Continuing from above comment It's now line 150, and change it to

stream.write(json.toString().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

did this, still getting the same issue. but now on connection.getInputStream().close();?

I have the same problem, did you find a fix?

send us your code so we can help u

i dont know anything about java or making my own code😭, does anyone know how I'm able to change the color of the messages in discord or if possible anyway to use discords embedded messages code

Thanks! very usefull

new line

System.getProperty("line.separator")

for me, that just caused an error 400 - dont do that.

instead, i did "\\n" after a lot of trial and error which is what discord needs, as once java formats it, it is now "\n" in the request which is what discord uses for a newline, not an actual newline character

Anyone knows how to add files to a message?

me too

in toString()
return builder.toString(); → return builder.toString().replace("\n","\n");

If using libraries is an option, you can replace JSONObject with org.codehaus.jettison:jettison's implementation of JSONObject.
That seems to work more reliably than the one provided.

Is anyone still using this ? I still got Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL:
Already edit code base on comment

stream.write(json.toString().getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Yes, I am using it and it works great.
You can try to use \\n instead of \n.
Or remove JSONObject class from DiscordWebhook class and use org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONObject instead.
You can use either one (but not both).

I don't know where to find \n but when I replace JSONObject to org.codehaus.jettison.json.JSONObject I still got Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL:

Please post a minimum reproducible example then I may be able to help.

Here is the source code using Discord Webhook the java class is in utils folder

It seems your issue is trying to get plugin.getConfig().getString("discord-webhook.thumbnail") instead of plugin.getConfig().getString("discord-webhook.thumbnail.icon").
That will result in invalid value for the thumbnail url.

It is always a good idea to put a breakpoint at DiscordWebhook line 150, so you can check the json it is sending and compare it with the docs.

Oh I get wrong string on that 😅 thank for tell me about it

Any way to use BufferedImage instead of an URL in setImage?

Can you send me a working sample embed code?

in toString() return builder.toString(); → return builder.toString().replace("\n","\n");

You are the biggest W ever, this worked for me after trial and error for a while. I don't know how i didn't see the comment xD

For everybody who wants a Gradle / Maven dependency:

I created a repository from this gist: https://github.com/micartey/webhookly
I also improved the code style and readability

What's the license on this code? According to this topic "Gists are considered like repositories with regards to licensing." And from this If you find software that doesn’t have a license, that generally means you have no permission from the creators of the software to use, modify, or share the software. Although a code host such as GitHub may allow you to view and fork the code, this does not imply that you are permitted to use, modify, or share the software for any purpose.
