embed=discord.Embed(title="%%%PLAYER%%% has pinged the map!", description="%%%%%CONGFIG:world_name%%%%%", color=%%%%%CONFIG:color%%%%%)
embed.set_author(name="%%%%%CONFIG:server_name%%%%%", icon_url="%%%%%CONFIG:imageURL2.png%%%%%")
embed.set_thumbnail(url="%%%%%CONFIG:imageURL1a.png%%%%%")
embed.add_field(name="coordinates:", value="%%%COORDINATES_FROM_MAP%%%", inline=False)
embed.set_footer(text="%%Date&time_TIMESTAMP%%")
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

It would be pretty awesome to do death messages in a similar format =]

instead of embeds, you could also do code blocks which allows more colors to be used.
example:

```diff
!    Player123ABC    !
- CONFIG death message here about how your character died of dysentery -
---   timestamp   ---
*** coorditates:  ***
! ( -123, 77, -365 ) !

embeds look better, and mobile won't display colors anyway, but it does look nice on the desktop as a code block with multiple colors

from valheim-discordconnector.

Server Startup & Shutdown messages would probably also look good as embeds

Starting: color=0xff0000
Running: color=0x00ff00
Stopping: color=0xffff00

These colors are the highlight color next to the embed? Is this JSON from your first post what you suggest for the messages?

{
	"embed": {
		"footer": {
			"text": "%%Date&Time_TIMESTAMP%%"
		},
		"thumbnail": {
			"width": 810,
			"url": "%%%%%CONFIG:imageURL1a.png%%%%%",
			"proxy_url": "%%%%%CONFIG:imageURL1b.png%%%%%",

	}
}

correct, that is the color of the embed. I also made an example with python code below that. I use the json in Discord with bots etc...

discovered i could just do

md whatever I want as my message

from with in the config & discord will display it as a code block so I can do formatting that way and looks nice for some of the messages =]

wish I could ping roles with the messages, but it doesnt seem to pass the @name/role through
