discord-ext-prettyhelp
An embed version of the built in help command for discord.py
Inspired by the DefaultHelpCommand that discord.py uses, but revised for embeds and additional sorting on individual pages that can be "scrolled" through with reactions.

By default, the help will just pick a random color on every invoke. You can change this using the color
argument:
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.prettyhelp import DefaultMenu, PrettyHelp
# ":discord:743511195197374563" is a custom discord emoji format. Adjust to match your own custom emoji.
menu = DefaultMenu(
page_left="\U0001F44D",
page_right="👎",
remove=":discord:743511195197374563",
active_time=5,
)
# Custom ending note
ending_note = (
"The ending note from {ctx.bot.user.name}"
"\nFor command {help.clean_prefix}{help.invoked_with}"
)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
bot.help_command = PrettyHelp(
menu=menu, ending_note=ending_note
)
The basic help
command will break commands up by cogs. Each cog will be a different page. Those pages can be navigated with
the arrow embeds. The message is unresponsive after 30s of no activity, it'll remove the reactions to let you know.
