These commands add emojis and stickers to your server without going through its settings, and keep an emoji for some roles.

In short

  • +create :emoji: cat: copies an emoji from another server;
  • +newsticker in reply to a sticker: copies it;
  • +restrict :emoji: @VIP: only the VIP role can see and use the emoji.

Adding emojis

Three emojis copied from another server with +create

+create creates an emoji on the server, in three ways:

  • copy an emoji from another server by pasting it in the command: +create :emoji: cat. You can copy several at once, each followed by its name if you like;
  • attach a picture (256 KB at most): +create cat with the picture;
  • reply to a message with +create: every emoji of the message is copied.

A name is 2 to 32 letters, digits or _. The server needs a free slot; animated emojis have their own slots.

Adding stickers

+newsticker creates a sticker: send the sticker with the command, or reply to the message that holds it. +newsticker dancing-cat gives it a name; without one, the copied sticker's name is kept. The server needs a free slot.

Keeping an emoji for some roles

+restrict :emoji: @VIP makes an emoji visible and usable only by members with that role: the others don't even see it any more. You can give several roles (+restrict :emoji: @VIP @Booster). Only the server's custom emojis can be restricted.

  • To change the roles, run +restrict again with the new list: it replaces the old one.
  • +unrestrict :emoji: gives the emoji back to everyone (several emojis at once work too).

If it doesn't work

  • The emoji isn't created: the server has no free slot left, the picture is over 256 KB, or the name isn't valid.
  • You can't paste another server's emoji: Discord keeps that for Nitro members; attach its picture instead.
