How to Set Up NuVotifier & Vote Rewards on Your Minecraft Server

Listing your server on Minecraft voting sites (like Minecraft-MP, PlanetMinecraft, and Minecraft Server List) is one of the best ways to gain new players. NuVotifier is the standard plugin that allows server lists to communicate with your server whenever a player votes, allowing you to give out in-game rewards like diamonds, money, or crate keys automatically!

This guide will show you how to install NuVotifier, assign a voting port, get your Public Key, and configure vote rewards on your Cubes Hosting server.

Step 1: Install NuVotifier and a Vote Listener Plugin

NuVotifier handles the communication between voting websites and your server. To give actual rewards to players, you also need a Vote Listener plugin like VotingPlugin or SuperVotingPlugin.

1. Log in to your Cubes Hosting Game Panel and select your server.
2. Go to Tools > Plugin & Mod Installer on the left menu.
3. Search for and install:
   • NuVotifier (Receives votes from websites)
   • VotingPlugin (Gives rewards & manages /vote commands)
4. Go to your server Console and click Restart to generate configuration files.

Step 2: Assign a Votifier Port (Crucial Step!)

Voting websites send vote notifications over a dedicated port. For Votifier to receive votes, you must assign an extra port from your Game Panel.

1. Get an Additional Port

1. In your Game Panel, click on Network (or Allocations) on the left menu.
2. Look at your assigned ports. Note down your extra allocated port number (e.g. 8192 or 25575).

2. Configure config.yml

1. Open your Game Panel File Manager and navigate to:

   /plugins/Votifier/config.yml
   

2. Find the host: and port: settings:

   host: 0.0.0.0
   port: YOUR_EXTRA_PORT
   

   Example: port: 8192
3. Save the file and Restart your server.

Step 3: Get Your RSA Public Key & Add to Voting Sites

Voting websites encrypt vote data using a secret Public Key generated by NuVotifier.

1. Open your Game Panel File Manager.
2. Navigate to:

   /plugins/Votifier/rsa/public.key
   

3. Open public.key and copy the long string of text.
4. When registering your server on voting sites (like Minecraft-MP), enter:
   • Server IP: Your server IP address
   • Votifier Port: Your assigned extra port number
   • Votifier Public Key: Paste the exact text from public.key

You can test your setup on the voting site by clicking Test Votifier. If configured correctly, your server console will display a success message!

Step 4: Configuring Vote Rewards (VotingPlugin)

To give players diamonds, in-game money, or crate keys when they vote:

1. Open the File Manager and navigate to:

   /plugins/VotingPlugin/VoteNames.yml
   

2. Add the commands you want the server to execute when a player votes:

Rewards:
  Messages:
    Player: "&aThank you for voting! You received $500 and 5 Diamonds!"
  Commands:
    - "eco give %player% 500"
    - "give %player% diamond 5"

3. Save the file and run /votingplugin reload in-game or in the console.

Conclusion

Setting up NuVotifier takes your server from a private world to a growing community network. Install NuVotifier via Tools > Plugin Installer, bind your voting port, add your Public Key to server lists, and watch your server populating with new players!
