UPDATED: Part 2 Step 3 - Update Role Mappings in Bot
Changed from manual-only to dual-option approach:
OPTION A (RECOMMENDED): Discord Bot Admin Panel
- Holly can update role IDs herself
- No SSH access needed
- No bot restart needed
- Instant validation and feedback
- Zero downtime
- Audit logs posted to Discord automatically
- Complete workflow documented
OPTION B (MANUAL): SSH + Manual Edit
- Requires Michael's SSH access
- Requires bot restart
- Only use if admin panel not deployed yet
- Kept for backward compatibility
Updated Prerequisites Section:
- Added admin panel access requirement
- Clarified SSH only needed for LuckPerms testing
- Not needed for Discord role management anymore
Benefits of Update:
- Makes admin panel the primary, recommended method
- Reduces Holly's dependency on Michael
- Promotes modern, self-service workflow
- Still documents manual fallback if needed
Guide now properly reflects the new admin panel infrastructure
deployed in discord-bot-admin-panel.md

REMOVED from mod installation list:
- Waystones (mod #14) - only use if modpack includes it
- Balm dependency - not needed if not installing Waystones
- Corpse/Grave mods (mod #15) - only use if modpack includes it
ADDED new configuration section:
- Waystones Configuration (If Modpack Includes It)
- LuckPerms permissions to set cooldowns per tier
- Cooldowns match /rtp cooldowns for consistency:
- Awakened: Cannot use (no access)
- Elemental: 60 min (3600s)
- Knight: 30 min (1800s)
- Master: 15 min (900s)
- Legend: 10 min (600s)
- Sovereign/Staff: No cooldown (0s)
Updated:
- Dependency summary: Removed Waystones/Balm entries
- Reference table: Removed Waystones/Balm rows
- Renumbered mods: Discord → #14, Plan → #15, Voice Chat → #16
Rationale:
- Don't install mods the modpack might already have
- Configure Waystones via LuckPerms if present
- Maintains tier consistency (Waystones cooldown = /rtp cooldown)

Added references to LuckPerms web editor in two key sections:
1. Testing & Verification Section:
- Added tip box explaining web editor
- Command: /lp editor
- Benefits: Visual interface, color picker, no typing errors
- Reference to Subscription Automation Guide for details
2. WorldEdit Configuration Section:
- Added RECOMMENDED method: Use web editor
- Alternative: Console commands (for those who prefer terminal)
- Clear signposting to full instructions in other guide
Why This Helps:
- Holly sees web editor option while testing LuckPerms
- Reminded that web editor exists when configuring WorldEdit perms
- Cross-reference to Subscription Automation Guide Part 3
- Choice between visual (web editor) vs terminal (console commands)
Maintains consistency between both deployment guides.
Chronicler #40
Added explicit 'Dependencies:' field to ALL mods for clarity.
Mods with 'Dependencies: None':
- LuckPerms
- Architectury API (base library)
- WorldEdit
- ServerCore
- FerriteCore
- Spark
- Plan
- Simple Voice Chat
Mods with 'Check mod page' note:
- YAWP (varies by version)
- Prism (varies by version)
- Corpse/Grave mods (varies by which mod chosen)
- Discord integration (varies by mod version)
Why This Helps:
- Holly sees 'Dependencies: None' → knows she can install it immediately
- Holly sees specific dependencies → knows what to install first
- Holly sees 'Check mod page' → knows to verify before installing
- No ambiguity - every mod has a Dependencies field
Consistency: Every single mod now has a Dependencies line.
Chronicler #40
Added Elite Holograms to Quality of Life mods section.
What it does:
- Creates floating holographic text/images in-game
- Display server info, rules, welcome messages, leaderboards
- Professional-looking information displays
Use cases for Firefrost:
- Spawn: Display server rules, tier comparison chart
- Welcome area: Greet new Awakened tier subscribers
- Hub: Show available perks per tier
- Events: Fire vs Frost standings, competitions
Dependencies: Architectury API (required)
Updated:
- Mod list: Elite Holograms is now mod #13
- Renumbered: Waystones → #14, Corpse → #15, Discord → #16, Plan → #17, Voice Chat → #18
- Dependency summary: Added to installation order
- Reference table: Added Elite Holograms entry

CRITICAL FIX: Dependencies now listed ON EACH MOD, not just on library mods.
Before: Holly looks at FTB Chunks, sees no dependency info
After: Holly sees 'Dependencies: FTB Library, FTB Teams, Architectury API'
Changed Mods:
- FTB Chunks: Added 'Dependencies: FTB Library, FTB Teams, Architectury API'
- FTB Essentials: Added 'Dependencies: FTB Library, Architectury API'
- FTB Library: Added 'Dependencies: Architectury API'
- FTB Teams: Added 'Dependencies: FTB Library, Architectury API'
- Waystones: Dependencies field moved to top
Result: When Holly reads ANY mod, she immediately knows what to install first.
Chronicler #40
CRITICAL: Added all missing mod dependencies to prevent installation failures.
Dependencies Added:
- Architectury API (required by FTB Library)
- Balm (required by Waystones)
- FTB Teams marked as dependency for FTB Chunks
New Sections:
- Dependency Summary with installation order
- Quick dependency reference table
- Clear dependency chain explanation
Installation Order Now Documented:
1. Dependencies first (Architectury API, FTB Library, FTB Teams)
2. Core mods (LuckPerms, FTB Chunks, FTB Essentials, WorldEdit)
3. Performance mods (ServerCore, FerriteCore, Spark)
4. Optional mods with their dependencies noted
Why This Matters:
- Prevents 'missing dependency' errors during installation
- Holly knows WHAT to install and IN WHAT ORDER
- Clear table shows dependency relationships
- Reduces troubleshooting time
Removed: Duplicate Discord Integration section

Part 3 now offers TWO ways to create LuckPerms groups:
METHOD A: Web Editor (RECOMMENDED)
- 30-45 minutes instead of 2-3 hours
- Visual interface with drag-and-drop
- Color picker for chat prefixes
- Built-in validation prevents mistakes
- Better for learning the structure
- Step-by-step guide for all 13 groups
METHOD B: Console Commands (ALTERNATIVE)
- Original ~150 command approach
- Exact and reproducible
- Good for documentation
- No internet upload required
- Same functionality as Method A
Benefits:
- Holly can choose based on comfort level
- Web editor is faster and less error-prone
- Console commands still available for automation/reproducibility
- Both methods produce identical results
Chronicler #40
CRITICAL SECURITY: WorldEdit is now restricted to staff only.
Changes:
- Created Builder group (for Holly) with full WorldEdit access
- Created Owner group (for Michael) with all permissions
- Explicitly DENIED worldedit.* to ALL subscriber groups (including Sovereign)
- Added gamemode, unlimited chunks/homes to staff
- Updated both deployment guides with staff group creation
Why this matters:
- Prevents subscribers from using WorldEdit to duplicate items
- Prevents WorldEdit-based griefing and chunk bypass exploits
- Even $499 Sovereign tier does NOT get WorldEdit
- Only Holly (Builder) and Michael (Owner) have access
Commands added to LuckPerms group creation section in both guides.

Added Task 7: Set Up DNS (Cloudflare) before Nginx configuration.
Michael needs to:
1. Add A record: webhook.firefrostgaming.com → 63.143.34.217
2. Set to DNS only (proxy OFF)
3. Verify DNS propagation with dig
Renumbered subsequent tasks (Nginx is now Task 8, Holly prep is Task 9).
Chronicler #40
Step 3 of Part 2 now clearly marked as Michael's task.
Holly creates roles and copies IDs, then hands to Michael.
Michael SSHs to Command Center and updates bot.js.
Prevents confusion about who has SSH access to Command Center.
Chronicler #40
Removed confusing SSH instruction. Holly should use Pterodactyl Panel
console directly - no SSH needed for running LuckPerms commands.
All servers share MySQL database, so commands on one server sync to all.
