# SDLink Basic Mod Setup

# Video Guide


This will go through the basics of getting the mod installed with bot status and chat features

# Installing the mod

SDLink requires CraterLib as a dependency. Download and transfer the mod files to the mods/ folder

Download from Modrinth - Download from Curseforge


At first run an empty config file will be generated: config/simple-discord-link/simple-discord-link.toml
See: Empty Config

# Configuration Settings

# Add the Bot Token

In the [botConfig] section, insert the bot token saved from Discord Bot Setup

[botConfig]
	botToken = "MTE2ODIyMDUyMDM3MDY3OTgzOA.Gjx_DN.1Xl0ZwC63e8sk3Iy9LWDhu2l9DD0oSIr39RcOI"
	#How often the Bot Status will update on Discord (in Seconds). Set to 0 to disable
	statusUpdateInterval = 30

This is the identifier for your bot. This token will be encrypted when your server starts up again.

 

# Setting the Chat Channel

To get the chat channel ID, right-click on the channel you want chat and events to go and select "Copy Channel ID"

In the [channelsAndWebooks.channels] section paste that ID in the chatChannelID field

[channelsAndWebhooks.channels]
	#REQUIRED! The ID of the channel to post in and relay messages from. This is still needed, even in webhook mode
	chatChannelID = "1143258591260856360"
	#If this ID is set, event messages will be posted in this channel instead of the chat channel
	eventsChannelID = "0"
	#If this ID is set, console messages sent after the bot started will be relayed here
	consoleChannelID = "0"

This is the bare minimum needed to get the bot up and running with a status
