An example of theme modifications from a client mod. As a result, Discord will easily be able to tell if you're interacting in ways that shouldn't be possible in the client. It's also worth noting that Discord's analytics report metadata about the client to them, meaning your interactions with the client are tracked. Though these visual changes sometimes bring less maintained clients (Like the Linux client) into feature-parity with more maintained ones. Bad code in any client alterations can cause crashes or glitches in your client with visual modifications often rendering the client unusable. These issues aren't just limited to experiments. This can range from non-functional features to crash loops requiring a fresh install.
Naturally, as these features are experimental, they may cause issues with your client. Some client alterations will also allow users to show parts of the client not intended for general use, most typically experimental features. These changes are more common & more desirable, and include new themes, asset changes & layout changes. Client alterationsĬlient alterations don't directly affect communication between your Discord client and the API, but rather change how the Discord client appears. An example of a mass-delete client mod, you can see it getting rate-limited in this gif. Additionally, as API calls from user credentials aren't sent rate-limit headers, it's possible for API calls from a client mod to get you rate-limited by Discord, which can very easily result in you being identified for API abuse. While client mod API calls/self-botting are less obvious than dedicated spambots, the atypical activity is still visible on Discord's end, especially if you have data science analytics enabled on your account. This can include mass deleting your messages & fetching endpoints for guilds or users that aren't typically called to show more information in-client.
When thinking of Self-Bots, many people will imagine spambots, however most client mods will self-bot in ways that are less obviously harmful.
Self-botting refers to using your own Discord account credentials to make calls to Discord's API manually or automatically outside of the Discord client's normal API calls. To help keep things simple, we'll break this down into the two main categories: API interactions/self-botting This is a very broad definition, and there's lots of different things that Discord client mods can do. What do client mods do?Ĭlient mods refer to software that alters how your Discord client works. But why shouldn't you use Discord client mods? What do client mods even do? What can happen if you do use client mods? We'll cover all of the above in this article! Don't want to read everything here? Here's a TL DR you can share. If you've been around Discord meta circles, you've probably heard of Client Mods more than once.
