Javacord Bot

This is the bot used on the Javacord server.

I just want to use Javacord :-(

In this case you are wrong here. Just head over to the Javacord repository.

What's the difference to the example bot

The example bot is exactly what its name suggests: A bot which is solely used as an example for Javacord. It tries to cover some basic concepts to give you an idea how a bot using Javacord may look like. It is kept simple and has very verbose comments.

This bot however is actually used on our Discord Server and thus may contain a lot of specific features which are most likely not relevant to you. Simplicity also is not a goal for this bot, but you can still use this bot as a reference if you want to.

How to build it

To build a distribution archive execute ./gradlew distTar or ./gradlew distZip.

How to run it ...

... locally

  • execute ./gradlew installDist
  • (optional) store your discord api token in a text file
  • execute build/install/javacord-bot/bin/javacord-bot <token> or build/install/javacord-bot/bin/javacord-bot <path to the file with the token>

... manually

  • copy the built distribution archive from build/distributions/ to the system where you want to run it
  • unpack the archive somewhere
  • (optional) store your discord api token in a text file
  • execute javacord-bot/bin/javacord-bot <token> or javacord-bot/bin/javacord-bot <path to the file with the token>

... with Docker

  • build the Dockerfile with docker build .
  • run the generated image. The token has to be provided with the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable
