Minecraft Voting Plugin Install Guide

Step 1: Download the Voting plugin

First, you'll need to find a Voting plugin that suits your needs. A popular choice is the "Votifier" plugin, which allows players to vote for your server on various Minecraft server lists. You can download Votifier from the BukkitDev website: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/votifier. Make sure to download the version of Votifier that matches your Minecraft server version.

Step 2: Install the Voting plugin

Once you've downloaded the Voting plugin, you'll need to install it on your Minecraft server. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Connect to your server using an FTP client, such as FileZilla.
2. Navigate to the "plugins" folder on your server.
3. Drag and drop the Voting plugin (Votifier.jar) file you downloaded in Step 1 into the "plugins" folder.

Step 3: Configure the Voting plugin

After you've installed the Voting plugin, you'll need to configure it to work with your server. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the "config.yml" file located in the "plugins/Votifier" folder.
2. Modify the configuration settings as desired. You can find detailed information about the available configuration options on the Votifier BukkitDev page: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/votifier/pages/configuration
3. Save the changes you made to the "config.yml" file.

Step 4: Set up a voting site

In order for players to vote for your server, you'll need to set up a voting site. There are many voting sites available, such as minecraft-server-list.com, topg.org, and planetminecraft.com.

To set up a voting site, follow these steps:

1. Register an account on the voting site of your choice.
2. Add your Minecraft server to the voting site. This usually involves entering your server's IP address, port number, and other information into a form on the voting site.
3. Configure the rewards that players will receive for voting. This may involve setting up a rewards plugin, such as the "VotingPlugin" plugin (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/votingplugin.15358/), which allows you to give players items or in-game currency for voting.

Step 5: Test the Voting plugin

Finally, you'll want to test that the Voting plugin is working as expected. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Connect to your Minecraft server using a Minecraft client.
2. Log in as a player and type "/vote" in the chat. This should display a list of voting sites where players can vote for your server.
3. Log out and try voting for your server on one of the voting sites you set up in Step 4.
4. Check to see if the rewards you set up in Step 4 are given to players who vote.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured a Voting plugin on your Minecraft server.
