Server setup for admins

The Catch ’Em Cord wiki: how the game works, straight from the game’s own rules.

All wiki pages

Anyone with Manage Server can run /config. The first time, it walks you through two quick steps: where Pokémon spawn, and where level-ups go. After that it’s one dashboard.

Spawn channels

  • Pick up to 20 channels for spawns, or leave it empty to spawn everywhere.
  • Pick exactly one channel and you can turn on Redirect: the whole server’s chat spawns Pokémon into that one channel.
  • Threads and forum posts work. Voice channel chat doesn’t.
  • Admins can’t change the spawn rate. It’s the same in every server.

Everything else on the dashboard

  • Level-ups: post them in the channel, in your spawn channel, or turn them off.
  • /show: on or off.
  • Command tweaks: turn off /encounter, /battle, /trade, /show or /leaderboard, or limit them to certain channels.
  • Time zone: sets your server’s day and night. A change locks for 3 days.
  • Language: set with /language server.

Permissions

In every spawn channel the bot needs View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links and Attach Files. /config warns you if one is missing.

Run /config and you’re good to go!
