Minecraft-Bot
Welcome to the official information page for the custom Discord-Minecraft integration bot, built exclusively for CottontailVA's Patreon Exclusive Minecraft Server.

About
This bot bridges the gap between our Patreon Discord community and our private Minecraft server, ensuring seamless chat integration, role synchronization, and server status monitoring.
Credits & Technology:
Mod Framework: Simple Discord Link
Core development: First Dark Development

Server Access & Role Verification
To maintain a safe and exclusive environment, access to the CottontailVA Minecraft Server is strictly managed through Discord Linked Roles.
Tier Requirement:
Server access is a premium perk reserved exclusively for our dedicated supporters. To join the game, you must be an active Patreon supporter at the Knight Tier or higher.
How to Verify and Join:
Link Patreon to Discord: Ensure your Patreon account is connected to your Discord account in your Discord App settings (User Settings > Connections).
Claim Your Role: Navigate to the CottontailVA Discord server, click on the server name in the top left, and select "Linked Roles."
Verify: Select the Minecraft Access role. Discord will automatically check your Patreon status to confirm you are at the Knight tier or above.
Get Whitelisted: Once verified, you will gain access to the hidden Minecraft channels where you can submit your Minecraft Username (IGN) to the bot for whitelisting.
Note: If your Patreon pledge drops below the Knight tier, the bot will automatically remove your server access and whitelist status. If you are having trouble verifying, please open a support ticket in the Discord server.
