# Developer Mode (Copying IDs)

#### 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 style="success" %}
**Hint:** You will want to type `\:DrakoTickets:` for example 
{% endhint %}

* 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.&#x20;

*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`.
