Discord Bot Template with Python 3.x
This is a template for creating a custom Discord.py bot on repl.it. Make sure you read all of the comments as they contain vital information on how to get the bot up and running.
No Commands.ext
Warning, this does not use the Discord Python commands extension. I have never liked using it for my Discord bots, so I did not include it in this template.
Excessive Comments
I added a ton of comments to this so that the viewer might be able to decipher what I put down into this code. It's a compilation of all of the start up stuff I have learned over the years of amaking bots.
Repl.it Database Support
I also linked repl.it's built-in database because most of my bots use it. By default when the bot joins the server, it will automatically add a key, the guild id, with a value of "prefix": "z/". If you want to disable all this, simply delete anything that has to do with db.
How To Set-Up
If you do not want to read the messy comments in the code, here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to set it up below.
Creating the Bot
- Go to the Discord Bot Dev Portal and sign in.
- From there, go to applications
- Create a New Application
- Under General Information, you can change the bots bio under description.
- Click on Bot, here you can change the Username and Profile Picture
- Copy the bot's Token
- Ensure you check which intents your bot will need. If you don't check them all, make sure you change the Intents in the code.
Adding the Code
- Go to repl.it and log-in or create an account
- Go to this link and fork the repl. This is the template here.
- Open your repl. Click the left sidebar lock icon.
- Create a new secret, name this
TOKENwith a value of the copied bot token from earlier. - Overview the code to hopefully understand it.
Making it Run
- Go to UptimeRobot and sign-in / create an account

- Make the Monitoring Interval anything less than 60 minutes.
Inviting the Bot
