Overview
Red is a fully modular bot – meaning all features and commands can be enabled/disabled to your liking, making it completely customizable. This is a self-hosted bot – meaning you will need to host and maintain your own instance. You can turn Red into an admin bot, music bot, trivia bot, new best friend or all of these together!
Red is built for Discord, a popular VOIP and instant messaging platform. It's best suited for use in guilds (also known as servers), where it utilizes Discord's well-documented API to communicate and deliver its many features. Discord offers its API to encourage developers to explore their creativity by building programs, tools, and services that enhance the Discord experience.
Installation is easy, and you do NOT need to know anything about coding! Aside from installing and updating, every part of the bot can be controlled from within Discord.
The default set of modules includes and is not limited to:
- Moderation features (kick/ban/softban/hackban, mod-log, filter, chat cleanup)
- Trivia (lists are included and can be easily added)
- Music features (YouTube, SoundCloud, local files, playlists, queues)
- Stream alerts (Twitch, Youtube, Picarto)
- Bank (slot machine, user credits)
- Custom commands
- Imgur/gif search
- Admin automation (self-role assignment, cross-server announcements, mod-mail reports)
- Customisable command permissions
Additionally, other plugins (cogs) can be easily found and added from our growing community of cog repositories.
