To start up, run the bot once, and it will generate a config
directory. Stop the bot, and set the up all the following values:
systems.json
jdaBotToken
to your bot's tokenadminUsers
which, e.g., can manipulate the database){guildId}.json
moderation.logChannelId
to a channelIdmoderation.staffRoleId
to a roleIdmoderation.adminRoleId
to a roleIdjam.adminRoleId
to a roleIdNOTE: Don't forget to enable the Presence Intent, Server Members Intent and Message Content Intent on the Discord Developer Portal!
Note that this is just what is required for the bot to start. Certain features may require other values to be set.
The bot's configuration consists of a collection of simple JSON files:
systems.json
contains global settings for the bot's core systems.{guildId}.json
file exists, which contains any guild-specific configuration settings.At startup, the bot will initially start by loading just the global settings, and then when the Discord ready event is received, the bot will add configuration for each guild it's in, loading it from the matching JSON file, or creating a new file if needed.
We're using DIH4JDA as our Command/Interaction framework, which makes it quite easy to add new commands.
/**
* <h3>This class represents the /ping command.</h3>
*/
public class PingCommand extends SlashCommand {
/**
* The constructor of this class, which sets the corresponding {@link net.dv8tion.jda.api.interactions.commands.build.SlashCommandData}.
*/
public PingCommand() {
setCommandData(Commands.slash("ping", "Shows the bot's gateway ping.")
.setGuildOnly(true)
);
}
@Override
public void execute(@NotNull SlashCommandInteractionEvent event) {
event.replyEmbeds(new EmbedBuilder()
.setAuthor(event.getJDA().getGatewayPing() + "ms", null, event.getJDA().getSelfUser().getAvatarUrl())
.setColor(Responses.Type.DEFAULT.getColor())
.build()
).queue();
}
}
