Minecraft plugin Votifier

🔌 About Votifier

Votifier — is a Minecraft plugin that receives secure vote notifications from server toplists and exposes a simple VoteListener API so other plugins can act on votes.

🎯 Purpose

Votifier solves the problem of reliably receiving vote events from external vote sites. Votifier accepts encrypted vote packets from supported top‑lists and delivers a parsed Vote object to registered listeners. Votifier is intended for server administrators who want a secure, minimal listener on their Minecraft server that other plugins (reward systems, announcements, leaderboards) can use.

⚙ Main features

• Listens for vote notifications from external server lists (vote top‑lists).
• Uses RSA encryption (2048‑bit) for vote packet verification.
• Generates RSA key pair and stores keys in ./plugins/votifier/rsa (public.key shared with site).
• Auto‑generates a config file (./plugins/votifier/config.yml) on first run.
• Provides a VoteListener interface/API for other plugins to implement and receive Vote objects.

🧩 Who it's for

• Server owners who want a secure vote listener.
• Plugin developers who need a standard VoteListener to hook vote events.
• Admins running Spigot/Paper‑compatible servers looking for a light vote receiver.

🏗 Examples of use

• A reward/listener plugin registers a VoteListener provided by Votifier and runs commands when a player votes.
• A custom plugin logs votes or updates an external leaderboard using the VoteListener API.
• Server operators publish the plugin's public.key to voting sites so votes are accepted and verified.

⌨️ Commands

The plugin does not add new commands.

🔐 Permissions

Votifier does not define plugin permissions. It functions as a low‑level listener/API provider.

⚙ Installation

📥 Installation

• Download Votifier.jar from the official source (GitHub / project page).
• Place the .jar in your server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the Minecraft server (do not use /reload).
• On first run Votifier will create its folder and generate rsa keys and config.yml.

📦 Dependencies

• No runtime dependencies required (Votifier is self‑contained).
• Votifier is designed to run on Bukkit/Spigot/Paper‑compatible server implementations.

🧾 Configuration

• Votifier generates ./plugins/votifier/config.yml automatically on first startup.
• You must provide the generated public key (./plugins/votifier/rsa/public.key) to vote sites.
• Configuration controls which port/address Votifier listens on and debug/logging options (see config.yml).
• Votifier does not use MySQL/SQLite by itself (no DB configuration required).

🧠 Additional information

⚠ Known conflicts & security notes

• Never share the private RSA key; exposing it allows spoofed votes.
• Votifier is only a listener — reward execution must be handled by a listener plugin that hooks into Votifier.
• In multi‑server architectures, forwarding or cross‑server reward distribution depends on the listener plugin, not Votifier itself.

🚧 Limitations

• Votifier does not implement reward logic or leaderboard features — it only notifies listeners about votes.
• Does not declare plugin permissions or in‑game commands.

❓ FAQ

Q: Does Votifier give rewards by itself?
A: No. Votifier provides the vote event; a separate listener plugin executes rewards or announcements.

Q: Where are the RSA keys stored?
A: Keys are created in ./plugins/votifier/rsa — share public.key with vote sites and keep the private key secret.

Q: Does Votifier require a database?
A: No — Votifier itself does not use MySQL/SQLite.

Q: Is Votifier compatible with Paper or Spigot?
A: Votifier is implemented for Bukkit API and is used on Spigot/Paper‑compatible servers.
