Installation

Prerequisites

• Java 17 or above.

• Basic knowledge of how to navigate and use Discord.

Creating and Adding the Bot

1. Go to Discord's Developer Portal.

2. Create a new application. Set the username and, optionally, the profile picture.

3. On the left menu, click Bot.

4. Click Create a Bot and set its username and, optionally, the profile picture.

5. Untick "Public Bot" so other people can't just invite your bot onto their server.

6. Tick "Message Content Intent" so the bot can access your messages.

7. Click Copy Token- you will need the bot's token for later.

8. Go to OAuth and for scope, select "bot" and "application.commands". For permission, tick either Administrator or all the permissions the bot needs (view channel, send messages, embed links).

9. Go to the link that is generated and follow the instructions to add the bot to the server(s) of your choice.

Starting the Bot

1. Run the StartEmbeddy.bat file (Windows) or execute your operating system's equivalent of java -jar Embeddy-{VERSION}.jar.

2. The bot will start loading. If this is your first time, a settings.yml will be generated.

3. Join our Discord server and request a license key.

4. Go to settings.yml and fill in your license key.

5. Fill in your bot token by pasting the token you copied from step 6 of Creating and Adding the Bot. Make sure the token is surrounded with "double quotes".

6. Save the file and restart the bot. Embeddy should now be successfully enabled if you followed all the steps correctly!

7. Congratulations! Your bot is now up and running. You can confirm this by going to your Discord server and checking the bot's status. It should now be Online.
