This post guides you on connecting Minecraft Chat to Discord. We will cover the steps you must follow to successfully connect Minecraft Chat to Discord. Let’s get started!

Can You Connect Minecraft Chat to Discord?

Yes, you can. However, there is no direct way of doing it. Most solutions involve using plugins or a bot. The most effective approach is to use the DiscordSRV plugin, which offers a simple method.

We will focus on using the DiscordSRV plugin to connect the two. You must also create the Minecraft server on your PC before installing the plugins. The Minecraft server is required as it has the plugins folder where the DiscordSRV plugin will be added.

Moreover, the configuration file will be edited to accommodate the bot token and the channel ID where the Minecraft Chat will be used.
