# How to Set Up NuVotifier for Voting Rewards on Your Minecraft Server (/docs/minecraft/setup-votifier)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

NuVotifier lets your Minecraft server receive votes from server list websites and reward players automatically. Server list voting drives traffic to your server.

How Voting Works [#how-voting-works]

1. Player votes for your server on a server list website
2. The site sends a vote notification to your server's Votifier port
3. NuVotifier receives the vote and triggers a vote listener plugin
4. The listener gives the player their reward in-game

NuVotifier itself only receives votes — you also need a **vote listener** plugin to actually deliver rewards.

Install NuVotifier [#install-nuvotifier]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Download NuVotifier [#download-nuvotifier]

    Download from [SpigotMC](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/nuvotifier.13449/) or [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Upload to plugins/ [#upload-to-plugins]

    In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files** in the sidebar and upload the JAR to `plugins/`.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Restart the server [#restart-the-server]

    Restart from **Console**. NuVotifier generates its config and an RSA key pair on first run.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Add the Votifier port [#add-the-votifier-port]

    Click **Network** in the panel sidebar. Add the Votifier port (default `8192`) as an additional allocation.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Get your public key [#get-your-public-key]

    In **Files**, navigate to `plugins/Votifier/rsa/` and open `public.key`. Copy the contents — you'll paste this on each server list website when registering your server.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Install a vote listener plugin [#install-a-vote-listener-plugin]

    NuVotifier receives votes but doesn't give rewards by itself. Install a listener plugin such as:

    * **VotingPlugin** — most features
    * **SuperbVote** — simple setup

    Upload the listener JAR to `plugins/` and restart.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Register on server list sites [#register-on-server-list-sites]

    Add your server to voting sites like minecraft-server-list.com, minecraft-mp.com, etc. Enter your server IP, the Votifier port (`8192`), and your public key from step 5.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Reward Tips [#reward-tips]

Popular reward types include in-game currency, rare items, and crate keys. Keep rewards valuable enough to motivate voting but not so powerful that they unbalance gameplay.
