Getting Started with T4 Bot
Set up takes about 5–10 minutes.
0 Invite the Bot
First, invite T4 to your server. You'll need the Manage Server permission.
Invite T4 Bot1 Create Your First Badge
Type /create in any channel. Select the [image] parameter and upload your badge image.
A modal will appear with these fields:
Badge Name
The name shown in the member's badges and server badge list.
Nickname Emoji (or Text)
The emoji or text that appears in the member's nickname. Discord only allows Unicode emojis (your OS emojis), not custom server emojis.
Description
Shows in badge announcements in the chosen channel.
Ping Message
Notification sent to recipients. Default: "Hey, {member_mention}! You received a new badge!"
2 Give Badges to Members or Roles
To give a badge to individual members:
/give [badge] [member_1] <member_2> ... <member_9> To give a badge to everyone with a certain role:
/give-to-role [badge] [role] To give a badge to all current members of a role (without linking it to the role):
/give-to-role-members [badge] [role] The bot will ask you to confirm and show which members will be affected. Press the 👍 button to confirm.
3 Remove Badges
Use /remove [badge] [member_1] <member_2> ... <member_9> for individuals, or /remove-from-role [badge] [role] for roles. Same confirmation flow as giving.
4 Badge Icons in Nicknames
Icons appear in nicknames automatically if you set the Nickname Emoji field when creating the badge and assigned it using /give or /give-to-role.
To edit an existing badge's emoji later, use /edit [badge].
5 Customize Nickname Format
Control how emojis appear in nicknames:
/set-nick-format [format] Set the maximum number of emojis shown:
/set-nick-max [max_emojies] Both commands will ask you to confirm with 👍.
6 Delete a Badge
Use /server-remove-badge to permanently delete a badge from the server.
Warning: This removes the badge from every member who owns it. This action is irreversible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't role icons show in my nicknames?
T4 only works with Unicode emojis — custom server emojis won't work in nicknames due to Discord's limitations. Run /check-member-tool to diagnose issues. Also note that the bot can't change the server owner's nickname due to Discord's role hierarchy.
Can I remove the icon separator?
Not currently. The separator is needed because some members use emojis in their username — without it, the bot can't tell which emojis are part of the name and which are badges.
The bot shows "The application did not respond"
The bot may be temporarily offline. Try again in a few minutes. If the issue persists, report it in the T4 Support Server.
The bot gives badges I haven't created?
Those are Golden Badges (Activity Badges) — automatic badges based on member activity like Spotify or games. Disable them with /toggle-golden.
