Developer Mode (Copying IDs)

Discord IDs are unique numbers used to identify servers, channels, roles, users, and categories. They’re essential when setting up bots, webhooks, or troubleshooting issues.

Step 1 — Enable Developer Mode

Before you can copy IDs, you’ll need to enable Developer Mode in Discord:

• Open User Settings (⚙️ gear icon at the bottom left).

• Scroll down and select Advanced.

• Toggle Developer Mode → ON.

Step 2 — Copy Different Types of IDs

Once Developer Mode is on, you can right-click to copy IDs.

• Server ID → Right-click the server name (top-left) → Copy Server ID

• Channel ID → Right-click the channel name → Copy Channel ID

• Category ID → Right-click the category header → Copy Category ID

• Role ID → Go to Server Settings → Roles → Right-click a role → Copy Role ID

• User ID → Right-click a username or avatar → Copy User ID

Step 3 — Copy Emoji IDs

To get the ID of a custom emoji:

• Type a backslash (\) followed by the emoji in chat.

Hint: You will want to type \:DrakoTickets: for example

• Press Enter (it won’t send an actual emoji, just the raw format).

• You’ll see something like <:emojiName:123456789012345678>.

• Copy this RAW format to use it witnin the bot modules.

Tip: For animated emojis, you’ll see <a:emojiName:123456789012345678> — the ID works the same way.

Step 4 — Copy Image Links (For Embeds)

If you want to embed an image (for example, in a bot or webhook), you’ll need its direct URL:

• Find the image you want in Discord (in chat or uploaded).

• Right-click the image.

• Select Copy Image Address.

• Paste the link wherever you need it (e.g., inside an embed).

💡 Hint: The link should end in .png, .jpg, or .gif. If it doesn’t, it may not embed correctly.

💡 Tips & Best Practices

• IDs are long numbers (17–20 digits).

• Replace placeholders like CHANNEL_ID with actual IDs.

• Make sure your bot has permissions to access the IDs or images you’re using.

⚠️ Common Problems

• "Invalid snowflake" → You pasted a placeholder instead of a real ID.

• "Channel not found" → Wrong server, or your bot doesn’t have access.

• No "Copy ID" option → Developer Mode isn’t enabled.

• Image won’t embed → Double-check the link ends in .png, .jpg, or .gif.
