Welcome to my repo of weird and wacky duct-taped together cogs for Red-DiscordBot. This is a collection of cogs I have made over time—fun experiments, server utilities, and things I wanted for my own communities.
Dev server: Join here
- Add the repo and install cogs via the Downloader cog:
[p]repo add TarsOnlineCafe https://github.com/nottherealtar/TarsOnlineCogs [p]cog install TarsOnlineCafe <cog> [p]load <cog>
Some cogs have additional requirements that will be installed automatically:
gamedatemate- aiohttpcafewelcome- numpy, pillowhowcracked- pillowteachme- aiohttp
The wider Red ecosystem is huge. These are third-party repos and cogs (not part of this repo) that tend to stay maintained, show up on the official index, and pair well with what you already ship here—moderation, community tools, and light fun.

Curated repo picks
| Repo | Why consider it | Example cogs |
|---|---|---|
| TrustyJAID/Trusty-cogs | Very active; utilities that complement custom mod stacks | ReTrigger (regex triggers), ExtendedModLog (richer server change logging), RoleTools (reaction / sticky roles) |
| AAA3A-AAA3A/AAA3A-cogs | Large, modern toolkit | Consolidated sanction-style flows, tickets/support-style workflows—useful if you want fewer one-off moderation bots |
| Flame442/FlameCogs | Good fit for gaming communities | Gameroles (roles when playing specific games—nice next to Arc Raiders / presence tooling), plus Hangman, Battleship, giveaways |
| tmercswims/tmerc-cogs | Long-standing misc collection | Run [p]cog list tmerc-cogs after adding the repo; handy ports and small utilities |
| laggron42/Laggrons-Dumb-Cogs | Classic Red v3 repo with extensive docs/wiki | Games and server tools—confirm each cog matches your Red version |
| Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot (core) | Ships with Red | Downloader, Scheduler (reminders), Economy, core Modlog—enable bundled cogs before duplicating the same features from third parties |
Caution: Community cogs vary in maintenance and license (GPL vs MIT, etc.). Prefer repos with recent commits, open issues/PRs, and clear info.json metadata. Avoid overlapping loads (e.g. two heavy automod stacks) without testing on a staging bot first.
