# shulker > Connects [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) and [Minecraft](https://minecraft.net) Servers by sending messages back and forth without any mods or plugins. ## In Action ![discord-mc](http://i.thedestruc7i0n.ca/I5anbg.gif) ## Features - Sends message to and from Vanilla Minecraft servers - Can send messages regarding advancements, when players join and leave, and player deaths - Can be run on a remote machine or locally on the same machine (see `IS_LOCAL_FILE` in the options below) - Allows admins to send commands to Minecraft through Discord ## Installation and usage Ensure you have Node v16.6+ installed. You can check the version you have installed with `node -v` in your terminal or command prompt. Create a Discord bot here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me Then, add the bot to your Discord server using the following link, replace the Client ID with that of your bot. ``` https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=&scope=bot ``` In your Minecraft server.properties, make sure you have the following and restart the server: ``` enable-rcon=true rcon.password= rcon.port=<1-65535> ``` Clone repository onto a server, copy ```config.example.json``` to ```config.json```, and edit it to enter your Discord bot details and to change any options (see below for details on the config file). Then, in the repository folder: ```sh yarn # or npm install yarn build # or npm run build yarn start # or npm run start ``` If you are running this on the same server as the MC server, enable the `IS_LOCAL_FILE` flag and update related options below. Otherwise, perform the following command on the server hosting (in a screen/tmux session or background process, make sure to replace your `YOUR_URL` with whatever URL you're using (`localhost:8000` if running on the same server and default config) and `PATH_TO_MINECRAFT_SERVER_INSTALL` with the path to the Minecraft server installation, such as `/usr/home/minecraft_server/`): ``` sh tail -F /PATH_TO_MINECRAFT_SERVER_INSTALL/logs/latest.log | grep --line-buffered ": <" | while read x ; do echo -ne $x | curl -X POST -d @- http://YOUR_URL/minecraft/hook ; done ``` (The above command will also be given to you if you are not using a local file when you first start up Shulker) ### Configuration ```js { "PORT": 8000, /* Port you want to run the webserver for the hook on */ "DEBUG": false, /* Dev debugging */ "USE_WEBHOOKS": true, /* If you want to use webhooks rather than the Discord bot sending the messages (recommended) */ "WEBHOOK_URL": "DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE", /* Be sure to create a webhook in the channel settings and place it here! */ "IGNORE_WEBHOOKS": true, /* Ignore any messages that are sent by webhooks.
