CHERNO

Discord bot Beta

The CHERNO bot for your DayZ Discord

Freshly wiped servers, a live status for your own server and server lookups with a join button, straight in your Discord. Free, set up in a minute, and it only posts where you tell it to.

Add to Discord CHERNO Discord

What it does

Wipe feed

Once an hour, DayZ servers with 20+ players whose name just announced a wipe. The five biggest as cards with map, players, version and mod list. Plus wipes that server owners announce in CHERNO, with a reminder an hour before.

Live server status

A message for your own server that updates itself every 1, 2 or 5 minutes: online or offline, players, map, time in game, mods and a join button.

Server lookup

/server 1.2.3.4:2302 posts any server as a card. The address DayZ shows is enough, the bot finds the query port itself.

Filters

Only Livonia wipes? Only 1PP? Only servers with 60+ players? /wipefeed filter keeps the feed to what your community plays.

CHERNO updates

New launcher versions with their changelog, in a channel of your choice.

The join button

Opens the CHERNO launcher right on the server. It asks first, shows which mods are missing and how big the download is, and installs them.

Bot tab as control centre New

A health strip shows whether the bot is running and what needs attention: panel offline, message not updatable, feed errors — each with a jump to the right place. Activity keeps 100 entries with filters.

Player history New

Every status panel records the player count: a 24-hour curve with peaks for 24 hours and 7 days in the bot tab, and “Peak (24 h)” in the Discord status message. /history shows it to everyone.

Scheduled restarts, one message New

Enter your restart times and time zone. The status message shows the next restart; before it, one message tells the whole story — “restart in 10 minutes” becomes “restarting now” and then “back online”. It deletes itself after a time you choose.

Roles by button New

A message with up to ten buttons: one press gives a member the role — map, region, pings — a second removes it. Set up in the launcher, with preview.

Announcements from the launcher New

Heading, text, channel, optional role ping and a server card with join button. Preview first, confirmation, then it posts as the bot.

Mod change alerts New

When a mod is added to or removed from your server's list, the bot posts what changed — players know to open the launcher before joining.

Your own look New

Embed colour, your server logo as thumbnail, a banner below the status message and your own wording with placeholders for every alert — all with live preview.

A DM when a slot is free New

/slot 1.2.3.4:2302 on a full server: the bot sends a DM with a join button as soon as someone leaves, for up to two hours. Feeds can be paused; /restarts shows the next restart.

Restart and outage alerts

The bot watches your server minute by minute. When it stops answering, it posts an outage message after 2, 5 or 10 minutes; when it is back, a restart message in your own wording. Channel and ping role are yours to pick.

Set it up in the launcher

Sign in with Discord in CHERNO and the Discord bot tab appears: every server you manage, with status messages, alerts, wipe feed, update feed, a live preview of the message and a test button that posts the real thing.

Live status for everyone

Members do not need Manage Server to look: /status shows the live state of every server this Discord watches, or of any address. Only the person asking sees it, unless they choose to post it.

The bot tab in the launcher New

Screenshots from the launcher with sample data. The servers are invented.

The status message: online state, players, queue, map, time in game and mods — updated every minute, with a join button.
A wipe post: map, players, perspective and the mod list, with the same join button.

Set it up

  1. Press Add to Discord above, pick your server and choose Add to server. You need Manage Server there.
  2. Run /wipefeed setup, pick a channel and, if you like, a role to ping. The bot posts a first message right away, so you can see it has the rights it needs.
  3. Optional: /wipefeed filter for maps, perspective and minimum players.
  4. Optional: /serverstatus setup with your server address and a channel for the live status.
  5. Forgot something? /help shows everything, only to you.

Rights and data

In the channels you choose, the bot needs View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links. Nothing else.

Why trust this?

CHERNO is new. Rather than pretend otherwise, here is where the project stands.

In beta, and openly so

The launcher is in beta. It works, it is used daily, and it still has rough edges. Every release lists what changed.

Built by one person

One developer, no company behind it, no investors. That means direct answers, and it means fewer hands — bug reports usually get a reply the same day.

No server partners yet

There are no big partner servers and no sponsorships. Anyone claiming otherwise would be making it up. The first servers to come along shape what gets built next.

Costs nothing, asks for nothing

Launcher and bot are free. No ads, no paid placement in the server list, no account needed. Discord sign-in is optional and only for the bot tab and ratings.

Only what it needs

The bot stores your Discord server's ID with the channels and settings you chose. Nothing about your members. Remove it and that is gone.

You run a DayZ server?

Then you are exactly who this is being built for. The bot brings your server into your Discord — live status, restart and outage alerts, wipe posts — and the launcher gets players onto it in one click, with the mods installed. What I am looking for right now: servers that try it and tell me what is missing. Feedback goes straight to the person who writes the code.

  • A join button that installs missing mods instead of sending players to the Workshop
  • Your server in the browser with map, players, ping, mods and your own description
  • Live status and alerts in your Discord, without a bot of your own
  • Announce your wipes so they reach players in CHERNO and in every wipe feed
Add the bot For server owners

Or write to me on the CHERNO Discord — the ticket lands with me directly.

Questions

The bot doesn't join my server.

Make sure you pick Add to server, not Add to my apps, and that you have Manage Server on that server.

The role doesn't get pinged.

In the role settings, turn on Allow anyone to @mention this role. The bot never pings @everyone.

How does it know a server wiped?

From two sources: server owners who announce their wipe in CHERNO, and servers whose name changes to announce a fresh wipe, like … | WIPE 18.09.

My server is offline in the status, but it's running.

The status asks the public server list. A server that is hidden from it, or blocks queries, shows as offline.

Does it cost anything?

No. The bot and the CHERNO launcher are free.
