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?

Works perfect with 1.8 and UUID's, in fact one of the very few that does!
@Sasunka
Then it sounds like Votifier isn't linked to your websites properly. Visit Votifier's troubleshooting page for more help
@DarkFoxDie
The plugin works with 1.8 just fine. :) As for your chance questions, take a look at the section about Chance settings in the Config Guide. Decimal chances are not supported. Instead write them in fraction form, as you did in your comment, ie "1/1000".
it seems the plugin doesnt take in to consideration my chances because me and someone else recieved the jackpot with a 1/1000 chance very easily

i dont think the plugin works at all with 1.8 because i dont seem to be getting the rewards
@ebiggz
I did that too...
@Krauti2
It was, sorry about that. It should be good now.
@Sasunka
Sounds like Votifier isn't receiving the vote from your websites. I would turn on debug mode for Votifier as well.
I have a little problem, that when somebody votes, nothing happens. No reward, no console output(even when debug is on) and no message... What can i do to fix this?
Is the source code outdated?
@frizzbee30
I'm glad it's working well for you. Thank you for the feedback!
@ebiggz
Fantastic! it really is a great, and I think seriously under rated plugin!! We have had intermittent voting problems for around 1.5 years, then UUID killed voting for name change players, this fixed it and is 100% reliable! Players love it, and we do too!! Thank You :D
@Neoblade298
I lost the time to do anything with this project for a long time. While I am still in a similar situation, I am going to do my best to squeeze out bug fixes as needed but can't make promises on new features. I would love to to start adding features again at some point, though, it's not that I don't want to. :)
@GodsDead
This has been fixed in a new build that is
awaiting approvalnow live. That was fast!@BrvtvsC
I tried and it didn't work, it does however pull in the UUID of the voter if you enable debug. This really is an amazing plugin once you get the reward syntax correct, has boosted our voting already! :D
just installed and appears to work great, so flexible too. Only addition, command in rewards is case sensitive, and using / before the command appears to upset it too.
This looks a great alternative to ours, but no updates and quite a few stated errors?
Just wondering, is this plugin still active and being updated? No pressure on you to have an update, as it still works great on 1.8, I was just wondering.
Is there currently a way to use UUIDs in award commands?
Is there any chance for a Spigot CraftBukkit 1.8 update, the plugin keeps forgetting stats and userdata.. Really bad for my milestones!
2 weeks in and waiting for a response to my help question:
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/voteroulette/forum/help/73771-not-receiving-rewards-for-votes/
Please respond...
It picks and chooses if commands work, for instance if I do a spawnmob command on a player it may work, or it wont most of the time and throw this: CONSOLE issued server command: /spawnmob zombie 10 PlayerName [22:48:34] [Thread-144/INFO]: Error: Asynchronous entity add!
@DarknessxFazer
Still works perfectly fine for me.
Anyone want to update the plugin I'm guessing the author of the plugin is inactive for a long time now
