Aurora Bot

A personal Discord bot where I test ideas and ship features. Focused on clean slash commands, quick utilities, and a few fun interactions.

• Actively developed and used on real servers
• Slash commands only, auto-registered
• Mix of fun, utility, and moderation tools

---

🚀 Tech Stack

• Node.js 18.18+
• discord.js v14
• dotenv for environment variables
• colorette for clean colored logs

---

📦 Installation & Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/theosanct0s/aurorabot.git
   cd aurorabot

2. Rename the .env file:

   from .env.example to .env

3. Configure your environment variables in .env:

   DISCORD_TOKEN=bot_token_here
   APPLICATION_ID=bot_id_here
   OWNER_ID=owner_id_here
   EMBED_COLOR=#aa8ed6 (The hex color used for all bot embeds)

4. In the Discord Developer Portal, enable the Message Content Intent for the bot (needed to reply to mentions).
5. Install dependencies:

   npm install

6. Start the bot:

   node .

⚠️ Slash commands are registered globally; Discord may take a few minutes to propagate them.
