Java server with Votifier

Four short steps, from a new account to your first votes. Listing is free.

← All guides

What you need

  • A Minecraft Java server that is online.
  • For vote rewards: the NuVotifier plugin and a plugin that gives rewards (for example VotingPlugin).

Step 1: Create your account

It's free. You manage your servers from it.

  1. Open Sign up. Pick a Username, type your Email and a Password of at least 12 characters.
  2. Press Create account, then click the link we email you (it works for 24 hours).

Step 2: Add your server

Keep your server online while you do this.

  1. Open Add server in the menu at the top.
  2. Under Edition, pick Java.
  3. Type the Server name, the IP / Host players use, and the Java port (usually 25565).
  4. Write a Description of at least 200 characters and pick 1 to 7 Tags.
  5. Press Add server. We check that your server is online, then it's on the list.
The Add your server form with Java picked: server name, IP / Host, Java port, a description and the chosen tags.
Add your server, with Java picked.

Step 3: Set up vote rewards

Optional

A player votes, and your server gives them a reward in the game.

  1. Install NuVotifier and your reward plugin. Restart the server.
  2. Open NuVotifier's port at your host or firewall (default 8192).
  3. On your server's page, find Votifier: vote rewards and pick NuVotifier (token).
  4. Type the Votifier port and paste the Token from plugins/NuVotifier/config.yml (the line after “default”).
  5. Type your own name and press Send test vote. You should get the reward in the game.

Tip: you can also do this while adding: tick Set up vote rewards now. Test fails? See When the test vote fails.

The card Votifier: vote rewards on a server's page, after a test vote: the server accepted the test vote.
The test vote arrived: vote rewards work.

Step 4: Share your vote link

The list is ranked by votes this month.

  1. Your vote link is craftvote.com/server/your-server-name/vote. The Vote for … button on your server's page opens it.
  2. Put it on your website, in your Discord and in your vote plugin.
  3. Players vote once a day with their Minecraft username. No account needed.
The vote page of a Java server: a box for the Minecraft username and the Vote button.
The vote page your players see.
