Xenon Premium
Back up what you build
Xenon can save your server's channels, roles, and settings for free, so you can restore it after a raid. Premium also saves messages, bans, and role assignments.
See PremiumRoleplay server templates
Roleplay servers fail most often when in-character and out-of-character conversation happens in the same channel. Every layout here separates them at the category level, so the split is visible instead of a rule people have to remember.
They also tend to be the largest templates in the gallery, since a channel per location adds up quickly. Most carry a character submission and approval flow at the front. That's where the permission setup does its work.
What these layouts carry
- In-character and out-of-character split at the category level
- A channel per location or scene, so two scenes can run at once without colliding
- Character submission, approval, and a lore or reference category people can read back through
Why start from a template
A Discord server template is a complete layout someone has already built and published. It holds channels, categories, roles, and permissions. Applying one to a new or existing server takes a single command and saves an evening of setup.
Several sites offer these, and they aren't the same product. Galleries, generators, and AI builders compared.
Copy a proven layout
Templates with thousands of uses have run in real communities rather than been sketched for a gallery. Read the permissions before you announce anything. A template carries whatever its author set.
Built for a purpose
Browse by category, like gaming, school, support, roleplay, development, or clan. Each layout assumes a different kind of server.
Publish your own
If your structure works, share it. Make a template in your server settings, submit the link here, and other admins can use it. The stars stay on your entry.
Apply to an existing server
You don’t need an empty server. Applying one replaces the current structure, so back up first if you have something worth keeping.
No bots required
A template only defines channels and roles, so the layout arrives working with no bot installed. The ones a description mentions are yours to invite afterwards.
Applying a template
Templates carry structure only, so nothing personal from the original server comes with them. Back up first, because applying one replaces the channels and roles you have now.
- 01Find a template here on the site or with /template list in Discord.
- 02Run /backup create on your server first, so the change can be undone.
- 03Run /template load with the code. The layout is applied to your server.

Template questions
Our Discord server is the fastest way to get an answer from a human.
Join our DiscordDoes the character approval part work on its own?
Partly. The channels and permissions arrive set up, so submissions land somewhere only staff can act on. The bot the original server used for forms isn't part of the template. Add your own, or run the process by hand.
These have a lot of channels. Is that a problem?
No. Discord allows 500 per server, so the size is fine. Empty channels are what hurt, so apply the layout and cut it down to the locations your story uses.
Are templates really free?
Yes, all of them, on the free plan. Templates are contributed by the community and there’s no paid tier for using them.
Will applying a template delete my server?
No, but it replaces the channels and roles with the ones in the template. Run /backup create first and you can undo it.
Do templates include messages or members?
No. A template only carries structure. Nothing personal from the original server is published with it.
How do I publish my own?
Create a template in your server’s own settings, under Server Template, then paste the link into the submit form here. You choose the name and description in Discord, and the category on the form.
Submit a templateWhat’s the difference between a template and a backup?
A backup is private to your account and can include messages and member data. A template is public, structure only, and anyone can use it.
Is every template checked before it appears?
Yes. A listing has to name and describe the server it actually offers. Anything with no place in a public gallery is refused, so a template called "test" with an empty description never reaches the listing.
Built a server worth copying?
Publish your server's template from the dashboard. Other admins can apply it in one command, and you keep the stars.
