Discord Rich Presence in Launcher

Hey all, not sure if this is the best time to suggest something considering everything that is going on with mojang, but I'll get straight to the point.

Some of you may have seen something like this around discord:


This is known as Discord's Rich Presence that has recently been added to the GameBridge.

So I was thinking that MyM could implement this in the launcher:

• When a user starts up a modpack and joins a mym server (only mym servers) players could then see that user is playing that modpack.
  
• If the user chooses, they could click on "Join Game" or "Launch Modpack" which would then start up the MyM launcher with the arguments needed to launch the modpack.
• The details could include which node of the modpack the user is playing on, how many players are on that server, and how many staff are playing on that node.
• Of course all this could be disabled with a click of a button in the launcher or maybe a mod that is optional for all the modpacks.

Yes, this is more of a nice little display than a game mechanic, but I thought it would be a neat and convenient thing to have.

If anyone has any ideas to add onto this, please let me know.

 

Thats looking really interesting

 

This could potentially be achieved with use of a mod, but I'm not sure that mod exists at present.

A quick look over the docs suggests that this would be feasible through RPC access, although that also depends upon Gamebridge access.

1. The game is added by default if it is using the SDK.
2. It could be achieved with the use of a mod as The_Icy_One said.
3. The SDK just went open source today so anyone can use it.

Well, that was well timed. I'm having a poke around with it now, seems like either a general use or server-specific mod will be feasible, and I'm tempted to see if I can get something working when I get home.
