Yet Another Discord Chat Link
by Jonas_Jones
Yet Another Discord Chat Link connects in-game chat to a Discord channel, so messages pass between the server and Discord in both directions.
What it does
The mod relays messages between a Minecraft server's chat and one Discord channel. Setup centers on a Discord bot: a player with server access creates an application in the Discord developer portal, copies its ID into the mod's configuration and invites the bot to the target server. The bot must then have read and write permission on that channel before the link works. After editing the configuration, the server must be restarted for the change to take effect.
The mod is built for simplicity and keeps the setup to basic functionality, so it suits small servers that only need a chat bridge. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and Quilt across 17 release versions, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which makes it open source. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Two-way chat bridge
Messages typed in the game chat appear in a Discord channel, and messages posted there reach the server.
Discord bot setup
A bot application with its own ID is created in Discord and invited to the server, then given channel permissions.
Configuration by ID
The bot ID and channel details are entered in the configuration file, and the server reads them on restart.
Permission check
The bot needs read and write access to the chosen channel, and a missing permission stops the link from working.
