Remote Minecraft Server Start from Discord

A Discord bot that listens for a trigger phrase that will cause it to run a Minecraft server.

Dependencies

• Python3 version after 3.8, because discord.py requires it.
• discord.py, the Discord API wrapper used. This bot has been tested on v1.7.3.

Setup

Before running the bot from bot_main.py, you must set a few options in settings.json:

• trigger_word: the word or phrase you want the bot to look for to start the server.
• server_jar_path: the path to the server.jar file.
• server_working_directory: the place where you want all the server's files (e.g. map, server.properties, etc.) are.
• bot_token: the bot token you got from Discord's "My Apps page"

On Windows devices you must use double backslashes in your file and directory paths. otherwise the slashes will be treated as escape characters.
