How to Make Your Discord Bot Send Cleaner Messages

If you're a Discord bot developer, you know that clear communication is key. We often need our bots to relay information clearly and in an appealing format. In this guide, we'll delve into a common issue faced by developers: how to format messages your bot sends to the server. This will primarily focus on improving the readability of messages that contain data pulled from a database, such as coordinates in a Minecraft realm.

The Problem

You've built a Discord bot that integrates with a SQLite3 database to pull special coordinates for a Minecraft realm. Your current implementation correctly retrieves and displays the coordinates, but it sends the data in a raw tuple format, which looks like this:

While this data works, it's far from user-friendly! What you really want is for your bot to send messages formatted nicely, similar to this:

So, how do you accomplish this? Let's break down the solution.

The Solution

Step 1: Modify the Command

In your bot's command for fetching coordinates, you'll need to replace the line that currently sends the raw coordinates with a more user-friendly message format.

Current Implementation

Here's the line you currently have:

Step 2: Format the Message

To achieve the cleaner output, you'll introduce a new string that formats the coordinates appropriately. Here’s how you can do it with Python:

Recommended Code

Replace the above line with the following code:

In this code:

f"{k}: {v}" constructs each string by using the names and coordinates from the tuples.

'\n'.join(...) combines these strings into a single message, with each entry appearing on a new line.

Step 3: Optional Enhancement - Bold Keys

If you'd like to highlight the keys in your output by making them bold, you can slightly modify the format:

Final Result

With these changes, you should now see output messages that look much cleaner and more readable, enhancing the user experience on your Discord server.

Conclusion

By applying simple string formatting techniques in your Discord bot, you can significantly improve the clarity of the information being relayed to your users. Formatting data in a structured manner not only makes it look professional but also ensures that your communication is effective.

Now you can make your bot's messages cleaner and more helpful at the same time. Happy coding!
