This is a minimalistic example of a bot using Lavalink. This example is based upon Lavalink-Client for Java.
https://github.com/freyacodes/lavalink-client
This uses Lavaplayer to load tracks rather than initially loading tracks via Lavalink. Non-JVM (Java) bots will need
to query the /loadtracks endpoint.
This guide assumes the following:
- You have a Lavalink node already running
- You have a Discord bot and its token
- You have a shell in the same directory as this readme
- You have Java 11 or newer. Check with
java -version
Run this command. Gradle will download as needed, and will build and run the bot:
../gradlew run --args "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN ws://localhost:2333 youshallnotpass"Replace token, host, and password as needed.
Replace ../gradlew with ../gradlew.bat if on Windows.
Only one command is currently supported, and only the first or selected track of a playlist or search will be played. Example usages:
