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:
- Connect to your server using an FTP client, such as FileZilla.
- Navigate to the "plugins" folder on your server.
- 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:
- Open the "config.yml" file located in the "plugins/Votifier" folder.
- 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
- 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:
- Register an account on the voting site of your choice.
- 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.
- 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:
- Connect to your Minecraft server using a Minecraft client.
- 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.
- Log out and try voting for your server on one of the voting sites you set up in Step 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.
