Incentivizing Community Growth

NuVotifier (the modernized and secure iteration of the original Votifier plugin) is a critical tool for server marketing and player acquisition. It enables external server listing websites to programmatically notify your server the instant a player submits a vote. By acknowledging these votes in real-time, you can automate rewarding your community with in-game currency, rare items, or crate keys, fostering a self-sustaining cycle of server visibility and community engagement.

Installation & Port Configuration

Follow these steps to initialize the voting listener on your Paper, Spigot, or Purpur server.
1

Acquire Latest Build

Download the appropriate JAR from the official NuVotifier Spigot Repository.
2

Deploy to Plugins

Using the Game Panel File Manager, upload the JAR into your server’s /plugins/ directory.
3

Initialize Environment

Restart your server to generate the necessary configuration files and RSA security keys.
4

Request Port Allocation

Important: NuVotifier requires a dedicated open port (Default 8192) to receive incoming webhooks. On our high-performance clusters, you must Open a Support Ticket to have a unique technical port assigned specifically for your voting listener.

Once you have received your unique port from our support team, you must authorize external websites to communicate with your instance.
1

Configure the Listener

Open /plugins/Votifier/config.yml and update the port: variable to your assigned value. Ensure the host: is set to 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces.
2

Retrieve the Public Key

Navigate to /plugins/Votifier/rsa/public.key. Open this file and copy the entire alphanumeric string precisely. This is your server’s unique cryptographic identity.
3

Register on Server Lists

Visit your preferred server listing sites (e.g., PlanetMinecraft). Locate the “Votifier Settings” section and paste your Server IP, Assigned Port, and Public Key.

Logic vs. Rewards

It is important to understand that NuVotifier only receives the notification that a vote occurred. It does not possess the inherent logic to give items or execute commands. To automate rewards, you must install a secondary “Vote Listener” plugin such as AdvancedVote, SuperVoter, or VoteParty.
Most server list websites provide a “Test Vote” button. After configuring your listener, use this tool while monitoring your server console. You should observe a log entry confirming that a “Votifier vote was received,” indicating a successful technical handshake.
