Setup Custom Bot
Before we start:
Make sure you have the gold premium.
Make sure you have the premium enabled on your server with
/premium activate
1/ Go to Discord's developer portal and create an application
Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications, log in with your Discord account if this is not the case, and press the "New Application" button.

Give a name to your application, agree with Discord policies and press Create. Don't worry about it now, you can always change the name of your bot at any time!\

2/ Add a bot to your application
Go to the Bot tab of your application, and press Add Bot. You will get a confirmation modal, press Yes, do it!.

3/ IMPORTANT: Enable Intents
Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section and enable the "Presence Intent", "Server Members Intent” and the “Message Content Intent”.

4/ Get your token
Press the "Click to Reveal Token" or “Reset Token” button to see your token. You will get a confirmation modal, press Yes, do it!.


Now you should see your token, just like in the screenshot above, copy it!
This token is super secret and you should never give it to anyone else without knowing why or you risk someone else taking over your bot.
5/ Enable the bot on the dashboard
Enable by clicking the switch at the top right like this:

Set the token by clicking Edit bot token

Now input the bot token into the Bot token
field

Now all you have to do is press the Start
button and your custom bot is up and running!
Click add your bot
to add it to your server.

You can add some more configuration like bot activity and change the bot's prefix.
