How to Create Separators and Containers on Your Python Discord Bot

Note:

Separators are like visual dividers that break your bot’s messages into organized sections – think of them as the lines and headings that make information easy to scan and understand.

Containers (Discord calls them “Embeds”) are like pretty information boxes that package your content neatly with colors, borders, and organized fields – similar to how news apps show stories in clean, structured cards.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

3. Create Your Main Bot’s File

Create a new file called index.py then paste the following code.

What this code does:

• It creates a Discord bot that uses separators and embeds to organize information beautifully.
• The bot responds to the following commands:
  • !profile – Displays the user’s profile in a structured embed with custom separators and detailed fields.
  • !server – Shows server information formatted with separators for clarity.
  • !help – Sends a help menu embed, categorizing all available commands into sections.
• Custom separators are defined in a dictionary to improve message layout and readability.
• The code demonstrates different ways to structure messages using embeds and text formatting for a polished, visually organized look.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Calling our requirements
# We use commands.Bot for prefix-based commands like !profile
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True  # Required to read !commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

# Create custom separators
separators = {
    'header': '═' * 40,
    'section': '─' * 40,
    'thick': '█' * 40,
    'thin': '─' * 40,
    'dots': '•' * 40
}

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f' {bot.user.name} is online with beautiful formatting!')

# Command: !profile - Shows user info in a container
@bot.command()

    # Create an embed container (beautiful info box)

        color=0x0099FF # Blue border
    )
    
    profile_embed.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.author.display_avatar.url)
    
    # Adding fields with separators
    # \u200b is an invisible character used to create empty space
    profile_embed.add_field(name=separators['dots'], value='\u200b', inline=False)
    profile_embed.add_field(name=" User ID", value=ctx.author.id, inline=True)
