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_IDwith 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.
