Linking your minecraft account
You can link your minecraft account with your discord account by doing /discord link ingame. This will give you a 4 digit code which you will have to pirvate message to the discord bot (see image below). This will set your discord username as your ingame one and it will auto update it when you change it.
Game Chat in discord
The in-game chat is a 2 way communication for staff with discord. Players can use it to read live in-game messages.
AFK Channel
Auto AFK is set to 5 minutes if you are in Voice Chat.
UI Choices & Photo Avatars
Personal preferences are set bottom left, there is a cog that when you hover over says “User settings”, Clicking appearance, there are options for a Dark theme and a Compact theme, select both of these, it makes the app 100x better, I wish I could default that to all users.
As I don’t control this server software, I cant add plugins to auto pull images for your minecraft character, you can set your image in this settings are too, to quickly get an image of your minecraft head put your username into this URL https://cravatar.eu/helmhead/GodsDead/256.png in a web browser and save the image to your desktop to add to discord.
