Javacord Bot

This is the bot used on the Javacord server.

I just want to use Javacord :-(

In this case you are wrong here. Just head over to the Javacord repository.

What's the difference to the example bot

The example bot is exactly what its name suggests: A bot which is solely used as an example for Javacord. It tries to cover some basic concepts to give you an idea how a bot using Javacord may look like. It is kept simple and has very verbose comments.

This bot however is actually used on our Discord Server and thus may contain a lot of specific features which are most likely not relevant to you. Simplicity also is not a goal for this bot, but you can still use this bot as a reference if you want to.
