We didn't plan to do another point update so soon, but we felt that the last update had a few flaws and issues which we couldn't ignore. One big one was the embed editor which had some design flaws, and due to discord adding components V2 midway through our effort on creating the editor, we decided to rewrite it from the ground up. The new editor now has support for our new variable selector, which should make using variables multiple times easier. It also makes it possible to use loops and buttons. This was a big step forward as now all the commands can be rendered in the editor. Below are some of the new additions.

Discord has support for timestamps which are shown in users own local time and are automatically translated to their language.

In case you need to get timestamp fast you can generate them below

Timestamp structure​

Timestamp consists of following structure

<t:UNIX:FORMAT>

Reaction roles (or Reaction Buttons, to be exact) are officially back! While they were a staple of our old website we weren't able to include them in the rework of website. We've have now brought them back shinier than ever before with more control and customization.

Why reaction buttons​

Most Discord bots support "classic" reaction roles (using emoji reactions), but they often feel clunky, old and are prone to failure. By shifting to button based roles we opened the door for greater creative control, reliability and visually appealing server setups.

New Features & Customization​

We didn't just bring reaction roles back; we couldn't resist the temptation to make them better. Here are the major changes.

Uploading an animated emoji requires discord Nitro. You’ll want a gif for the emoji and it's recommended to stay below 128px128p.

1. First head on over to the settings section in your server. 

2. Click the emoji’s section. You’ll now see the button to upload your gif.

3. Now, just upload the gif you’d like to have as your animated emoji.

3. You should be able to see a slider for developer mode in here. Simply enable it.

You’re now fully sorted for your developer mode needs. Go crazy!

What are Monni boosts?​

Monni boosts are ways to multiply point gain for a member. We give boosts if people meet requirements, such as boosting a server or having a role. 

Using Boosts with Monni​

First you’ll want to head over to your dashboard and choose the server you’d like to add boosts too. 

Now, click on the points module. 

You’ll now be able to see the “boosts section” on the top navbar. Give that a click. 

To create a boost, you’ll want to click the “add boosts” button. We’re now granted with a menu for editing our boost. There are three sections.

Getting an Emoji ID is actually very easy, and useful to know how to do. ID's can only be gotten from custom made emojis.

1. Start by heading to the the discord guild with the emoji's that you'd like to get the ID of. Now find a channel where you can chat.

2. Type into the chat the backslash " \ " character.

3. Now, just type the custom emoji you'd like right after it. The ID will appear to the rightmost part of your message.

You now have your Emoji ID! Use for all your niceties.

We've got huge plans for premium and we're gonna talk about them. Currently we've released premium in "Alpha Stages". This just means not everything has been added. During this time there is a 20% discount on premium. Those that do subscribe during alpha stages will maintain this subscription for as long as they hold the subscription. They will also hold a permanent "Alpha Tester" role. Of course, any features we do add will be functional and remain without drastic change. You'll begin to see the features in this blog roll out over the following months.

We tend to base our premium features around melding modules into one another as this creates the most useful and also original tools. Some of our planned features you can see below. (:

Cross Server Features.​

Can you imagine a world where you ban somebody from your server, and they also get banned from every other server you own? Or you give somebody a role, and another can be chained and granted to them, not just in one server, but in multiple.

After around 6 months of near daily development and hundreds of hours of total development time if not over a thousand. We are finally ready to release the new point update. This is the largest scale update we have ever done.

Using a role ID, you can do a few different things that may be necessary for a bot or integration to properly function, like interacting with Discord's API to assign certain roles to members. This guide will take you through the steps to quickly find a role ID!

Finding a Role ID​

Locating the role ID first requires turning on Discord's Developer Mode which enables options in menus that are primarily used to aid in working with the Discord API.
