Overview

A custom Discord bot built with Node.js and discord.js for server moderation, automation, and utility commands. Designed for a specific use case with modular features, slash commands, and role-based permissions.

SydneyBot — Custom Discord Bot for Server Management

SydneyBot is a custom-built Discord bot designed to streamline server moderation, automate repetitive tasks, and add quality-of-life features in a Discord community for my college program's students and alumni. Built in Node.js using discord.js, the bot includes a modular command system, permission handling, and utility commands.

Key Features

Slash command support with dynamic help menus
Role-based permissions for command access
Moderation tools (kick, ban, mute)
Fun commands and utilities (polls, reminders, quotes)

I created SydneyBot both as a personal project and as an opportunity to deepen my understanding of building bots for real-time communication platforms. The bot was deployed and actively used in a private server, where I iterated based on user feedback and server needs.

Technologies Used

Node.js
discord.js
MongoDB (for persistent data storage)

While SydneyBot was never intended to be a public bot, its architecture is clean, extensible, and open source. It’s a great starting point for anyone looking to build a custom Discord bot tailored to their community or workflow.
