Your Own Bot

Discord Active Developer Badge

This project is meant to be a very basic template Discord bot for interested developers who want Discord's Active Developer Badge.

Preparing Your Bot

You will need to own a Discord Bot ready with a token. Do not use a bot you do not own, and do not use a bot that already has another purpose. Try to create a new bot for this. Visit the Discord Developer Portal to create a New Application

• Find the "Bot" tab on the left side and click "Add Bot"

• In the "Bot" tab, click "Reset Token" and copy it. You will need this to run your bot.

• Find the "OAuth2" tab and go to "URL Generator"

• Under "scopes" select "bot"

• Under "bot permissions" you can just select "Administrator"

• Copy the Generated URL and open it to invite the bot to a server you manage and feel comfortable having the bot in. You can always kick the bot after you get the badge.

How to Use It

• Git Clone this repository or download it

• Open it, preferably with IntelliJ IDEA

• Edit the YourOwnBot.java file and replace the "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" with your Discord Bot Token.

• Run the YourOwnBot.java file(its main method)

• Go to the Discord server you added your bot to

• Use the /badge command that's from your bot

• Wait about 24 hours for Discord to recognize your bot and global command.

• Visit the Active Developer Badge Page to claim your badge
