Discord Integration for Minecraft (lol)

Question

Hey, I’m a fairly new Java developer who has experience in Javascript, Lua & a little C#… I’m trying to create a Minecraft Client with Discord Integration using JDA, but since 4.2.0 has removed AccountType.CLIENT I am forced to use 4.1.1 (I think it is, anyway it’s the second latest release) but in using that, there is some issues with some of the methods and such…

I’m trying to use the getTextChannelById() but it always seems to return null… I assume this is because of using an outdated version and all that, anyone knows of a better way to do this without using something less efficient please share, and I really am trying to avoid webhooks or bots.

Personally, I don’t care what Discord ToS says… I don’t have to follow ToS, I can choose to.

To answer your question: getTextChannelById can be null for a number of reasons, among them

• wrong ID
• bot is not in the same guild
• JDA hasn’t finished loading
• possibly due to old/broke version? though 4.1 should still be okish
• broken AccountType.CLIENT support (see below)

If you’re looking for support, you should visit the JDA Discord.

Obligatory note regarding Selfbots:

• No, it is not your choice. You are using discord, thus you have to play by their rulebook. But by all means, don’t let me stop you from getting yourself banned!
• JDA has only removed AccountType.CLIENT recently, but dropped active support over a year ago. It’s most likely broken in several ways.
• Since it’s only part of an old release, it has no future. 4.1 will stop working eventually, and then your bot is useless.

TL;DR: Don’t do selfbots, kids.

An actual reply, thank you.
