How to switch your bot between Node.js, Python and Java

One bot plan runs any of the supported bot types. You choose the type after you buy, and you can change it later.

The types

• Node.js Bot, Python Bot, Java Bot and .NET Bot (C#) run your own code.
• Red, Muse and JMusicBot are ready-made bots.

Change the type

1. Open your server in the panel and stay on Overview.
2. Click Edit Server Type (the chip that shows the current type at the top).
3. Choose the new type and follow the steps.
4. The server reinstalls. By default the dialog deletes the server's files, so download or back up anything you want to keep first. See How to create, download and restore backups.
5. Fill in the new type's fields under Settings, Game Settings and start the server.

Good to know

• Your plan, memory, storage and database stay the same. Only the software changes.
• The Discord token you saved is kept in the new type's token field only if the new type uses the same setting; check it after switching.
• You are billed the same. A type change is not an upgrade.
• To run two different bots at once you need two bot servers.
