# Mention users from Minecraft

Online Config Editor

You can edit your config files, using our online config editor at https://editor.firstdark.dev. Alternatively, use the sdconfigeditor command in your console to edit your config live on the server, using the web interface.

Simple Discord Link allows you to mention discord users, roles and channels from Minecraft, when the mod is installed client side as well.

For this to work, you need to have allowMentions set to true in your config file on the server.

# Mentioning Roles/Users from Minecraft

To mention a role or user, open up your chat and type [@ to show the user/role suggestions popup. Find the user you want to ping from that list, and press enter (this works the same way as command suggestions). Make sure your mention then ends with another ].

So for example, [@hypherionsa] where @hypherionsa was selected from the popup.

Only roles that can be mentioned by everyone will show up in this list

# Mentioning Channels

Mentioning channels work the same way as role/user mentions, except you will type [# to trigger the suggestions popup.

An alternative way to do this is to use the special <@userid>, <@roleid> or <#channelid> mention format.
