Athena Bot | Discord Server Bot v2.5.2

[NEW] Invoice Addon [5.99$]

We’re excited to introduce our new Invoice Addon, making payments easier, faster, and fully integrated with Discord. Your staff can now create and manage PayPal invoices directly from Discord without needing to leave the server.

Features:

• Create PayPal invoices from Discord
• Pay links and QR codes
• Fee handling
• Optional partial payments
• Status Tracking (paid/partial/cancelled states)
• Dedicated logs channel

(i) For the future we are looking forward to introduce different providers like Stripe as well.

ㅤ

[NEW] Ticket Priority System
With this update we are introducing a recoded Ticket Priority System. Tickets can now be assigned different priority levels, helping teams instantly identify urgent requests and manage workloads more efficiently.

Features:

• Multiple configurable priority levels
• Custom priority prefixes
• Optional automatic ticket sorting
• Role mentions based on ticket priority
• Automatic priority assignment using user roles

ㅤ

[UPDATED] Automod » New Rules
We are excited to announce two new automod rules designed to help combat scammers who primarily rely on images. The first new rule allows you to limit the number of attachments that can be sent in a single message. The second introduces image hash detection, which identifies and blocks previously flagged scam images across all instances.
To support this system, we are building our own database of known scam images, as many scammers repeatedly use the same content. The effectiveness of this feature depends heavily on you, our community. The more scam images that are reported, the better the detection system becomes. That's why if you encounter a scam image in your server that was not automatically flagged, please forward the image to my DMs so it can be reviewed and added to the database. Thank you all in advance!




[UPDATED] Dashboard Changes

• Added a new Dashboard Audit Log section, allowing you to track all actions performed through the dashboard
• Introduced a Dashboard Permission System, enabling you to control which users can access specific dashboard sections. For example, you can grant staff members access to the Embed Creator without giving them full dashboard permissions
• Optimized Transcript Search
• Added a Discord Backup Compare & Restore Preview allowing you to review changes
• Added a dedicated dashboard tab for users of the Command Maker Addon, making configuration significantly easier
• Custom plugin configurations can now be edited directly from the dashboard, even if no dedicated dashboard support exists for that plugin. In such cases, a built in file editor will be provided
• Added several new theme options and made various improvements to existing themes
• Fixed multiple bugs and improved overall stability

ㅤ

Additions/Updates

• Updated /meme to be more reliable
• Bot automatically rejects any restart requests when our servers are offline now. This makes sure your bot doesn't suddenly turn off when our servers are down.
• Added a AI summary to our AthenaBot Plugin Template allowing you to create custom plugins using AI more easily
• Added a new function allowing third party developers to add their own emojis to custom categories at /help
• Added attachments to message delete log

• Fixed some translation issues for spanish users at the hytale plugin
• Fixed %staff_mention% placeholder at promote log generated after application was accepted
• Fixed a placeholder issue that lead to errors if the user field was null and such a placeholder was used. This lead to several issues across all AthenaBot features. This bug was introduced with V2.5.1, updating to V2.5.2 is highly recommended.
• Fixed clearSecondaryCategories schedule erroring if ticket category channel did not exist
• Fixed a typo in the channel update log if it is not part of a parent category
• Fixed repeating msgs automod being triggered by attachments

I hope you like this month's update!

[NEW] Developer Tools: Dashboard Plugins & Configs, Custom Events​

• Addons can now emit and listen to custom events. AthenaBot comes with 45+ built-in events you can hook into. If you’re missing something, just reach out. Docs: https://github.com/Zeroknights16/AthenaBot-PluginTemplate/wiki/Custom-Events
• You can now set a minimum AthenaBot version for your plugin. If the requirement isn’t met, the plugin will be disabled automatically.
• The template release now ships with three .zip options: full template, no dashboard features and minimal version. Pick whatever fits your use case.
• There are now custom dashboard plugins. You can add your own pages, create new tabs, or use ones from others. More info: https://github.com/Zeroknights16/AthenaBot-PluginTemplate/wiki/Creating-Dashboard-Pages
• The config editor supports custom addons now, so plugin configs can be handled directly in the dashboard (if implemented). Docs: https://github.com/Zeroknights16/AthenaBot-PluginTemplate/wiki/Dashboard-Config-Editor

Note: The config editor and custom pages are still in beta, so things might change.

[NEW] Punishment Presets​

Want to keep your moderation clean and consistent? This update adds Punishment Presets.

When enabled, moderation commands get a new preset subcommand where you can pick from preconfigured punishments. Each preset comes with a fixed reason and (optional) duration, so moderators don’t have to type everything out every time.

This helps keep things fair and consistent: same situation, same punishment.

[NEW] Button Configurability​

We’re excited to introduce fully customizable buttons across AthenaBot. You can now adjust colors, labels, and emojis however you like, all directly from your language configuration file.

[UPDATED] BETA Dashboard Changes​

• Added create, load and delete buttons to Backups tab
• Added a massive theme editor, allowing you to modify the design of the dashboard to your liking!
• Added more filters to transcripts page
• Added different transcripts layout views
• Added view button to transcripts
• Implementation of custom dashboard plugins & custom plugin configs (see above)
• Allow third-party plugin configs without custom dashboard schemas to be edited directly from the dashboard by introducing a custom config file editor with JSON5 syntax highlighting and validation so invalid config files cannot be saved.
• Improved large config UX with drag-and-drop reordering and collapsed question groups by default.
• Several theme updates and minor UI changes

Additions/Updates​

• Blacklisted directories starting with _ from being loaded in the plugin folder
• Added new global placeholders and improved parsing: %channel_<channel_id>%, %role_<role_id>%, %user_<user_id>%. All three mention their specific target.
• Updated final status report to include more information
• Added new subcommand /steal sticker
• Removed save_ticket_transcript_on_disk setting from ticket config
• Added new /lockdown command - Quickly secure your server in case of an emergency such as a raid or nuke attack
• Added new build:lowram option for dashboard. This will slowdown the building process but eventually reduce the max. ram usage to <2gb during the building process. If this turns out to work quite well I will be able to reduce the usage to <1gb most likely.
• Added mute role setup panel
• Improved number formatting at higher or lower game
• Updated default list of whitelisted ips at web api
• Added download image buttons (.JPEG & .PNG) to the following commands: /av, /server & /steal
• Added %boosts% placeholder to channel statistics

[UPDATE] DAVE encryption support » Discord Audio & Video End-to-End Encryption (https://daveprotocol.com/)
Beginning March 2, 2026, any clients or applications that do not support DAVE will no longer be able to join or participate in Discord voice and video calls including direct messages, group DMs, voice channels, and Go Live streams.
Since our music plugin relies on Discord voice connections, it is directly impacted by this change. This AthenaBot update adds full DAVE encryption support to ensure continued functionality. The Fastlink addon has also been updated accordingly.


[NEW] Timezone
This month's update is making significant changes to scheduled features. After many requests have reached us, you can now set a specific timezone for your bot as well as define multiple timestamps for scheduled events throughout the day. No more worrying about UTC conversions or being limited to a single daily event: configure your bot to work on your schedule, in your timezone.

Code:

weekly: {
    monday: ["12:00", "18:00"],
    tuesday: ["16:00"],
    wednesday: ["14:00"],
    thursday: ["10:00"],
    friday: ["12:00"],
    saturday: ["20:00"],
    sunday: [],
},

Quote of the Day, Question of the Day & Scheduled messages follow this configuration style now. Console logs are based on the configured timezone as well.


[NEW] Voice XP
Rewarding your members for being active in voice channels is now possible with the introduction of voice XP! This highly requested feature allows you to grant experience points to users who spend time in voice calls, with full control over how restrictive the system should be. Configure it to fit your community's needs whether you want to reward casual hangouts or only focused discussions with multiple participants.

Restrictions

• Undeafen - Always required

Whether you're tracking member counts, bot counts, or role statistics, creating dynamic channel counters is now straightforward and user friendly.

[UPDATED] Anti Nuke
Your server's security just got a major upgrade! The anti nuke system now provides even more protection against unauthorized changes. With expanded event monitoring covering everything from emoji modifications to soundboard changes, no suspicious activity will slip through unnoticed. You can now choose exactly how violators should be punished whether it's an instant ban, role removal, or a kick, giving you precise control over your security response. Plus, new protection for your server's identity means attempts to change your guild name, icon, banner, or vanity URL will be caught and stopped.

• Added customizable punishment types: ban, role, or kick for anti-nuke violations

[NEW] Console Commands
With this update, we’re introducing console commands to the bot. Running scripts like drakoImport used to be inconvenient on Pterodactyl based hosts, since it required modifying the startup command. That’s now a thing of the past: simply enter the appropriate command in your console, and the bot will take care of the rest. We’re excited to expand this system further over time as needed.

[NEW] Music Providers
As you may have noticed over time Youtube is not a reliable streaming provider anymore. They are actively trying to stop servers from streaming music on their platform. While there are plenty of talented developers out there who still make it possible to stream music from Youtube, it's becoming more of a hassle with each update. The downtime in between becomes larger and larger, and that's why we feel us forced to implement support for several new music providers: Youtube, Youtube Music, Deezer, Deezer ISRC, Spotify, SoundCloud & Yandex. For those who own the Lavalink/Fastlink addon, our main provider will be Deezer going forward. Youtube will still be supported but please keep in mind it won't always work.

[CLOSED BETA ONLY] Dashboard Updates
We’re excited to introduce the latest major update to our dashboard! You can now edit almost all configuration files directly within the dashboard, removing the need to edit configuration files manually. Our plugin template will also be extended soon, allowing custom addons to be configured directly through the dashboard.
As this update includes significant backend changes, especially to support custom plugins without relying on hardcoded configurations, you may encounter some bugs along the way.
The dashboard is still in closed beta, but we’re getting closer to a public release. While applications for the closed beta are currently closed, early access is still available through our Patreon addon on BBB. Once the dashboard is fully ready, it will be released for free to everyone.

(!) Node.js Version
With this update, we are increasing the recommended Node.js version to v22 LTS.

Please note that in future updates, versions below v22 may no longer be supported.


# Dashboard Beta​

After months of development, we’re excited to share that our dashboard has officially entered Closed BETA! Applications for the Closed BETA are already closed but if you’d like early access, you can still join our Patreon.
But don’t worry once the dashboard is fully ready, it will be available to everyone for free! We want to keep you informed about our dashboard’s progress throughout the BETA phase. That's why all updates and improvements made to the dashboard will be listed here and in following changelogs.

• Fixed dashboard installation errors crashing Athena as well

# Modals V2
We’re excited to announce our support for Discord’s latest feature: Modals V2!
This update unlocks countless new possibilities to make interactions with the bot smoother than ever. While this is still in progress, the release marks the first step in that direction.
And as we speak, Discord has just rolled out even more modal components!
​

# Ticket System Update
When a Discord category reaches the maximum amount of 50 channels, Discord does not let you create more channels within this category. If this was the case the bot left an error in console without a proper response. From now on a warning will be sent instead, mentioning that the maximum amount of active tickets has been reached.

Additionally, you now have the option to enable generate_new_category_if_full in your ticket configuration file. If this is enabled fallback categories are automatically being created where necessary to increase the overall limit of active tickets per category. These secondary categories will be automatically cleared once they have no longer a use.


# Addon Developer Updates
As always, we’re not just making the bot better we’re also continously improving our plugin API so you can build your awesome ideas.

• You are now able to whitelist your plugins from being disabled at the dashboard.​
