Discord Link

Discord Link

Straightforward mod that adds Discord integration to Hytale, letting you connect the in-game chat with a channel on your discord server, enabling bi-directional communication and more!

Supports both webhooks and direct bot communications

Invite link to help set Discord-server authorizations for the bot

3rd-party Avatar Support for clearer chat logs (at least until Hytale exposes player avatars/skins)

System-level messaging: server startup/shutdown, player join/leave

Custom bot status for displaying metrics like player count

Optional embedded message formatting/customization

Token and webhook encryption to prevent accidental leaks

More features coming soon!

Installation Instructions

Set up the Discord Bot:

Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/

Click the button to create a New Application

Set up General Information

Under the Bot tab, enable Presence, Server, and Message intents

Copy down the Token

Prep the Discord Channel:

Right-click > "Copy Channel ID" and note this down (May need to enable Developer Mode under Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode)

(Optional, though preferred) Right-click > Edit Channel > Integrations > Webhooks > New Webhook > "Copy Webhook URL" and note this down

Copy the jar to your mods folder

Set up the config file:

Launch and stop the server to generate the config file if it doesn't already exist

Paste your token in the token field

Paste the Channel ID into the channel_id field

(Optional) Paste the Webhook URL into the webhook_url field and set use_for_chat and use_for_events both to "true"

Follow the instructions/examples in the config file to further customize your setup

Launch the server

Look for "[DiscordLink|P] Bot invite URL (click to add to your server):" in the server logs -- click this link and follow the prompts to invite the Bot (the application you set up in Step 1) to your Discord server

Once the bot is in your server, make sure it has permissions to see/interact with the channel you set up in Step 2 (which are separate from the authorizations granted in 5.1)
