# 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) ## Installation and usage 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, edit ```config.json``` (see below for more info) and change any options, and then, in the repository folder: ```sh $ yarn $ yarn start ``` If you are running this locally, check the `IS_LOCAL_FILE` flag and related options below. Otherwise, perform the following command: On your 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 ``` You can also easily Deploy to Heroku and the like, just be sure to edit `YOUR_URL` in the command to match accordingly.
