Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js (v16 or later) installed on your machine.
• npm: Comes bundled with Node.js for installing dependencies.
• Discord Bot Token: You will need to create a Discord bot and get its token. Learn how.

Steps

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://git.ssh.surf/hypermc/hypermc-api-user-install-bot
   cd hypermc-api-user-install-bot
   

2. Install Dependencies Install all necessary dependencies using npm:

   npm install
   

3. Configuration You need to create a config.json file for the bot's configuration. Here's an example:

   {
     "token": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
     "clientId": "YOUR_DISCORD_CLIENT_ID",
     "endpoint": "YOUR_AUTHENTICATION_ENDPOINT",
     "password": "YOUR_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD"
   }
   

4. Run the Bot Once everything is configured, start the bot:

   node bot.js
   

Configuration

The config.json file must contain the following:

• token: The token for your Discord bot.
• clientId: The client ID of your bot from the Discord developer portal.
• endpoint: The authentication endpoint for obtaining user API tokens.
• password: The password required by the authentication service.

Here is an example config.json file:

{
  "token": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN",
  "clientId": "YOUR_DISCORD_CLIENT_ID",
  "endpoint": "https://your-auth-endpoint.com/auth",
  "password": "your-auth-password"
}

Commands

The bot provides the following commands to manage your Minecraft server:

• /server-time – Get the current server time.
• /server-stats – Get server statistics, including CPU and memory usage.
• /server-log – Retrieve the real-time server log URL.
• /start-server – Start the Minecraft server.
• /stop-server – Stop the Minecraft server.
• /restart-server – Restart the Minecraft server.
• /create-link – Create a custom server link.
• /create-sftp-link – Create an SFTP link.
• /get-connection-hash – Retrieve the server's P2P connection hash.
• /get-connection-hash-sftp – Retrieve the server's SFTP connection hash.
• /get-players – Get a list of players currently online on the server.
• /get-website-url – Get the server's website URL.
• /get-map-url – Get the server's map URL.
• /ban-player – Ban a player by username.
• /unban-player – Unban a player by username.
• /send-message – Send a message to all players on the server.
• /send-private-message – Send a private message to a specific player.
• /execute-console-command – Execute a command in the server console.
• /give-item – Give an item to a player.
• /install-mod – Install a mod on the server by its ID.
• /uninstall-mod – Uninstall a mod from the server by its ID.
• /get-installed-mods – List all installed mods on the server.

Token Handling

This bot automatically handles user API tokens. When a user runs any command, the bot checks if a valid token exists for that user. If not, it fetches and stores a new token via the configured authentication endpoint.

Tokens are stored in a tokens.json file on the server.

• fetchAndSaveToken: Automatically requests and stores a new API token if needed.
• getToken: Retrieves a stored token or requests a new one if none exists or if the token is invalid.

Token Persistence

The tokens are stored locally in a tokens.json file using the jsonfile package:

{
  "userId": "user-token"
}

The bot will load tokens from this file when needed and automatically refresh them if expired or invalid.

Usage

Once the bot is up and running, invite it to your Discord server. Users can run commands like /server-time or /start-server to interact with the Minecraft server.

Commands can be run either in public channels or privately, depending on how you've set up the bot. Some responses can also be made ephemeral (visible only to the user who executed the command).

For example:

• Running /server-stats will display current server stats like CPU and memory usage.
• Running /install-mod modid will install a specified mod on the server.

Example Command Usage

/server-stats
# Displays server statistics

/ban-player username:exampleUser
# Bans 'exampleUser' from the Minecraft server

/give-item username:exampleUser item:diamond amount:5
# Gives 5 diamonds to 'exampleUser'
