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?

1.9.3 is out which adds support for setting rewards per website!
Installed this on my server, will report back.
-It seems to work with the milestones, but the rewards aren't being given...
Regular Reward: items: 278: amount: 1 enchants: efficiency(5), fortune(5) name: Voter pickaxe lore: A pickaxe, for our voters! 276: amount: 1 enchants: sharpness(5), looting(3) name: Voter sword lore: A sword, for our voters! currency: 5000000 xpLevels: 5 message: "&fThank you for voting! Here is the &7REGULAR&f reward!" chance: 100%
Yes, randomizing is TRUE
@guruserver
It should!
Will this still work with enjin plugin?
@kjburr
This is something I might add in the future, as I am all for customizability. I'll add it to the to-do.
Love this plugin. Is there any chance you can set the rewards per website? Say you want a specified reward for one website and not another?
@Cluter123
The update with the requested features has been uploaded and is awaiting approval. Thanks for your feedback!
@TheChiz
Sure. I'll include it in the next update. :)
@ebiggz
I was wondering, would it also be possible to have a OP manual override like /votebroadcast that would send out the automatic reminder voting message. Just in case we want to share the reminder a little more frequent with people manually at times :)
@Cluter123
VoteRoulette was not written to work like this. However you could probably get close to replicating that behavior by setting up a milestone that recurs every 1 vote and then set some rewards with low chance, making sure to set "onlyRewardMilestoneUponCompletion" to false in the config. I'll be submitting an update soon that will let you set rarer chances in a reward. Currently the lowest you can go right now is 1%, or 1/100.
@ebiggz
No like i want the player to get like 2000 for donator rank but i also want to add like a 1/20 chance to get 5000 extra or like a 1/200 chance for a player to get a donator rank.
@Cluter123
There is none. You are specifying which permission groups you want that reward to be considered for.
The ability to set chances for a reward has already been implemented as of v1.9 :)
@ebiggz
wait so then what would the permission be?
And when will lucky rewards be added? :P
@Cluter123
Here's a snippet taken from the example reward in the config file that shows how:
How do i give permissions for different votes as quoted here:
Ability to set a reward to be only available to certain permission groups. For example, donators could get better rewards! (Vault required)
@Gaurav1234
What I think I'll do is include a "player: " node for rewards and milestones. This way the feature would also be available to the folks that don't have Vault.
@ebiggz
Awesome, thanks
@Gaurav1234
The reason I haven't included that functionality at the moment is because permission plugins only register the permissions for players when they log in/are online. So this would mess up offline player support. However, since I am using Vault, I may be able to circumvent that. I'll look into it :)
@matagin
I'm not sure whats going on there. I'm continuing to see where I can streamline VR in these areas and see if it makes sense to thread anything. Thanks for the data on that!
Hey, I was wondering, is it possible to have it reward people based on their permissions rather than their permissions group? For example, if you didn't want to create whole new groups and only wanted to give certain people within a permission group access to a certain reward (without giving access to the whole group), how would that be possible?
Thanks, Gaurav
