How to Set Up Votifier (NuVotifier) on Your Minecraft Server at MCServerHost

One of the best ways to increase your Minecraft Server's popularity is by adding it to major Minecraft voting sites such as Minecraft-MP, TopMinecraftServers, and many others. These sites allow players to vote for your Minecraft Server every 12 to 24 hours depending on the site. The more votes your server has, the higher it will rank, which will allow your server to gain more visibility among new players looking for servers to play on.

The best way to encourage players to vote for your server is by offering them a reward for voting. After all, who wants to visit a random voting site to give a vote to a Minecraft Server on a daily basis?! This is where Votifier (NuVotifier) comes into the frame. This plugin allows the server to track the players who voted for the server for you in order to reward them accordingly.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the entire process of installing Votifier (NuVotifier) and configuring it on your Minecraft Server. The plugin doesn't require much experience to configure and is very easy to install.

Installing Votifier (NuVotifier)

Before proceeding any further with the tutorial, we recommend you install Votifier (NuVotifier) from the SpigotMC marketplace (or Modrinth) and make sure that it is compatible with your server type and version.

1. Log in to your MCServerHost dashboard, and stop your server in order to avoid any type of error while installing the plugin into your server.
2. Go to the File Manager (Files), upload the NuVotifier .jar file into your plugins folder.

1. Restart your server in order to let the plugin create its configuration files on the server.

Allocating an Additional Port

Votifier requires an extra port to function because it needs a dedicated channel to handle vote traffic separately from the usual game traffic. To allocate an additional port to your server, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Network tab in your MCServerHost dashboard.
2. Click Add Allocation to request and generate a new port for your server.

1. Note down the newly allocated port number before proceeding to the next step.

Configuring Votifier (NuVotifier)

On allocating an additional port to the server, you can start the configuration process of Votifier (NuVotifier) by following the steps given below:

1. Head toward the File Manager (Files), go to the plugins folder, and locate the Votifier configuration folder.
2. Inside the configuration folder, locate the file named config.yml and edit the following field:
   • port: Set this to your newly allocated secondary port (e.g., 12260)

1. Save the changes and restart your server in order to let the changes take place.

Common Issues

• Not Receiving Rewards After Voting: Votifier itself only listens for votes; it doesn’t handle rewards. You will need a separate reward plugin to give items, money, or perks to players after they vote. Popular choices include VotingPlugin or SuperbVote. To learn how to add and configure a reward plugin, check out our guide on How to Reward Players for Voting on Your Minecraft Server.
• Checking Functionality: To verify that the plugin is working properly and receiving votes, you can use a public tester such as the Votifier Tester.

Conclusion

Setting up Votifier (NuVotifier) on your Minecraft Server is a great way to increase your server engagement and boost its visibility to new players. By using the plugin, you can easily create a win-win situation where players get great rewards for voting, and your server gets increased visibility for it.
