How to Reward Players for Voting for Your Minecraft Server

Rewarding players for voting for your Minecraft Server on different voting sites is a great way to boost your server's ranking and increase its visibility on the internet. The simple way to do it is by tracking player votes through a plugin called Votifier (NuVotifier) and rewarding them for it. To install it on your server, you can follow our simple tutorial on it at https://www.mcserverhost.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-votifier-nuvotifier-on-your-minecraft-server, but the problem with Votifier (NuVotifier) is that it doesn't have a listener functionality, meaning it doesn't process or respond to the votes and is only responsible for receiving and forwarding them.

To solve this issue, we have to install a separate plugin, which will be responsible for processing and receiving votes from Votifier (NuVotifier) and rewarding the players for voting for the server. Some of the popular choices includes — VotingPlugin, SuperbVote, and many others. In this case, we are going to install and configure SuperbVote.
