Python Discord Bot Template

This repository is a template that everyone can use for the start of their discord bot.

When I first started creating my discord bot it took me a while to get everything setup and working with cogs and more. I would've been happy if there were any template existing. But there wasn't any existing template. That's why I decided to create my own template to let you guys create your discord bot in an easy way.

Please note that this template is not supposed to be the best template, but a good template to start learning how discord.py works and to make your own bot in a simple way. You're

If you play to use this template to makw your own template or bot, please give me credits, it would be greatly appreciated.

How to setup

To setup the bot I made it as simple as possible. I now created a config.py file where you can put the needed things to edit.

Here is an explanation of what everything is:

Variable	What it is
BOT_PREFIX	The prefix(es) of your bot
TOKEN	The token of your bot
APPLICATION_ID	The application ID of your bot
OWNERS	The user ID of all the bot owners
BLACKLIST	The user ID of all the users who can't use the bot
STARTUP_COGS	The cogs that should be automatically loaded when you start the bot

How to start

To start the bot you simply need to launch, either your terminal (Linux, Mac & Windows) or your Command Prompt (Windows).

If you have multiple versions of python installed (2.x and 3.x) then you will need to use the following command:

python3 bot.py

or eventually

python3.8 bot.py

If you have just installed python today, then you just need to use the following command:

python bot.py

Built With

Python 3.8
