Linked Roles

Linked Roles are a Discord feature: a role that members can only get by connecting an app. With MC Linker, you can make a role that only players with a linked Minecraft account can get, and MC Linker shows up under their profile's connections.

Before you start

Members need a linked Minecraft account. Any link counts, global or per-server.

Set it up (admins)

  1. Open Server Settings › Roles and create a role (or edit one), for example Verified Player.
  2. Open the Links tab of the role and click Add requirement.
  3. Choose MC Linker and the requirement Has Minecraft Account.
  4. Save.

Get the role (members)

  1. Click your server's name and choose Linked Roles.
  2. Pick the role and connect MC Linker.
  3. Authorize MC Linker in the window that opens. You'll see You have been authorized as …! You can now close this window and go back to Discord.
  4. Back in Discord, claim the role.

If you haven't linked your Minecraft account yet, run /account connect first. If you link later, MC Linker updates your connection by itself.
