Account linking connects a player's Minecraft account directly to their Discord profile. Setting this up helps you know exactly who is talking, lets you reward community participation, and unlocks role and nickname synchronization.
Requiring Players to Link Accounts
If you want to keep unverified users out until they connect their profiles, you can enforce linking rules directly through the plugin files:
1. Navigate to your plugin folder and open linking.yml.
2. Adjust the rules inside this file to require players to link their Minecraft and Discord accounts before they are allowed to play on the server.
3. Configure optional incentives in the plugin settings if you want to reward players with in-game items or perks for joining your Discord community or boosting the server.
4. Save the file and execute /discordsrv reload so the new verification rules take effect right away without a server restart.
Checking Linked Profiles
Once players begin connecting their accounts, staff and players can verify identities directly from the game:
1. Open your in-game chat box or server console.
2. Run the /discord linked command to check verified players and view which Minecraft username belongs to which Discord profile.
Keeping accounts linked ensures your moderation team always knows who is active across both platforms.
