Adding CozyCasting to Your Server#
Use the /invite command in any server that already has the bot, or ask a server admin to add it.
Setting the bot up for your server?
The Server Admin guide covers everything an admin configures — the prefix, where chest drops and rare-catch announcements post, notification roles, tournaments, and what to check when a channel goes quiet. Short on time? Start with its recommended setup.
Permission checklist#
CozyCasting never needs Administrator. Grant these and you're set:
| Permission | Why | |
|---|---|---|
| Required | View Channels | See the channels it's used in |
| Required | Send Messages | Reply to commands |
| Required | Embed Links | Every response is an embed |
| Required | Attach Files | Rendered fish images and profile cards |
| Required | Use Application Commands (applications.commands scope) |
Slash commands — granted during install |
| Trades only | Create Public Threads | Accepted /trade sessions run in their own thread |
| Trades only | Send Messages in Threads | Posting inside that trade thread |
| Trades only | Read Message History | Discord requires it for thread workflows |
Permissions are per channel. A channel override can deny something the CozyCasting role grants, so one channel goes quiet while the rest work fine. See the Server Admin guide for how to fix that.
Direct messages (optional)#
Commands only work inside a server — you can't fish in a DM with the bot. DMs are only how optional reminders and private invites reach you:
- Cooldown-ready,
/daily,/vote, net-full and come-back reminders - Trade requests and breeding alerts
- Guild invitations — these fall back to the channel if your DMs are closed, so a closed DM never blocks an invite
Nothing about core fishing needs DMs. To enable them, right-click the server → Privacy Settings → Direct Messages (Discord's exact wording varies by client and platform; your global privacy default can also be overridden per server). Once they're on, /notifications lets you choose which reminder types you actually get — or turn any of them back off.
Your First Catch#
- Type
/fish(or!f fish) to cast your line. - A fish will appear with its species, rarity, traits, and value.
- Choose Keep to add it to your tank, or Sell to pocket the coins.
- Cast again. Your first five casts of a session are guaranteed to land while you're under level 10, and your cooldown is only 2 minutes at level 1.
That's it — you're fishing!
The Starter Chain#
Your first few sessions come with a short guided chain — five one-off steps that pay out the instant you finish them, no claiming required. They appear on your catch results and at the top of /quests.
| Step | What to do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 🎣 First Cast | Catch your first fish | 100 coins |
| 💰 Cashing In | Sell a fish | 150 coins + 10 bait |
| 🐟 Your First Tank | Keep a fish in your tank | 200 coins |
| 🪱 Bait the Hook | Catch 3 fish while using bait | 250 coins |
| 🌊 A Real Haul | Catch 25 fish | 500 coins, 50 pearls, a Rare Chest |
Between them that's roughly enough to buy your first rod upgrade.
The Early Game Is Faster#
Two things are deliberately generous until level 10, then settle to the normal rules:
- Cooldowns are short. 2 minutes at level 1, rising gradually to the standard 15 minutes at level 10.
- Sessions are safe. Your first five casts can't escape (everyone gets three).
Level 10 is the point where the game opens up — nets, better rods, more locations — so the ramp is there to get you to it.
Understanding the Catch Embed#
When you catch a fish, you'll see:
- Species — The type of fish (depends on your location)
- Rarity — From Common to Unique (see Rarities) — Unique is event-only, so most of your catches will be Common through Mythical
- Traits — Special modifiers like Shiny or Giant that affect value
- Size — Each fish has a random size
- Value — How many coins you'll get if you sell
- XP — Experience points earned for the catch

Beginner's Luck
Your very first achievement unlock grants a 24-hour buff that makes bites come 75% faster — a great time to fish a lot.
Slash Commands vs Prefix Commands#
CozyCasting supports both styles:
- Slash commands:
/fish,/shop,/travel NA river - Prefix commands:
!f fish,!f shop,!f travel NA river(default prefix:!f)
Most commands have short aliases too — for example, !ff is the same as /fish (prefix !f + alias f).
Server admins can change the prefix with /settings prefix (requires Manage Server permission).
