Ever wished your Discord friends could see exactly what you're up to in Minecraft — down to the dimension and world name? Simple Discord RPC Mod makes that happen by connecting your game session to Discord's Rich Presence system, letting you broadcast your Minecraft activity with custom icons and real-time status updates. Downloaded over 2.1 million times since its 2021 release, this lightweight utility has become a go-to choice for modpack creators who want branding on Discord and everyday players who prefer a polished presence over the generic "Playing Minecraft" label.
Key Features
- Rich Status Display — Shows detailed information on your Discord profile including the current world, dimension, and in-game activity so friends always know what you're doing.
- Custom Icons — Set personalized large and small images for your Discord status, perfect for modpack branding or personal flair.
- Real-Time Updates — Your Discord presence automatically refreshes as you switch worlds, change dimensions, or move between activities — no manual intervention needed.
- In-Game Configuration — Modify all settings through a built-in GUI without ever touching config files manually.
- Toggle On/Off — Enable or disable the Rich Presence feature at any time, giving you full control over when your status is visible.

FAQ
Does Simple Discord RPC work with modpacks?
Yes — it's specifically designed for modpack use. You can set a custom modpack name and icons so your Discord status displays your modpack branding instead of just "Minecraft."
Do I need to configure anything after installing?
No, the mod works out of the box with sensible defaults. However, if you want to customize the icons or displayed text, you can do so through the mod's built-in GUI in-game.
Why does my config break after updating from an older version?
Config files from Simple RPC version 3.x and below are not compatible with newer releases. After updating, you'll need to redo your configuration through the in-game settings GUI or delete the old config file to generate a fresh one.
