Custom Bot: Your Bot. Your Branding. Your Server.

You want a Discord bot that wears your name, shows your avatar and runs your presence — without maintaining a hosting stack yourself? That is exactly what the TeraOne Custom Bot is for.

What it does

You store your Discord application token once, and TeraOne hosts a dedicated bot client per server. Included:

• Your own bot name & identity — username, discriminator and application ID are pulled from Discord automatically.
• Avatar & banner upload — PNG or JPG up to 8 MB per file, mirrored locally (independent of the Discord CDN), undoable via a Reset button.
• Presence status — four modes: online, idle, dnd (do not disturb) and invisible. Switched live, no bot restart required.
• Activity types — Playing, Streaming, Listening, Watching, Competing and Custom Status, with custom text and an optional stream URL for Twitch or YouTube.
• Secure token storage — your token is stored encrypted and never transmitted in cleartext. Before saving it is validated against the Discord API so typos are caught immediately.
• Live status monitoring — five phases (pending, starting, online, offline, error) in the dashboard, including a retry button on errors.

How to set it up

1. Create a Discord application in the Developer Portal.
2. Copy the bot token from the Bot section.
3. Open Dashboard → Custom Bot and paste the token.
4. TeraOne checks the format, verifies ownership against the Discord API and stores the token securely.
5. Upload avatar and banner, set presence and activity — done.

The bot starts running immediately. No cron jobs, no own server, no docker-compose juggling. The rest is configured in the dashboard.

Tips for better results

• Set a persistent presence instead of changing it via a script — your bot reapplies it on every start, robust against Discord reconnects.
• Stream activity with a Twitch URL makes the bot extra visible — the LIVE indicator works as you would expect.
• A 512×512 PNG avatar renders crisply everywhere on Discord, including mention popovers and audit embeds.

FAQ

Do I need hosting experience for the Custom Bot? No. You only create a Discord application in the Developer Portal and paste the bot token into the dashboard. TeraOne handles hosting, restart handling and status monitoring.

Is my bot token stored safely? Yes. The token is stored encrypted in a Postgres database in Germany, never transmitted in cleartext and deleted on uninstall.

Which slash commands does my Custom Bot have? The same ones as TeraOne itself: every module (moderation, welcome, …) and its slash commands are registered automatically on the Ready event of your custom bot.
