Discord RPC integration?

[hazelthatsme]

Role

I use it as my main method of playing Minecraft, and like people knowing how I'm playing.

Suggestion

I want Prism Launcher to forward the player status (what instance is running, what version, how long they've been playing, possibly how many mods are installed) to Discord Rich Presence.

Benefit

This could allow for a more universal way to announce your status to Discord friends, rather than downloading mods for different versions.

This suggestion is unique

• I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

I do think if it is implemented it might do good to have a flag per instance, in case the user does prefer to have status updates from a mod in their instance.

In terms of determining what instance is running, maybe the last launched?

Adding the option for custom Discord application tokens, just like the Microsoft authentication, would also be great!

This would be awesome, we have mods but you would need to install them separately for each instance and set configs.

Discord's SDK is unforunately closed source... but there are some open source reimplementations out there! I'm not sure if there's a C++ one though.

After doing some research it seems like the old https://github.com/discord/discord-rpc still works fine.

Little update: it seems like this is unlikely to be a feature in the launcher as mods can do this better.

Thats assuming user has mods, what if they don’t?

We can not add Discord's RPC SDK to Prism Launcher as it's proprietary and therefore incompatible with our software license.
Apart from that, the launcher doesn't know a lot of what you are doing in-game, so any Discord RPC mod is going to be able to provide more information than the launcher. I would therefore say that this is out of scope for Prism Launcher.

Maybe we should implement something like this?
Maybe in the Prism namespace - although multimc could be added too for compat I suppose
