How to Set Up Votifier for Your Hytale Server (2026 Guide)

Want to reward your players when they vote for your server? Votifier makes it possible! This guide will walk you through setting up Votifier on your Hytale server so you can automatically give rewards when players vote on HytaleServers.club.

What is Votifier?

Votifier is an open-source plugin that allows your Hytale server to receive vote notifications from server listing sites like HytaleServers.club. When a player votes for your server, we send a secure notification to your Votifier plugin, which can then reward the player with items, currency, or other perks.

Benefits of Using Votifier

• Incentivize Voting - Players are more likely to vote when they get rewards
• Boost Rankings - More votes = higher position in server lists
• Engage Your Community - Daily voting rewards keep players coming back
• Automated Rewards - No manual work required once set up

Requirements

• A Hytale server with mod support
• Java 25 or newer
• Access to your server's firewall/port settings
• Your server listed on HytaleServers.club

Step 1: Download Votifier

Download the latest Votifier plugin for Hytale from the official source. The plugin comes as a JAR file that you'll add to your server.

Step 2: Install the Plugin

1. Stop your Hytale server
2. Place the Votifier JAR file in your server's mods/ folder
3. Start your server
4. The plugin will generate a default configuration file

Step 3: Configure Votifier

Open the generated config.json file in the Votifier folder. Here are the important settings:

{
  "BindHost": "0.0.0.0",
  "BindPort": 8192,
  "RewardCommands": [
    "give %player% diamond 1"
  ],
  "RewardMessages": [
    "Thanks for voting, %player%! You received a diamond!"
  ],
  "Tokens": {
    "HytaleServers.club": "your-secret-token-here"
  }
}

Configuration Options Explained

• BindHost - Usually "0.0.0.0" to accept connections from any IP
• BindPort - The port Votifier listens on (default: 8192)
• RewardCommands - Commands to run when a vote is received
• RewardMessages - Messages sent to the player
• Tokens - Secret tokens for each voting site

Step 4: Open the Votifier Port

Make sure port 8192 (or your custom port) is open in your firewall and forwarded to your server. This is separate from your game server port.

Common Hosting Providers

• Self-hosted - Open the port in your firewall (ufw, iptables, or Windows Firewall)
• Game hosting panels - Add an additional port allocation for Votifier
• Cloud providers - Update your security group/firewall rules

Step 5: Connect to HytaleServers.club

Now configure your server on HytaleServers.club to send votes to your Votifier:

1. Go to your Server Dashboard
2. Click "Edit" on your server
3. Scroll to the "Votifier Integration" section
4. Enter your Votifier Host (your server IP or domain)
5. Enter your Votifier Port (default: 8192)
6. Enter your Votifier Token (from config.json)
7. Save your changes

Step 6: Test Your Setup

Use the /testvote <player> command on your server to simulate a vote and verify rewards are working correctly.

Reward Ideas

Here are some popular reward options for voters:

• Currency - Give in-game money for economy servers
• Items - Diamonds, rare materials, or custom items
• Vote Keys - Keys for special vote crates
• Temporary Perks - Fly time, bonus XP, or special effects
• Vote Streaks - Bonus rewards for voting multiple days in a row

Troubleshooting

Votes Not Being Received

• Verify your port is open and accessible from the internet
• Check that the Votifier host and port in your dashboard match your server
• Ensure your token matches exactly (case-sensitive)
• Check server logs for any error messages

Players Not Getting Rewards

• Make sure the player is online when voting (or use a plugin that queues rewards)
• Verify your reward commands are correct
• Test with /testvote <player>
