What should I know before I get started?
Project Structure
Our project uses discord.js v14, which means you should be familiar with modern JavaScript and Node.js. The main entry point of the bot is located in index.js, with commands and event handlers organized into separate directories.
Development Environment
Ensure you have Node.js v16 or newer installed, as discord.js v14 requires it. Additionally, you'll need a Discord account and a test server to try out your changes.
