installation needs CraterLib on every loader the server uses, since it is the required dependency. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published too. The code is open source under the MIT License, with a public source repository, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Discord chat link
A bot relays chat between the Minecraft server and a Discord channel, so both communities read the same conversation.
Whitelisting
Whitelisting can be tied to Discord accounts, letting the server admit only players who are linked to an approved user.
Access control
Rules govern who may join and which roles count as allowed, with access decisions made on the server side.
Server status overview
Discord members can check a quick overview of server status and see which players are currently active.

Use cases
Community servers
Server owners who run a public community can use the channel link to answer questions and announce events in Discord.
Whitelisted servers
Servers that limit entry to approved members can tie the whitelist to Discord accounts instead of managing names by hand.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want a Discord channel attached to their Minecraft server and a whitelist managed alongside it. Players need nothing installed on their side.
