How to Setup VotingPlugin – Minecraft Java

Hello this is Karen from server pro and today we’re back with another tutorial and today I’m going to be teaching you how to set up votes in plugin so that you can give players rewards for voting on your minecraft server so let’s get straight into it so before we start with

The installation you will need to know a couple of things before you set up this plugin you will need a plug-in like new Voter fire or votive fire set up on your minecraft server if you don’t know how to do this giving a link in the description and they’ll be linked to

This video so you can learn how to set up new Voter fire so once you’ve got new Voter fire out all votes a fire setup we can begin the installation of voting plugin so once you’re ready to go let’s go ahead and install this problem so just click download now there’ll be a

Link to this page in the description down below click Save then go to your minecraft server in the control panel then go to the file manager then go to the plugins folder click upload file choose files and select votes import them and upload it and once you’ve done

That restart your server if you have any issues throughout this tutorial make sure that your server is running spigot as this plugin doesn’t thoroughly work on Bukit however once you’ve restarted your server that’s pretty much it so let’s go ahead and join our server to take a look at some other commands that

Are available in game so as you can see I’ve just joined my minecraft server so let us take a look at some of the commands which are available to vote simply so first let’s take a look at other standard command which is slash votes and as you can see here it brings

Up a GUI which will be able to configure later so later on we’ll be able to configure it so if you click this it will come up a message in chat that displays all the voting websites that you’ve configured to be displayed so let’s take a look at some of the other

Commands so if we type slash without health this lists basically all the commands that are available to normal players so I’m not going to go through all of these as there are loads of different commands and they all are commented on individually so you can pretty much read about what each one

Does so next we’re going to take a quick look at the administration Kwan’s so if we type slash a V help you can see that the admin vote commands appeared and we’re not really going to be using any of these and but feel free

To take a look at each them so now that we’ve joined the server and confirmed that the commands are working and the plugin is functioning we can go ahead and start configuring it so let’s go back into the control panel and we’ll take a look at the configuration files

So if you go to the file manager then the plugins folder then votes in plugin and you’ll see there are a collection of different ymail files and folders that we’re going to be taking a very quick look up so the first file that we’re going to take a look at is vote sites

Dot yml so in here you basically list all the websites that you want players to vote on so before you go ahead and edit this it is a good idea to list your web your minecraft server on some different websites so I’ve gone ahead and lifted my server on a planet

Minecraft and I’m only going to be doing one for this tutorial but you can add as many votes sites as you want so once you’ve listed out on a couple of voting sites or just one you can go ahead and start editing this file so inside of

This file by default you’ll see an example vote site so we’re going to edit this for the first vote site so we can understand how it works so let’s go down the list and change each setting appropriately so the vote site name I’m going to change to planet minecraft and

You can name this anything you want just don’t add a space make sure it’s all correctly and laid out so the next setting is whether you want to enable this vote site or not so I’m going to set this to true as I want this wrote

Site to be enabled in game then the next setting is going to be the display name for the voting site so again I’m just going to put planet minecraft as this is for the planet minecraft website so the next setting is priority so if you have more than one vote site installed that

This is where this comes into play if a vote site has a higher priority than a Nova it will come higher off in the list when someone types last vote and it’s why I only have one installed so I’m just going to leave out 5 and but feel

Free to configure that however you want so the next setting is the service name so basically this is the main part of the URL from the website that you’re voting from so for this vote site it’s planet minecraft so you need to get the main part of the domain which is planet

Minecraft comm so just copy that and paste it there I know it was already planet minecraft at in the example but what you would usually do if it was a different website so say if it was minecraft service dog and say you were voting on candy crafts you would use

Minecraft service dog and that’s what you would copy so just make sure you have the correct service name for the website which you’re on so the next setting is the vote URL so this is basically the URL where users will be taken to so in this case I’m already on

It for the planet minecraft forum but if you don’t know how to get to it go to your server list and then click a vote for them as a top server click on it and then just copy that URL and then paste it in between those quotations here so

The next setting is how many hours are in between votes so it depends on the website that you’re voting on and for planet minecraft you can vote once per day so that’s once per every 24 hours so for most web sites it will be 24

Hours and so to set it to 24 unless your website is different so the next session is vote delay daily so this basically resets the vote delay each day so if a player votes at 9 o’clock at night basically they’ll be able to a vote at 9

O’clock in the morning as well they don’t have to wait 24 hours between each so it’s more about voting daily and however most sites don’t do this so just leave this as false unless you know your website does this so the next setting is give offline so this is basically

Whether it gives the rewards when the play is offline or not and this can cause troubles as sometimes players won’t get items and things and so I recommend leaving this as false so the next setting is the item which is displayed in the GUI for this vote site

So if you remember when we type slash vote usually just an emerald icon appears for the default settings and so for the first vote site I’m just going to leave it as a diamond does that’s how it is and I’m only gonna be having one vote site but you can change the

Material and the amount it displays as and stuff in the GUI so the next setting that we’re going to be taking a look at is the rewards so this plugin has different ways of defining rewards you can do it directly on the vote sites or you can do it in different files we’re

Going to be doing it directly on the vote sites as it’s one of the most simplest ways to do it so to get started let’s start editing the rewards section so by default it’s set to use the file system but we’re not going to be using

That as I’ve explained it’s a bit more complicated and so just remove and then it’s important here while to edit earnest that you follow the correct formatting procedure so that everything lines up correctly with the correct amount of spaces and so on so if you just type a couple of spaces so it’s

Below the W Vaughn rewards and if we type commands colon and then enter a new line and then go below the first M and type console and new line and then go all the way up to just below the C and type a – then quick create some quotes

And then in here we can type a command which is going to run so let’s say when a player votes we want to give them one diamond you would type give % player % and this would fill in with the players name not voted so say if John voted it

Would say give a John and then diamond won so this means it will give that player at one diamond and let’s say we wanted to also give them a stick for example just do the same thing give % player % stick one and you can do

Any command it doesn’t have to be these rooms so let’s say you wanted to give some money to a player and you had essentials installed you could do slash eco give % player percent and then the amount and but we don’t have that we’re just going to be sticking with these two

Items for now but you can add any command you want and as many commands as one there is no limit to the commands that you add so once you’ve done that that’s pretty much all about sites and now we’ve got the reward set up we’ve set up and the links the names the

Priority and so on so once you’ve done all of this click Save and then restart your server and then just quickly before we join and test this we’re going to take a very quick look at the config dot yml file so this file is basically and all the settings that are available to

The plugin you can change so many different things in here but it is all commented very nicely so you can go through this yourself and learn how to set it up in there way that you wish you can change how messages are displayed color codes and various different

Settings but again it you can see is a very large file so we’re not going to go in through all in this tutorial but feel free to go through it and by yourself and just read the comments for each set so once you’ve made any changes to this

File again just click Save and then again restart your server so now that we’ve configured everything we can go ahead and join the server and test the voting so as you can see I’ve just joined my server and if we go to type slash vote it will bring up a GUI and if

We click all votes voting sites it will come up with the ones that we’ve added so if we open the chat and then click that link click yes it should take us directly to the voting and link or site that we entered earlier so if I type in

My username and then click vote the vote should go through so as you can see the vote went through successfully so if I go ahead and go back onto my server so as you can see on my server I’ve been given the diamond and the stick and it

Said a couple of announcements directly to me and it’s broadcasted one to the server and as you can see it did run the commands through the server and as I’m an operator on a server I can see that those commands were wrong so again this is basically all you need to know about

The votes in plugin it’s a really nice plugin manna has loads of customizable features and which makes this plugin great so if you need any further help with this plug-in feel free to take a look at the wiki there’ll be a link to this down in the description below and
