Using developer mode

What is Developer Mode?

Developer mode is a Discord feature that allows you to access the internal IDs used by Discord to refer to certain objects, such as users, servers, messages, channels, and roles. These can be used in place of such options in MoonlightBot's commands.

Using Developer Mode

To use developer mode, you need to enable it first. Instructions for enabling developer mode are provided in the next section.

Whenever MoonlightBot asks for something like a user, channel, etc., you can provide the ID as an option to make sure it is pointing to exactly what you want.

Desktop/Web App

To copy the ID of an object in the desktop or web app, right-click the object and click on the Copy ID option.

Android App

For example, to copy the ID of a user in the Android app, tap on the user's profile, then tap on the three dots in the top right corner and click on Copy ID.

iOS App

For example, to copy the ID of a user in the iOS app, tap on the user's profile, then tap on the three dots in the top right corner and click on Copy ID.
