Linking accounts

Linking ties a Minecraft account to one channel per platform. It needs the streamgate.link permission, which is granted to everyone by default.

  1. In game, run /streamgate link <platform>. The server replies with a six-character code that is valid for ten minutes.

  2. Open the authorization page shown in chat and sign in to the platform. Enter the code when asked.

  3. Back in game, the player gets a confirmation and the link shows up in /streamgate status.

  • Scopes requested: read chat, read follows and subscriptions. StreamGate never posts as the streamer unless the chat bridge is set to two-way.
  • Twitch tokens expire after 60 days of inactivity. Since 1.6.1 the backend refreshes them on its own; older versions needed the streamer to link again.

/streamgate unlink <platform> removes the link and revokes the stored token on the backend at once. Staff with streamgate.admin can unlink anyone with /streamgate unlink <platform> <player>.
