Handles
Handles is a server-specific Discord bot developed by Chew for the TARDIS Minecraft plugin Discord server. It was created shortly after the server was in April 2020 and written in Ruby with discordrb, much like the original Chewbotcca bot. It was rewritten as a Cloudflare Worker in January 2026.
History
The bot and all of its commands were created on April 4, 2020, and was finish on April 5, 2020. A bug relating to build checking was fixed on July 31, 2020, and various other fixes were made throughout the rest of 2020. It was not until 2023 when it got more changes, improving the wiki command (as it moved to a new wiki site), and cleaning up old code. The wiki command was once again fixed in January 2024. Finally, in September 2025, the original build checker was removed as the TARDIS Jenkins site went down.
In January 2026, a new repository was created with the bot being written in TypeScript using the Dressed Discord library. It was chosen so the bot could use HTTP interactions instead of the Discord gateway like the old bot. Only the ping and wiki commands were brought over, however.
