What is jdiscordcalendarbot?

This bot keeps a Discord text channel calendar in sync with an Enjin website calendar, so your community always has up-to-date event information without anyone manually copying entries over. It's a work-in-progress rewrite of an earlier bot, focused on being much more resilient when things go wrong. The core value is reliability. Instead of breaking when external services have issues, it handles problems gracefully. If Discord's servers hiccup, the bot waits 10 minutes and tries again. If Enjin goes down, it does the same. If the network proxy fails, it switches to a different one from a list, testing each with a basic connectivity check before using it. It also pings Enjin at most once every two hours (adjustable) to avoid hammering their servers, and saves all calendar data to disk with a 60-day automatic cleanup. That means if the bot crashes and restarts, it picks up where it left off rather than rebuilding everything from scratch. The whole thing is set up to auto-restart on crash, so it only truly goes down if the machine it runs on goes down. This is built for gaming communities, guilds, or any group that uses Enjin for their website and Discord for day-to-day chat. If you run a Minecraft server clan or an MMO raiding group, you probably post events on Enjin but actually hang out in Discord. This bot bridges that gap automatically. The tradeoff is that it's still a work in progress. Some planned features aren't done yet, like a command to list events on demand or an instant calendar refresh at midnight when the date rolls over. The README also notes some internal cleanup work is pending. So it works for its core purpose, but isn't fully polished yet.
