🔗 AetherLink: Complete Discord ↔ Minecraft Bridge

Your server, live on Discord. Chat, console, events, economy and moderation in one plugin. AetherLink connects your Paper or Folia server to Discord with a single bot. It covers live status, two-way chat, console access, event feeds, admin slash commands, giveaways and secure account linking, and every part of it is configurable.

✨ Features

📡 Live Status Dashboard

• One embed that edits itself in place, refreshing every 3 seconds by default. It never spams your channel.
• 🟢 Online / 🔴 Offline indicator with a matching embed color
• Players online (with an optional player list), TPS, MSPT, ping, server version and your real server icon
• The bot's own Discord presence shows the live player count
• Toggle every field on or off and change the colors and refresh rate

💬 Two-Way Chat Bridge

• Minecraft chat appears in Discord, and Discord messages appear in-game
• Messages are sent through a webhook, so each one shows the player's real skin head and name
• Configurable formats and channel

🖥️ Console Bridge

• Live server console output streamed to a Discord channel
• Output is batched and rate-limited to stay inside Discord's limits
• Run console commands straight from Discord, restricted to the role you choose

📣 Event Feeds

• Join / Leave embeds with player heads and the current online count
• Deaths and Advancements in their own channels, or merged into one
• Fully editable message templates (MiniMessage supported)

🔐 Secure Account Linking

• Run /connect in-game, then DM the bot and run /link <code>
• Codes are single-use, expire quickly and are generated securely
• One Minecraft account per Discord account, with attempt limiting
• Unlink at any time with /unlink
• Linking only proves identity. Command permissions are still checked separately.

💰 Economy Integration

• Works with Vault and with MarketCore
• /balance, /pay, /daily-reward, plus admin /addmoney and /removemoney
• /shop and /auction show live MarketCore listings in Discord
• Detects your economy provider automatically, even if it loads late
• /aetherlink debug economy shows which provider is hooked

🎁 Giveaways

• Create giveaways from Discord with a prize, winner count and duration
• Button-based entry with a live entry counter
• Winners are pinged first, then an announcement embed follows
• End, edit or reroll any giveaway by its ID, shown in the embed footer

🛡️ Moderation From Discord

• Ban, unban, tempban, kick and view the ban list
• Teleport players, check coordinates and look up detailed player info
• Broadcast to the server and send custom embeds
• Actions are written to an audit log

🎨 Polished Embeds

• Every bot response is an embed with a consistent color scheme: green for success, red for errors, blurple for info and gold for giveaways
• Player-specific embeds show the actual skin head
• Rich /playerinfo shows playtime, balance, online state, last seen and linked Discord account

⚙️ Total Configuration

• Every channel, command and status field can be enabled or disabled on its own
• Per-command role requirements
• Editable messages.yml
• /aetherlink reload applies changes without a restart
