Spigot <-> Telegram bridge plugin

This plugin will send chat messages from Minecraft to Telegram, and from Telegram to Minecraft.

How to use:

  1. Download .jar file from releases page, and put it in plugins/ directory on your server OR clone this repo and run gradle inside repo's directory.

  2. If you already have telegram bot, skip this step. Otherwise create it through BotFather. You'll go through step-by-step instructions, give a bot username and most importantly, obtain a bot token. Save this token for future use. Note: in order to make your bot hear raw text messages (not commands), you must disable privacy mode option which is on by default. Go through bot's settings: Bot Settings -> Group Privacy and click Turn Off.

  3. Next, you need to tell plugin about your new bot. You can either:

    • Run Spigot server, plugin will log "No config file found! Saving default one.". After that, stop server and proceed to 4th step.
    • Copy config.yml to plugins/SpigotTGBridge/ in your server directory.
  4. A config.yml is just a valid YAML file, alternative for JSON, but more human-readable. Now, take bot's token which you got in 2nd step and paste them into config.yml, so it looks like this:

    botToken: abcdefghijklmnopq123123123
    # other configuration values...
  5. Run spigot server.

  6. Add you bot to chats, where you plan to use it. In each of them, run /chat_id command. The bot should respond and give special value - chat id. Now, open config.yml and paste this ID under chats section, so it will look like this:

    botToken: abcdefghijklmnopq123123123
    chats: [
      -123456789,
      987654321,
      # other chat id's...
    ]
  7. You can extend config.yml with more tweaks, which are described in the table below, but it's not nesessary, plugin will use default values instead, if they're missing. Also, check out the example.

  8. Re-run server or type tgbridge_reload into server's console.
