Step 1 — Install Votifier
Download the latest Votifier .jar from SpigotMC and drop it into /plugins/. Restart the server. On first start Votifier creates a /plugins/Votifier/config.yml and a public/private RSA keypair. The public key is what you paste into MCVote's server edit form; the private key stays on your server.
Step 2 — Forward port 8192
Votifier listens on TCP 8192 by default. Open this port on your router (TCP, not UDP) and point it at your Minecraft server's LAN IP. Test with /tools/votifier-tester to confirm the listening port is reachable.
Step 3 — Connect a listener
In MCVote's dashboard, open your server's edit form and paste the public key + listening address (host:port). Submit. Every vote for your server will now post a payload to your Votifier listener.
Step 4 — Reward your players
Install a reward listener like NuVotifier or VotifierPlus and configure vote rewards per rank (cash, items, broadcast, key). Most servers thank voters with a broadcast and a single-use reward key, then trigger a 'thank you' message in chat.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Votifier default port?
8192 TCP. If you change it, update the listing on MCVote to match.
Can I use Votifier with Velocity or BungeeCord?
Yes — run Votifier on the proxy (recommended) so vote rewards are tied to the right backend sub-server. Most networks take this approach.
My votes don't trigger rewards. What now?
Walk through the four steps: jar installed, port 8192 reachable from the internet, public key on MCVote, reward listener config. The /tools/votifier-tester page will fail at the relevant step.
