Changelog

FluxShards are here: a new paid currency with its own Shard Shop, a limited Founders Bundle, and new profile unlocks.

FluxShards and the Shard Shop

• FluxShards is a new paid currency, bought in packs through Stripe, from 1,500 to 32,500 Shards with up to 30% extra on the bigger packs. It’s kept separate from FL Tokens, which you still earn by taking part. You need to be 18 or over to buy. Buyers in Brazil verify their age once first; everyone else ticks an 18+ box.
• The Shard Shop has its own section in the dashboard, with Shards-only name effects, frames, banner effects, titles, flairs, and accent colours. A dressing room lets you try any mix on your own profile before you buy.
• The Founders Bundle. Only 10 will ever be sold, one per person, over 30 days: a Founder badge, the Founder’s Gilt frame, the Founder title, and the Gold Leaf name effect, none of which can be bought any other way. It costs 12,000 Shards, and 2,000 come straight back.
• Season 1 collection. The Ember, Frost, and Prism Shard frames, the Prism Rain banner effect, the Shardbearer, Early Light, and Crystal Heart titles, the Gem and Crystal Ball flairs, and the Shard Orange and Shard Violet accents.
• Profile unlocks. A Markdown bio (3,000 Shards) and a profile section editor (4,000 Shards) that reorders or hides sections on your profile, or leaves single listings off it. Each is a one-time unlock.
• Bragging rights. You can choose to show your Shards balance on your profile and to appear on the Sponsors page. Both are off unless you turn them on.
• Sponsored Spotlight. The home page Spotlight is now a weekly FluxShards auction with a Sponsored label. Bidding opens at 500 Shards, and outbid Shards come straight back.
• Legal pages. There’s a new Refund Policy, and the Terms and Privacy Policy now cover FluxShards.

Also new

• Hide listing. Owners can take a live server, bot, theme, or instance off Browse, search, feeds, leaderboards, Spotlight, the public API, and profiles without deleting it. It keeps its votes and reviews, and Show listing puts it back.
• 18+ instances. Self-hosted instances can be marked 18+, just like servers. They’re hidden from Browse Instances unless you’re signed in with 18+ listings turned on, and stay blurred until you choose to show them.
• Food category for servers and bots about food, cooking, recipes, or restaurants, with a filter on Browse Servers and Browse Bots.
• Suggest new server tags when you add or edit your server. Once a reviewer approves a tag, every server can use it.
• Administrator warning for custom bot invites. Custom or vanity invite links don’t show a bot’s permissions, so reviewers can now mark a bot as having admin permission. Its page then shows the Administrator warning.

API

• requestsAdministrator is a new boolean on GET /api/v1/bots/{id} and GET /api/v1/users/@me/bots. It’s true when a bot asks for Administrator, including when reviewers have marked it because of a custom invite link.
• Hidden listings return 404 from GET /api/v1/bots/{id} and GET /api/v1/servers/{id}, and their stat badges show “not found”. They still appear in your own /users/@me lists.
