Discord-MC-Chat
If you run a Minecraft server, you know the challenge of keeping players connected whether they are in-game or hanging out in Discord. Discord-MC-Chat solves that problem elegantly. This powerful add-on creates a two-way bridge between your Minecraft world and your Discord server, so messages flow freely, server status is always visible, and commands can be executed from anywhere. It is the definitive tool for uniting your community across platforms.
What Makes Discord-MC-Chat Stand Out?
Originally known as MC-Discord-Chat and MCDiscordChat, this project has matured into a feature-rich, reliable bridge for Fabric and Quilt mod loaders. It supports modern Minecraft versions, including 1.19, 1.20, and the latest 1.21 updates, ensuring you can keep your server connected no matter which version you run. Whether you manage a small private server or a large network, Discord-MC-Chat for Minecraft scales to meet your needs with multi-server support, allowing several Minecraft servers to link to a single Discord guild without conflicts.
Core Features That Transform Your Server
The add-on goes far beyond simple chat mirroring. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools to integrate your Minecraft and Discord communities:
- Bidirectional Chat: Messages typed in Minecraft appear in a designated Discord channel, and Discord messages are broadcast in-game with full Markdown support, emoji rendering, and even sticker and hyperlink highlighting.
- Dynamic Server Status: Display live player counts and server status directly in Discord channel topics, voice channel names, or the bot's activity status. Players always know if the server is online and how many friends are playing.
- Remote Console Commands: Administer your server from Discord using slash commands. Execute console commands, view logs, reload the add-on configuration, or stop the server entirely—all without logging into the server panel.
- Customizable Broadcasts: Choose exactly which events get announced in Discord, from player joins and leaves to achievements, deaths, and even command executions. Exclude specific commands using regular expressions to avoid spam.
- Webhook Integration: Use a dynamic Discord webhook with a customizable avatar that can even pull skins from a compatible API, or fall back to the bot itself for message delivery.
- Multi-Language Support: The add-on speaks your language with 15 available translations, including English, Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, and more.
How to Install Discord-MC-Chat
Getting started is straightforward. First, ensure your Minecraft server runs on the Fabric or Quilt mod loader. Then, download Discord-MC-Chat from Modrinth, CurseForge, or GitHub. Place the JAR file into your server's mods folder. You will also need the Fabric API mod installed. After starting the server once, a configuration file will be generated in the config/discord-mc-chat directory. Open it and enter your Discord bot token and the channel IDs you want to use. Restart the server, and the bridge will activate.
If you prefer a more guided experience, the foxygame.net launcher simplifies the entire process. Its add-on catalog includes Discord-MC-Chat, so you can install it with a single click and let the launcher handle version compatibility and automatic updates, saving you from manual file management.
In-Game and Discord Commands
Once installed, players and admins gain access to a set of useful commands. In Minecraft, players can use /dmcc help to see available options, /dmcc info to check server status, and /dmcc stats to query scoreboard data. Admins can reload the configuration with /dmcc reload or manage the whitelist. On Discord, the same functionality is available through slash commands like /help, /console, and /whitelist. Permissions are fully adjustable, so you can grant specific roles access to admin commands without giving them operator status in-game.
Advanced Configuration and Customization
Every message format is customizable. You can disable specific broadcasts, such as death messages or advancement notifications, and tweak the appearance of chat messages to include role colors, timestamps, or custom prefixes. The add-on supports hot reloading, so changes to the config file take effect without a server restart. A backup of the configuration is created automatically each time it loads, and update checks can be configured to notify you in a dedicated Discord channel when a new version is available.
Why Your Server Needs Discord-MC-Chat
Community is the heart of any Minecraft server. Discord-MC-Chat for Minecraft tears down the wall between players who are online and those who are chatting in Discord. It keeps everyone engaged, makes administration more convenient, and adds a professional polish to your server's presence. The add-on is open-source under the MIT license, with a vibrant community and active development. Whether you are a seasoned server owner or just starting out, this bridge is an indispensable tool for building a connected, thriving player base.
