About Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot

Red is a self-hosted Discord bot written in Python that offers extensive customization through a fully modular architecture. Users can enable or disable any features and commands to create a bot tailored to their needs, whether serving as an admin tool, music player, trivia host, or combination thereof. Installation is straightforward and requires no coding knowledge, with all configuration handled directly through Discord commands.

The bot comes with a comprehensive default feature set including moderation tools like kicks and bans with logging, a trivia system with included question lists, music playback from YouTube and SoundCloud, stream alerts for Twitch and YouTube, custom commands, admin automation like self-role assignment, and various fun modules such as slot machines and GIF searches. The platform's real strength lies in its plugin ecosystem, where community members have created hundreds of additional cogs covering everything from welcome messages and reaction roles to anime databases and ban synchronization across servers.

Red maintains active development and a vibrant community that continuously produces new plugins and features. The project is officially supported on Windows, macOS, and major Linux distributions, with dedicated support channels in the official Discord server. Being GPL v3 licensed and self-hosted means users have complete control over their bot instance while contributing to an open-source project that prioritizes extensibility and user customization.
