What Will You Learn?

  • Basic bot structure

1. Requirements
You’ll need:
  • Python 3.10+ (recommended: Python 3.12)
  • VS Code or any text editor
  • A Discord account
Download Python:
https://python.org
2. Creating a Discord Bot Application
Go to:
https://discord.com/developers/applications
Then:
  1. Click New Application
  2. Give your bot a name
  3. Click Create
Now:
  • Open the Bot tab
  • Click Add Bot
  • Confirm
Under the Token section:
  • Click Reset Token
  • Copy your token
  • NEVER share this token publicly
3. Enable Required Intents
Inside the Bot section, enable:
  • Presence Intent
  • Server Members Intent
  • Message Content Intent
These are required for modern Discord bots in 2026.
4. Invite the Bot to Your Server
Open:
OAuth2 → URL Generator
Select:
Scopes
  • Kod:
    bot
  • Kod:
    applications.commands
Bot Permissions
For beginners, you can use:
  • Administrator
Copy the generated URL and open it in your browser.
Invite the bot to your server.
5. Project Setup
Open terminal:
Kod:
mkdir my-discord-bot
cd my-discord-bot

Create virtual environment:
Kod:
python -m venv venv

Activate it:
Windows
Kod:
venv\Scripts\activate

Linux / Mac
Kod:
source venv/bin/activate

6. Install Required Packages
Install 
Kod:
discord.py
 and 
Kod:
.env
 support:
Kod:
pip install discord.py python-dotenv

Verify installation:
Kod:
pip list

7. Creating Your First Discord Bot
Create a file called:
Kod:
main.py

Paste this code:
Kod:
import discord
from discord import app_commands
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True
class MyBot(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)
    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.tree.sync()
        print("Slash commands synced!")
bot = MyBot()
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user}")
    await bot.change_presence(
        activity=discord.Game("/help")
    )
# Ping command
@bot.tree.command(
    name="ping",
    description="Shows bot latency"
)
async def ping(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    latency = round(bot.latency * 1000)
    await interaction.response.send_message(
        f"🏓 Pong! `{latency}ms`"
    )
# Hello command
@bot.tree.command(
    name="hello",
    description="Say hello to the bot"
)
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(
        f"Hello {interaction.user.mention}! 👋"
    )
bot.run(TOKEN)

8. Secure Your Token with .env
Create a file called:
Kod:
.env

Paste:
Kod:
DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE

IMPORTANT:
Never upload this file to GitHub.
Create 
Kod:
.gitignore
:
Kod:
.env
venv/
__pycache__/

9. Run the Bot
Start the bot:
Kod:
python main.py

If everything works correctly you should see:
Kod:
Logged in as YourBotName
Slash commands synced!

Now test:
  • Kod:
    /ping
  • Kod:
    /hello
inside your Discord server.
10. Embed Command Example
Modern Discord bots use embeds heavily.
Example:
Kod:
@bot.tree.command(
    name="info",
    description="Shows bot info"
)
async def info(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="🤖 My Discord Bot",
        description="Modern discord.py bot for 2026",
        color=0x00ff00
    )
    embed.add_field(
        name="Latency",
        value=f"{round(bot.latency*1000)}ms"
    )
    embed.set_footer(
        text=f"Requested by {interaction.user}"
    )
    await interaction.response.send_message(
        embed=embed
    )

13. Common Beginner Mistakes
Slash Commands Not Showing
Try:
  • reinviting the bot
  • waiting 1-2 minutes
  • syncing commands again
Invalid Token Error
Your token is wrong or expired.
Reset it inside:
Developer Portal → Bot → Reset Token
Message Content Intent Error
Enable intents inside:
Developer Portal → Bot
Bot Offline
Check:
  • internet connection
  • hosting status
  • token validity
14. Recommended Folder Structure
As your bot grows:
Kod:
my-discord-bot/
│
├── commands/
├── events/
├── utils/
├── .env
├── main.py
└── requirements.txt

This structure scales much better for larger bots.
