How would one go about setting up an IRC server and making a bridge to
discord, don't ask why please, my reasons add nothing.

While you said don’t ask why…

My theory, having a better understanding of why you want this might
help figure out a solution. Are you using it for alerts? Using it for
XDCC? Is it two way communication from IRC to Discord and Discord to
IRC or one way communication? I’ve never run my own IRC server
although I’ve used it for the past 20+ years.

I just want to use discord through it, also of i have access to
discord through IRC i can use it from within Minecraft via the open
computer mod.

I also heard IRC is just better so i want to hop on that bandwagon.

Setting up an IRC server is not a trivial task. If you’re willing to
learn, then pick an ircd, read through the documentation on how to
install, configure, and secure it (note: most only support Linux), and
have somewhere where it is accessible to connect to.

Alternatively, create a channel on one of the many IRC networks that
already exist, which lets you skip that step.

Once you have IRC set up, the next step is to run or use a bot that
bridges IRC and discord. I’d suggest Matterbridge for this.

Ok I'll try that, but which IRC network would you recommend, i don't
know any

I have an irc client and channel now, how exactly would i go about
setting up matterbridge with irc.ircnet.com
