Migration steps
Section titled “Migration steps”Step 1: Add Ori
Section titled “Step 1: Add Ori”Add Ori to your server. Both bots can run side by side while you migrate.
Step 2: Configure Ori’s plugins
Section titled “Step 2: Configure Ori’s plugins”Open the Ori dashboard and set up the plugins you want:
- Welcome — recreate your welcome message. Ori supports text and embed formats with variables.
- Reaction Roles — recreate your role menus. Ori uses buttons instead of reactions (more reliable, same concept).
- Moderation — enable moderation for
/kick,/ban,/mute,/warn,/purge. Set your mod-log channel. - Auto-Role — set a default role for new members (this is premium-only in MEE6).
Step 3: Test each plugin
Section titled “Step 3: Test each plugin”Every Ori plugin has a test function. Verify each one works before going live.
Step 4: Disable MEE6’s overlapping features
Section titled “Step 4: Disable MEE6’s overlapping features”Once you’ve confirmed Ori is working:
- Open MEE6’s dashboard
- Disable the features that Ori now handles (welcome, reaction roles, moderation, auto-role)
- Keep MEE6 for any features Ori doesn’t cover (e.g., leveling, music)
Step 5: Optional — remove MEE6 entirely
Section titled “Step 5: Optional — remove MEE6 entirely”If Ori covers everything you need, you can remove MEE6 from your server entirely. Go to Server Settings → Integrations → MEE6 → Remove.
What MEE6 features does Ori not have?

- Custom commands — Ori does not support user-defined text commands
- Timed messages — Ori does not schedule recurring messages

Do I lose any data when switching?
Section titled “Do I lose any data when switching?”No data transfers between MEE6 and Ori. Each bot has independent configuration. MEE6’s moderation logs stay in MEE6. You’ll start fresh with Ori’s logging — which is fine, since Ori logs everything to your mod-log channel from the moment you enable it.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Can I run MEE6 and Ori at the same time? Yes. They operate independently. Just make sure they’re not both doing the same thing (e.g., both sending welcome messages) or your members will see duplicates.
Will my existing reaction role messages still work? MEE6’s reaction role messages will continue working as long as MEE6 is in the server. Ori creates new, separate reaction role messages. You’ll need to recreate your role menus in Ori’s dashboard.
Is Ori really free? What’s the catch? Ori is free. Every feature listed in this comparison is available at no cost. There is no premium tier, no feature gates, and no “free trial” expiration.
