ModBot

ModBot is an open source moderation bot with advanced features developed by Aternos.

It uses modern Discord features like slash-commands, context-menus, timeouts, buttons, select-menus and modals and offers everything you need for moderation. Including bad-words and auto-responses with support for regex, detecting phishing urls, temporary bans, a strike system, message logging and various other forms of automatic moderation filters.

Screenshots

Moderating users or viewing information is faster than ever thanks to buttons, modals and context menus:

ModBot will prevent accidentally punishing a user twice by warning the moderator if another moderator has punished this user in the last 5 minutes.

Add ModBot to your server

You can view all commands by typing a slash / in the text input field. All commands and options have clear descriptions.

We also have a Discord server.
Please note: ModBot is a side project for us. We don't earn any money with it and primarily develop it for use on our own servers. We can't help with every problem and won't add features that we don't need.

Getting Started

You can view the settings with /settings overview
To set up a log channel use /settings log-channel <#channel>

If you think you found a bug in ModBot then please create an issue.
For security issues please refer to the SECURITY.md.

Self Hosting

If you want to host the bot yourself you can use our pre-built docker image or install it directly. In both cases you will need a MySQL database and a Discord application:

Create a Discord application and enable the SERVER MEMBERS intent. The bot needs this to reassign the muted role when a muted user joins your server
Add a bot to the application and copy the auth token
Configure the bot (see CONFIGURATION.md)
To invite the bot to your server replace ID with the client ID of your application https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=ID&scope=bot%20applications.commands&permissions=1099780074646 and open the link
Follow the instructions for the installation method you want to use
