This update brings new features related to user experience and user interface. Below are some of these features implemented, but there are more features that, as they are small details, are not worth highlighting, but check the changelog to find out more.




Highly requested feature to group your workspaces

The entire sidebar has been redesigned to support this new feature.




Easier to stalk an item

Search for anything contained in any item in the current workspace.
A way to locate a selected item instantly has also been implemented.




For Inputs and Outputs

When hovering over any input or output of a block, a clearer and more user-friendly tooltip will be displayed to explain the port's usage.




Opening up new possibilities for Block Developers

Block Developers can now program the blocks to perform dynamic actions with limitless and unimaginable possibilities. Be aware that such capabilities may impact performance if used excessively.

For Block Developers: check out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Discord-Bot-Builder/Blocks/8cea95fafaf85aaed8f24c6ee70c9ab390b64134/templates/dynamic_block_test.js to find out how to make a dynamic block.

This is the first update related to the second phase of preview releases, where the new features are more about the bot this time. With that said, let's talk about the new DBB Bot v2.0:



The new bot.js file was made from scratch to offer a better performance and fidelity, and is now smarter than ever at detecting issues and having new mechanics. Below there are some of those new features:



Less action, or not...

DBB Bot v2.0 is smart to the point of being able to get values from blocks that had no direct connection previously (via the Action ports).
It's recommended that you continue connecting the blocks that may take longer to process and return the value (also known as asynchronous blocks), such as those that fetch data from the internet, read files, etc...
If you don't feel confident with this new logic, you can still continue connecting all the Action ports as usual.



It happens to the best of us

In the console, it will warn you whenever it runs a block with a required input not connected, showing you all the information to help you find the target input.

---

And more other blocks...

Finally added slash commands to DBB! The old prefix command system is obsolete and it's recommended (even by Discord) to switch to slash commands or other types of commands/interactions.



Being able to select more than one option

This new option type provides the ability to get a list of selected options, ordered by the user, and the block developer can even set:

• allowUserOptions = false - Whether to allow the user to write and select custom options
  
• duplicates = false - Whether to allow the user to select the same option more than once

---

Less scrolling and more accurate results at the top

Item Browser has a better algorithm to search for better overall results.



Less wires to connect

Instead of always right-clicking to open the Item Browser, you can also drag a wire to an empty spot to open it and then wiring the newly placed block automatically.

This update is about a substantial user interface change, the result of weeks of constant work and research. You will notice that there is a lot of work on the small details.
Initially, I thought I wouldn't need to make any more changes to the user interface for a while, but, in fact, there were many things to implement yet and more in the future.




A more intuitive, flexible and robust user interface

Now the user is less dependent on the application menu, making it easier to use and more versatile for adding new features, such as the new App Settings, located in the bottom left corner. There is more to discover...




Be more multitasking

Open more workspace and project in the same window and organize them however you want. You need to enable "Workspace Tabs" in the App Settings.

Missing your Ctrl+Z uh?

Select each Block and Note to copy and paste them into another workspace or even another project.

It took a while, but it's finally here the preview of the actual 1.0.0 full release!
It's been almost 3 months of continuous development, from scratch, to present today a brand new user interface. The actual first concept of v1.0.0 was made more than a year ago, but i had to discard it, because i wasn't satisfied with the result and the design didn't follow Discord's style.
Also, I have to apologize for not having provided any new updates or even information lately. I have to make this sacrifice to stay focused on my personal problems.




Inspired by some popular apps (besides Discord, of course)

The brand new user interface offers more agglomerated information, with a nicer experience and more animations.




Easier to know which Block you are dealing with!

When selecting the Block or Note to add, preview it by hovering the mouse over it, with a nice 3D animation.




No more 50x Blocks please...

You will be able to list more ports as you wish, reducing Block limitations in the future.
This feature is still experimental, as it hasn't been implemented in all the Blocks that may need it and hasn't been fully tested.

Update your bot.js file to support multiport feature!




Increase your productivity!

Select as many Blocks and Notes as you want, by pressing CTRL, or select them all by clicking the button in the top left corner.
You can also resize Blocks and Notes in ALL directions now!




Customize it to your liking.

It's even possible to copy/paste workspaces and turn them ON/OFF.




Flashbang!

Light Mode for fans who like to burn their eyes out.
Additionally, you no longer need to change the original CSS file to add your favorite anime character...
Check out the official DBB Community Themes repository!

Dev Tip: Go to Help -> Developer -> Show CSS Selector to find out which CSS selector to use in your CSS file. If you are having trouble applying your new styles, use !important flag.

• Added backup system.
  
• When creating a new project, you don't need to save it first.
  
• Added translations (only German, Portuguese, Russian and Swedish available at the moment). Check out the official DBB Community Translations repository! Thanks to Artem's nite, MissDaily, NotCallMeHacker and XCraftTM!
  
• There are no new blocks, nor any significant changes to the bot's code. This initial release focuses more on user experience.
  
• You may encounter bugs when using it, so please report them on our Discord Server!

• bot.js and blocks updated to Discord.js v14
  
• bot.js got an internal update
  
• New Audio Player blocks
  
• Added Bot Sharding support
  
• Fixed bugs

Make sure to backup your current bot folder before updating it. There are some blocks that will probably break, especially the Audio Player ones.
If you need to get and use the old bot files, use the new branch called "previous-bot-version-djs12-deprecated" by going to Properties -> Betas on Steam.



There is a new optional file (you can delete it and the bot will use the default value), called "INTENTS.txt", located in "data" folder, to change the Intents of your bot. You can use this calculator and copy and paste your Intents value in that file.

Make sure your Privileged Intents are right at https://discord.com/developers/applications or your bot won't run. If you don't know what to select, leave all options selected, although it is a bad practice:



You can try to run your bot with Sharding by going to your new bot folder and run the "Start Sharding.bat" file. Make sure to have the "sharding.js" file in your bot folder:
