Connects Discord and Minecraft Servers by sending messages back and forth without any mods or plugins.

In Action

discord-mc

Features

  • Sends message to and from Vanilla Minecraft servers with no plugins or mods
  • Can send messages regarding
    • Advancements
    • Players joining and leaving
    • Player deaths
  • Webhooks for sending messages
  • Allows members with specific roles to send commands to Minecraft through Discord
  • Can be run on a remote machine or locally on the same machine (see IS_LOCAL_FILE in the options below)

Installation

Ensure you have Node v16.6+ installed. You can check the version you have installed with node -v in your terminal or command prompt.

Create a Discord bot here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

  • Important: Ensure that the Bot has the Server Members Intent and the Message Content Intent (available on the "Bot" tab in your Application settings)

Then, add the bot to your Discord server using the following link, replace the Client ID with that of your bot.

https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<CLIENT ID>&scope=bot

In your Minecraft server.properties, make sure you have the following and restart the server:

enable-rcon=true
rcon.password=<your password>
rcon.port=<1-65535>

Clone this repository onto a server, copy config.example.json to config.json. And edit the following config fields:

Set DISCORD_TOKEN to the Discord Bot token that you created.

Set MINECRAFT_SERVER_RCON_IP, MINECRAFT_SERVER_RCON_PORT, and MINECRAFT_SERVER_RCON_PASSWORD to the ip, rcon port, and rcon password respectively for your server. (127.0.0.1 can be used if Shulker is running on the same server as your Minecraft server)

If you are running Shulker on the same server as your Minecraft server, set IS_LOCAL_FILE to true and update LOCAL_FILE_PATH to the full path to your Minecraft server's latest log file. (ex: minecraft_server/logs/latest.log)

If you want to have Shulker running on a remote server, see Remote below.

With developer mode (Settings > Appearance > Developer Mode) enabled, right click the channel you wish to have Shulker send messages to and click "Copy ID". Set DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID to this value.

Create a webhook in the channel (Right click on channel > Edit Channel > Integrations > Create Webhook or New Webhook), copy it, and set WEBHOOK_URL to this value.

Finally, start Shulker.

npm install
npm run build
npm run start

FAQ

  • How do I make this work on a modded server?

    • Try replacing REGEX_SERVER_PREFIX with "\\[Server thread/INFO\\] \\[.*\\]:"
  • Why can't I send commands even if I have the option enabled?

    • Make sure that you have a role on the server which is put in the array SLASH_COMMAND_ROLES_IDS.
      • e.g. "SLASH_COMMAND_ROLES_IDS": ["<role id>"]
  • I am using a local file and no messages are being sent!

    • Enable DEBUG in the config to check for any errors.
    • If you are on Windows, try enabling FS_WATCH_FILE.

Remote Setup

Perform the following command on the server hosting the Minecraft server (in a screen/tmux session or background process, make sure to replace your YOUR_URL with whatever URL you're using (localhost:8000 if running on the same server and default config) and PATH_TO_MINECRAFT_SERVER_INSTALL with the path to the Minecraft server installation, such as /usr/home/minecraft_server/):

tail -F /PATH_TO_MINECRAFT_SERVER_INSTALL/logs/latest.log | grep --line-buffered ": <" | while read x ; do echo -ne $x | curl -X POST -d @- http://YOUR_URL/minecraft/hook ; done

(The above command will also be given to you if you are not using a local file when you first start up Shulker)

Upgrade Instructions

From version 2 to version 3:

  • The main change is that you need to split your REGEX_MATCH_CHAT_MC to both REGEX_MATCH_CHAT_MC and REGEX_SERVER_PREFIX. See the configuration above for details.

Upcoming

None
