In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of adding Aternos to your Discord server. Aternos is a popular Minecraft server hosting platform that allows you to create and manage your own Minecraft servers. Integrating Aternos with Discord can help streamline your server management tasks and enhance the gaming experience for your community.
Step 1: Creating an Aternos Account
If you don’t already have an Aternos account, visit their website at aternos.org and sign up for a new account. It’s completely free and only takes a few moments. Once you’ve created your account, log in to proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Creating a Minecraft Server on Aternos
After logging in, you will be redirected to the Aternos dashboard. Click on the “Create” button to start creating your Minecraft server.
Enter a name for your server and select the version of Minecraft you want to use. You can also customize other settings such as the maximum number of players and world type.
Server Customization Options:
- Server Name: Choose a unique name for your server that represents its purpose or theme.
- Minecraft Version: Select the version of Minecraft that you want your server to run on.
- Maximum Players: Set the maximum number of players allowed on your server at any given time.
- World Type: Choose between various world generation options such as default, superflat, or customized worlds.
Step 3: Obtaining Your Server IP Address
Once your Minecraft server on Aternos is successfully created and online, you need to obtain the server IP address to connect it with Discord. To find your server’s IP address, go back to the Aternos dashboard and click on your server. The IP address will be displayed in the “Server Address” section.
Step 4: Adding Aternos Bot to Your Discord Server
Now that you have your Aternos server set up and the IP address handy, it’s time to add the Aternos bot to your Discord server. Follow these steps:
- Visit the Aternos Bot website: Open a new browser tab and go to aternos.org/bot.
- Select Your Server: Click on the “Add Bot” button and select the Discord server where you want to add Aternos.
- Authorize the Bot: Grant necessary permissions for the bot by clicking on “Authorize”. Make sure you have sufficient privileges on your Discord server.
- Link Your Aternos Account: After authorizing, you will be prompted to link your Aternos account with Discord.
Follow the instructions provided by the bot.
- Add Server IP Address: Once linked, use the command “!add {your_server_ip}” in any channel of your Discord server. Replace “{your_server_ip}” with the IP address obtained in Step 3.
Step 5: Verifying Integration
To verify if everything is working correctly, visit any channel on your Discord server and type “!mcstatus”. The Aternos bot will respond with the status of your Minecraft server, indicating whether it is online or offline.
Additional Bot Commands:
- !start: Starts your Aternos Minecraft server.
- !stop: Stops your Aternos Minecraft server.
- !status: Displays the current status of your Aternos Minecraft server.
- !players: Lists the players currently connected to your Aternos Minecraft server.
Congratulations! You have successfully added Aternos to your Discord server. Now you can easily manage and monitor your Minecraft server using Discord as a centralized platform for communication and control.
Note: Keep in mind that the Aternos bot is constantly being updated with new features and improvements, so make sure to stay updated with their official website for any changes or additional commands.
