Minecraft plugin DiscordSRV

🔌 About the plugin DiscordSRV

DiscordSRV — is a Minecraft server plugin that allows configurable bridging between your Minecraft server and a Discord server. It forwards chat both ways, supports account linking and role/group synchronization, can forward server console to a Discord channel (and run commands sent from that channel), and provides a customizable system of alerts and synchronization features. DiscordSRV is intended for Spigot/Paper‑based servers and is widely used where real‑time Discord ↔ Minecraft communication is required.

🎯 Purpose

• Provide a reliable chat bridge between Minecraft and Discord.
• Let players link their Minecraft account to a Discord account for identity and role syncing.
• Forward console messages into Discord and allow restricted execution of console commands from a Discord channel.

⚙ Main features

• Two‑way chat forwarding (Minecraft ↔ Discord).
• Minecraft account ↔ Discord account linking and verification.
• Group/role synchronization (Minecraft groups ↔ Discord roles).
• Console forwarding and remote command execution (configurable, channel‑restricted).
• Alerts system (broadcast server events to Discord channels).
• Multi‑language support and extensive formatting options. These features are documented in the official DiscordSRV docs and repository. ()

🧩 Who it fits

• Survival and community servers that want live Discord integration.
• Networks that need role synchronization or linked identities.
• Servers that require console‑to‑Discord monitoring or remote admin tools.
• Not required for minimal single‑player or local test setups.

🏗 Examples of use

• Forwarding in‑game chat to a public Discord channel and relaying Discord replies back into game.
• Linking player accounts so staff can verify identities and sync groups with Discord roles.
• Sending server start/stop, join/leave, and alert messages to Discord channels.

⌨️ Commands

Note: Deprecated commands such as /discord subscribe, /discord unsubscribe, and /discord toggle were removed in v15.3. ()

🔐 Permissions

Permissions and defaults are taken from the official documentation; use a permissions plugin (e.g., LuckPerms) to manage them. ()

⚙ Installation

📥 Installing

• Download the plugin .jar from an official source (GitHub/official site or approved distribution).
• Place the .jar into your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not use /reload).
• Check the console for successful load messages and generated configuration files. ()

📦 Dependencies (confirmed)

• LuckPerms (recommended for permission handling and proper group sync).
• PlaceholderAPI (for placeholders and expansions).
• Vault (when economy or external hooks are needed by addons).
• The plugin integrates with popular chat/vanish/multiverse hooks listed in the docs. ()

🧾 Configuration

• DiscordSRV generates its configuration files on first run (config.yml, synchronization.yml, messages.yml, etc.).
• Many options (channels, mapping, format) are configurable; some changes can be reloaded with /discord reload, while others require a full server restart. ()

Database

• Configuration and linking are file‑based by default (config files produced). Specific addons or features may offer external DB options; check documentation for migration steps. (If no explicit DB option is documented for a feature, assume file‑based storage.)

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts and limitations

• Some plugins that bundle older JDA versions or incompatible Discord libraries can conflict with DiscordSRV. Check addon compatibility (examples: some DiSky/other JDA‑based addons).
• Behavior in proxy (Bungee/Velocity) setups depends on configuration and supported builds—test on staging first. ()

Telemetry and metrics

• DiscordSRV is registered on bStats (plugin metrics), so servers may appear in public charts if they opt into metrics. ()

Support and community

• Official support resources include the project GitHub and the official documentation; the project also maintains an official Discord/community (see project pages). ()
