Intents

The intents { } builder allows you to configure what Discord gateway intents your bot requires.

Intents define what events the Discord gateway sends to your bot and what data it has access to. Using a limited set of intents can be useful to cut down on event processing overhead or to help ensure your users' privacy by preventing your bot from processing data it doesn't strictly need.

Some intents are privileged, and you'll need to enable them in Discord's developer console. Discord requires verification for any bot that reaches 100 servers, and you'll need to justify why you need these intents. If your bot uses chat commands, this may also include the Message Content intent — if you only use this intent for chat commands, Discord will require that you switch to slash commands, unless this is impossible then.

ExtensibleBot(TOKEN) {
    // ...

    intents {
        +Intent.GuildMembers
        +Intent.GuildPresences
    }
}

You can add and remove intents using the unary + and - operators.

intents(...) { ... }Receiver: Intents.Builder

By default, all non-privileged intents are enabled, along with the message content intent if you're using chat commands, and any intents your bot's extensions need, based on their event handlers.
