Modern's Discord Bridge

Modern's Discord Bridge connects your Hytale world chat with a Discord channel using your own Discord bot.

Send Hytale chat to Discord, relay Discord messages back into Hytale, announce joins/leaves/deaths, and let Discord users run !players to see who is online.

Features

• Two-way chat relay between Hytale and Discord
• Discord to Hytale emoji cleanup, including Unicode emoji aliases like :smile: and custom Discord emoji names like :name:
• Player join and leave announcements
• Player death announcements with Hytale death-message support and fallback death reasons
• Discord !players command for online player lists
• In-game setup UI with /mdb
• Secure token handling in the setup UI, with token fields masked
• Permission-gated setup command so regular players cannot edit bridge settings
• World/server config generation on first launch

Installation

1. Download moderns-discord-bridge-1.0.jar.
2. Stop your Hytale server or close your Hytale world.
3. Put the jar into your Hytale mods folder.

For a dedicated server, place the jar in that server's mods folder.

2. Open the setup UI in game with:

1. Paste your Discord bot token and Discord channel ID, then press Save.
2. Restart the world/server if Discord does not connect immediately after saving.

Discord Bot Setup

Create a Discord application and bot in the Discord Developer Portal.

Enable these bot settings:

• Message Content Intent

Invite the bot to your server with these channel permissions:

• View Channel
• Send Messages
• Read Message History

Copy the bot token and your target channel ID into the /mdb setup UI.

Important: never share your Discord bot token. If it appears in a screenshot, log file, or public chat, regenerate it in the Discord Developer Portal.

Permissions

The /mdb setup UI is restricted. A player needs one of these permissions:

Give mdb.admin to trusted admins only. Players without permission cannot open the config UI.

Config Location

The mod generates its config inside the world/server plugin data folder. On a local world, it will look similar to:

Notes

This mod uses a Discord bot connection, not a webhook. Keep your bot token private and only give /mdb permission to trusted people.

Custom Discord emoji images are not rendered inside Hytale chat in version 1.0. They are converted to readable text aliases instead.
