VoteRoulette
Randomized rewards for voting
Home | Permissions | Commands | Config Guide | Files | Change Log | Dev
VoteRoulette is a comprehensive, customizable, and fun Votifier vote listener. VoteRoulette allows you to make a list of rewards and players will receive one at random when they vote for your server on Minecraft server lists. This makes voting exciting and different each time a player votes and will encourage them to vote again to see what they will get next time!
Features
- Extremely flexible! VoteRoulette doesn't just give anything, it does anything.
- Easy to setup! Includes an in-game Award Creator. Avoid those pesky YAML syntax errors!
- Highly customizable rewards!
- Rewards can contain any combination of items, currency, commands, and xp levels.
- Items in rewards support enchants, custom names, lore descriptions, variable amounts, and Data ID's (For things like colored wool, or any other block/item in the game).
- Rewards have tons of other options too! Set things such as permission groups (Vault required), chance modifiers, delays for commands, eligible websites, eligible players, number of consecutive days of voting required, and so much more! (See the Config Guide.
- Ability to set a vote threshold. Players won't receive a reward till they have met the threshold. This is useful when you have your server posted on multiple server lists and you want players to vote on them all before they get rewarded.
- Special rewards called "Milestones" that are awarded to players when they have reached a set amount of votes. This gives players a goal and even more incentive to vote.
- Ability to make Milestones recurring. Make a Milestone set to every 50 votes or a single epic Milestone at 300 votes!
- Offline voting support! If a player votes for the server but isn't in game to receive rewards, the rewards will be there waiting for them to claim the next time they log on.
- Option to have awards auto-claimed when a player logs in!
- Inventory Protection. If a reward won't fit in a players inventory, VoteRoulette will notify the player and let them reclaim once they have cleared space.
- You can disable Inventory Protection, too. Items will instead fall at the feet of the player if their inventory is full.
- Visual Representations of Rewards/Milestones!
- Players can easily see the contents of Rewards/Milestones in a mock inventory screen.
- Editable Broadcast Messages! (Supports color codes)
- Set a custom message for a specific Reward/Milestone that will override the default message.
- A /vote command. Lists all your voting sites to the player.
- Ability to make Fancy Links™ which allow you to hide those long ugly links behind clickable text.
- Reminders!
- A periodic reminder for all players to vote!
- An automatic reminder after 24 hours have passed since a player's last vote!
- Extensive Multi-World support!
- Set specific worlds per Reward/Milestone.
- Globally blacklist worlds!
- Stats Tracking!
- See the top all time voters using the Scoreboard.
- MySQL support!
- UUID support!
- VoteRoulette uses Mojang's account system API (https://api.mojang.com/profiles/minecraft) in order to ask for the UUID of a given player name. You can turn off this functionality in the config by setting useUUIDs to false. (as of v2.2.2).
- A player blacklist. Prevent certain players from getting rewards.
- Option to switch blacklist to a whilelist. Only players in list can receive rewards!
- Option to switch blacklist to a whilelist. Only players in list can receive rewards!
- Option to turn randomization off! Just want to have a single reward and skip the randomization processes? No problem! VoteRoulette can be as simple or complex as you want it to be.
- Localization Options! Files are available to edit a lot of text in VoteRoulette!
- Check out and share translations in the forum!
- Automatic update checking! Always be notified of the latest version! You can disable this in the config by setting checkForUpdates to false.
- Update Safe! VoteRoulette doesn't use any native Minecraft code and therefore won't break with future versions of Bukkit. (Given there isn't major API changes)
- Metrics tracking! Help us see how VoteRoulette is used. (as of 2.0.1)
- Using Hidendra's plugin metrics system, the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org: A unique identifier, the server's version of Java, whether the server is in offline or online mode, VoteRoulette's version, server's version, OS version/name and architecture, core count for the CPU, number of players online, Metrics version
- If you do no want these stats collected, you can turn them off at /plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml by setting opt-out to true.
Requirements
You must have Votifier installed.
If you want to have rewards that give currency or rewards that only apply to certain permission groups, you must also have Vault installed.
Getting Started
- Make sure Votifier is at least on your server. If you plan to use the currency and permission group options, make sure Vault is installed as well. Are you using BungeeCord? Check out this post!
- Place VoteRoulette in your server's plugins folder. Do NOT place it in Votifier's "listeners" folder.
- Start your server to let VoteRoulette generate the default files. A copy of the config can also be found here.
- Edit settings and add awards. Visit the Config Guide for help or the Award Setups forum for ideas.
- Type "/vr reload" in your console to put the changes into effect!
Still stuck? Ask for help on the VoteRoulette forum!
Planned Additions
- Timed Milestones; Weekly, monthly, daily
- Set a votestreak with a range of days
- Custom fireworks support for item prizes
- Out-of-game Award Creator GUI?

Plugins like this i tend to have a problem with the user files for example: DarkFoxDie.yml darkfoxdie.yml It makes 2 seemingly identical files only 1 is case sensitive and the other is not. not to mention completely different stuff in the file. Does anyone know how to deal with this when it comes to downloading it off your remote server. It can be a real pain because it wants to overwrite the other file. If you rename them you seem to have to rename them individually. another option that sucks is going down the list of over 1000+ users and selecting the ones that are case sensitive and putting them in a different folder. If anyone could give some sort of simple solution that would be great.

I use it on 1.9.2, AFAIK it just runs a simple give command.
@Mianite_Realm
It's already got Web Integration with the Use of MySql, Just Make a simple PhP.
It looks like none of the devs have logged in for months.... does anyone know if the plugin is 1.9 compatible?
Great plugin, just one question. Is there a way to make multiple rewards be given to players when they vote? By default I can only select one and that is pretty sad, as for I don't only want to give players Money for a reward, but also a Crate Key. However I would like the Money to be given in all worlds, and the Key in only one. and as far as I know there is no way to separate prizes in one reward for different worlds. At least that feature or the one where I could add multiple rewards as default would be nice. Otherwise I would have to use MileStones for that, so each time they do 1 vote it would give them the Key xD This is one of the best plugins out there, especially the only best for MultiWorld support.
@Mianite_Realm
That would be amazing xD
Now we just need web integrate to put top voters on sites ^^
yup, donated $50 last year, would do again.
Hoping for some development work on this, it is one we would more than happily buy as a premium plugin on spigot, if that would be a development incentive.
I'm sure many others would too! :)

Your issue is in the error message
11.03 17:39:58 [Server] INFO in 'string', line 168, column 1: 11.03 17:39:58 [Server] INFO daf9f969-c851-4 11.03 17:39:58 [Server] INFO ^
I think it is complaining around your user cache? the name should have a : following it, as it states. That is very very odd. Has it been edited?
INFO could not find expected ':'
When my server starts I'm frequently recieving this kind of errors:

Hello, I recently started using this plugin with no problems, everything works as it should, but.. I tried using PlaceholderAPI with it and it doesn't really works, is a compatibility problem?
Sorry, it didn't enable the plugin, probably did something wrong, working now on 1.9. Yay!
didn't break for me? Lateset spigot as of this post, works flawlessly. And use give commands instead of the built in system. They can always be transferred.
@frizzbee30
Agree, I just converted everything from GAL.
Works fine for me on 1.9 :p
@Sikatsuu
Have you tried running it through the spigot converter at all? It's one we need as we have a massive range of rewards, milestones etc set up in it. perhaps somebody will fork it?
not run with votifier as it runs in test and has a port conflict, but it certainly seemed to load with no errors in test?
Plugin breaks on 1.9.
No login since December, bit worrying for such a great dev! Hope the plugins don't get abandoned. :(
