Discord

The hye bot lives where your community already does.

Run release alerts, license delivery, server whitelists, and event RSVPs from your Discord server. Same Hye account. Zero copy-paste.

Open source. Hosted by Hye. Self-host coming.

Bot features

Built for the people who run things.

Release pings

Auto-post to a release channel when a creator you follow ships a new version. Filter by version type, MC version, or loader.

License delivery

Buyers receive their license key via DM right after checkout. They never see your inbox.

Server commands

/hye search, /hye install, /hye versions — search the catalog without leaving your channel.

Event RSVPs

RSVP to a hye event from Discord. Hosts decide whether RSVPs auto-grant a Discord role.

Whitelist sync

Wire RSVPs to your Minecraft server's whitelist. Going → added; clear → removed. Optional auto-removal post-event.

Moderation alerts

Staff get pinged when a project they're assigned to gets a report or DMCA notice. Acknowledge inline; the audit log records who saw it.

Server operations

For server owners on call at 3am.

Restart from chat

Restart and stop targets via slash command, gated by Discord role. Logs the actor and reason in the audit trail.

Per-version compatibility

Bot reads each plugin's loader / MC version range and blocks installs that don't match the running server.

Update polling

Daily check for new versions of installed plugins. Posts a digest to a channel of your choice.

Creator operations

For people shipping plugins.

New version digest

Auto-compose a release post (changelog, downloads link, MC versions, loader) when you publish.

Per-license DM

Each buyer gets their key in DM. No more pinging staff for keys.

Showcase channel

Pin your latest published projects to a channel. Updated automatically when you ship.

Event operations

Tie hye events to Discord.

RSVP from a thread

Hosts post the event in a Discord channel; members react to RSVP. The RSVP lands on hye and inherits the event's visibility rules.

RSVP → whitelist

For private servers: a 'Going' RSVP auto-adds the player to the Minecraft whitelist via the bot. RSVP cleared → removed at event end. Cleanup is auditable.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is the bot open source?: Source on GitHub at github.com/mrayden/hye-discord-bot. Run a fork against your own hye instance if you self-host.
What does it cost?: Free for any hye account. Hye doesn't charge per-message or per-guild.
Do buyers need Discord?: No. License delivery falls back to email when the buyer hasn't linked Discord.
Will RSVP → whitelist work without Bukkit?: For Bukkit-family servers, the bot pushes via RCON. Other servers can poll the hye API for the current whitelist via a creator-provided webhook.
