Inviting the Bot User to your Discord Server

3. Click the selection menu and choose the server where you want the bot - click Authorize.

Installing the MineCordBot plugin

1. Grab the latest version of the plugin from Spigot repositories. You can also check the announcements channel in our Discord Server

   • Alternatively, you can choose to build the bot from source.

2. Place the MineCordBot.jar you downloaded into your server's plugins directory.

3. Start or Restart your server to generate MineCordBot's files.

4. Edit the configuration files (Located at /plugins/MineCordBot) to configure the bot to your liking.
