Hey, @SierraNolan welcome to the forums!

When you make the client in discord.js v14 (and later maybe) you need to add intents when you declare the client. How I do not.

Yes there, you need to include intents

try something like the included example in the docs:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({
	intents: [
		GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
		GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
		GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
		GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
	],
});

I think this is it @not-ethan :eyes:

you also need to enable the message content intent in the ‘Bot’ section of your app in the discord developer portal.
Or, move to slash commands because those are more integrated and will be your only choice after your bot grows to need verification (make sure you stick with using an environment variable and not config.json)
