Configuration


  1. Find your configuration file by going to the plugins folder.
  2. Then select the BetterVoting file and open config.yml.


API Key


  • At the top of the file, you will find a line that says api-key: "".
  • This is what BetterVoting uses to connect to the vote website and claim players' vote rewards.
  • Change this to display your voting API key.
  • To find this, login to minecraftpocket-servers and go to manage your servers.
  • Then finally, paste it into the config file!



Messages


Broadcast


  • Next in the config, you will see a claim option.
  • This is where you can set messages to be sent.
  • There you will see the broadcast: "" option.
  • In here you can enter the message to be sent to the whole server when somebody votes.
  • Type out your message (you can use colour codes), using some of the variables below!


Variable

{real-name}

The voter's full username

{display-name}

Direct Message


  • Then do the same thing with the message: "" option.
  • This will be the private message sent to the user who voted.
  • You can use variables and colour codes!



Items


You can give voters special items for voting. There are some examples already such as a diamond sword and pickaxe. Change these using the following format to give the player different items!


Item format: "ItemName:Damage:ICount:CustomName:EnchantName:EnchantLevel"


Remember to use item names not item IDs and replace all spaces with _ for everything to work smoothly!


Executed Commands


You can also opt for commands to be executed by the console when a player votes...


In the commands: section, follow the examples and enter any commands you want to be ran.


Do not include / at the start of the command.


Top Votes


Finally, players can run the /vote top command to see who the top voters are.


  • title: "" is the message sent to the players before displaying the votes.
  • display: is the number of top players to show.
  • format: "" is the way the system shows information about top voters.



Commands


In game, players can run a couple of commands...


  • /vote info shows them some information about the server, such as the server's uptime, score, rank, votes, favourited and comments. This data is taken from the voting website.
  • /vote top shows any player who runs it a list of the players with the most votes... (This can be changed in the config).
  • /vote registers the players vote!
