How to set up Votifier for a Minecraft server

Votifier-compatible plugins receive notifications from Minecraft server-list websites when a player votes for your server. A rewards plugin can then run commands or give items to that player.

Before you begin

You need plugin-compatible Java server software such as Paper or Spigot. Install a maintained Votifier implementation, such as NuVotifier, plus a separate vote-listener or rewards plugin if you want to grant rewards.

Configure Votifier

1. Install the Votifier-compatible plugin and restart once to generate its configuration.
2. In the instance network settings, add an available TCP port.
3. Set the plugin's listening port to the internal port shown in the network settings.
4. Bind the plugin to 0.0.0.0 if its configuration requires a listening address.
5. Save the configuration and restart the server.
6. Copy the public key generated by the plugin. Check the plugin folder and documentation for its location.
7. Give each server-list website your server address, the allocated external port, and the public key.
8. Send a test vote and check the console to confirm it was received.

Troubleshoot voting

• Confirm the voting site uses the external port shown in the panel.
• Confirm the plugin uses the matching internal port.
• Check that the port protocol is TCP and the server is online during the test.
• Review the console for bind errors, invalid keys, or incompatible protocol versions.
• Configure rewards separately; receiving a vote does not automatically create a reward.
