Votifier Tester
Send a real test vote to your Votifier / NuVotifier plugin and confirm your vote-rewards setup works.
How to use the Votifier tester
- Enter a player username, your server IP/hostname, and the Votifier port (default
8192). - Pick v1 and paste your
public.key, or v2 and paste your token. - Click Send test vote — a success means a real vote site would work too.
Troubleshooting common errors
- Connection refused / timeout — the Votifier port isn't open or the plugin isn't running. Confirm the port is forwarded/open and NuVotifier loaded without errors (use
/nvreload, not/reload). - Connection reset — a firewall or the host is dropping the connection mid-handshake.
- Decryption failed (v1) — the public key doesn't match the server's; re-copy the full
public.key, or switch to a v2 token. - Test passes but players get no reward — Votifier only receives the vote; install a listener plugin (VotingPlugin or GAListener) and configure your reward.
FAQ
What is Votifier / NuVotifier?
Votifier (and its modern fork NuVotifier) is a Minecraft plugin that listens on a port and receives "vote" notifications from server-list sites so you can reward players for voting. This tool sends a real test vote so you can confirm your setup works before going live.
What’s the difference between v1 and v2?
v1 (classic Votifier) encrypts the vote with your server’s RSA public key. v2 (NuVotifier) uses a shared token instead. Use the tab that matches what your list site / plugin expects — most modern setups use v2 tokens.
Where do I find my public key or token?
v1 public key: plugins/Votifier/rsa/public.key (or NuVotifier’s equivalent). v2 token: in plugins/(Nu)Votifier/config.yml under tokens. The port is also in config.yml (default 8192).
My test vote fails — why?
Most often the Votifier port isn’t open/forwarded to the internet, the plugin isn’t running, or the key/token is wrong. Confirm the port is reachable, the plugin loaded without errors, and you copied the full key/token.
Does this send a real vote?
Yes — it performs the exact Votifier handshake a vote site would, so a successful test means real votes will work too. It uses a placeholder voter address and this tool’s URL as the service name.
What’s the difference between Votifier and NuVotifier?
NuVotifier is the maintained, more robust fork of the original Votifier. It adds the v2 token protocol and vote forwarding (for BungeeCord/Velocity networks). Most servers should run NuVotifier.
The test passes but votes still aren’t rewarded — why?
A passing test means votes reach your server. To reward players you also need a listener plugin (e.g. VotingPlugin or GAListener) configured with your vote sites — Votifier only receives the vote.
Why does Votifier fail on shared hosting?
Many budget/shared hosts block the Votifier port. If the test returns “connection refused” or times out, the port likely isn’t open — ask your host to open it, or use a host that opens it by default.
