Analytics

Plugin sends anonymous data such as version of this resource, your server version and addition data of configuration. These data will help me in future development. All requests are asynchronous, so it has no impact on server's performance.
If you don't want to share these data, you can easily disable it.

Options

Options file is divided to sections.

Command

Plugin manages 2 main commands Voting and VotingAdmin. Each command can have aliases.
Alias is a command, which invokes the same action as the main command.

Economy

By enabling economy, you can charge players for placing a vote or starting a voting round.
Plugin supports 3 Economy providers Vault, PlayerPoints and Experiences. If you want to use any one of it, at first, you need to enable it!
There is required that enabled providers are also installed on the server!
Experiences does not require any additional plugin! Player's current experiences are used here.
Types used in configuration file
  • VAULT_WRAPPER
  • PLAYER_POINTS
  • EXPERIENCE

Round

In this section you can configure core of the plugin. Duration of the round, minimum count of players required to start the round. And much more.
Pause
There are 2 types of pauses, which prevents to start next round immediately after one round has ended.
Explanation of types
  • Global - No one will be able to start a round until pause ends.
  • Personal - In short, you can configure, that player will be able to start round only once in a 15 minutes.
Personal pause is not applied when player wants to place a vote!
Animation
At changing time in a world you can use smoothy animation. Sun or Moon is moving across the sky so it looks like it has speed up the time.
You can specify speed of the animation. Available range is <50;750>
Speed 100 means that time change from 0 to 23999 takes 12 seconds.
TimeChangeAnimation:
Speed: 100
Copy
This feature is only available for Weather units.

Visual

Section represents components displayed at chats, boss bars and action bars.
Chat
At displaying message to players, prefix and message are joined by specified char, default by space. But if you want to remove this space or add annother char, you can specify it in configuration file.
Chat:
MessageJoiningChar: " "
Copy
BossBar
Via BossBar players are able to see current information about running round.
Available color values
PINK, BLUE, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, PURPLE, WHITE
Available style values
SOLID, SEGMENTED_6, SEGMENTED_10, SEGMENTED_12, SEGMENTED_20
ActionBar
Via ActionBar players are able to see current result of running round. Result is shown in percentual ratio and you can define colors of its possitive, resp. negative part. Also you can define char and count of these chars shown in ratio.
Intervals
These information can be displayed in specified intervals and these itervals are mainly associtated with BossBar and ActionBar.
Imagine interval in math, but reversed because of countdown which is decresing. If we want to display BossBar since 30 seconds to 10 seconds, we use interval 30:11(FROM:TO+1). Plus 1 because of we want to hide BossBar in 10 seconds. (If we keep 10 seconds in the iterval, BossBar will be hidden in 9 seconds.)

Signs

You can create Voting signs around the world. By interacting with sign, players can place a vote or start a round assigned to that sign.

VotingUnit

Voting Unit, later only VU, is a core of the resource. You can also name it Voting Situation. Players place votes about these units.
Plugin offers 7 predefined VU and you can easily extend or reduce this set.

Creating VotingUnit in the configuration file

Configuration file VotingUnits.yml is located at main folder of the resource.
Types
  • GLOBAL - Only one round can run at one moment.
  • LOCAL - In each world, round can run independently on round in another world.
At Local type, there is able to run more than one voting round at the same time. E.g. Day for Survival world and Night for SkyBlock world.
Global and Local round cannot run at the same time!
Categories
  • WEATHER - Allows to change weather using built-in methods. Time change animation is available at this category.
  • CUSTOM - VotingUnit that fits right for your server.
Immediate initiator's vote
This flag indicates, that player, initiator, places vote immediately at starting a round.
Price
We mentioned above that you can chagre players for placing a vote or starting a voting round. Price for placing a vote can be different like for starting a voting round.
World Restriction
You can restrict in which world will not be able to start voting round.
Result Commands
After the end of the round, you can specify commands, which will be invoked.
Types of commands
  • Global - Commands are performed only once. Especially used at custom units.
  • Participant - Commands are performed for each player separately
    • Success - Commands performed when round success
      • All - Commands executed for all players. (At Local round, under 'All players' is meant players in that world.)
      • Voters - Commands executed only for players which placed a positive vote
    • Failure - Commands performed when round fails
      • All - Commands executed for all players. (At Local round, under 'All players' is meant players in that world.)
      • Voters - Commands executed only for players which placed a negative vote
Example of commands
Result:
Command:
Global:
- "kick {target}"
Participant:
Success:
All:
- "tell {player} Round has succeed."
Voters:
- "karma give {player} 5"
Failure:
All:
- "tell {player} Round has failed."
Voters:
- "karma take {player} 5"
Copy
These commands do not have to be used all. You can choose only that types, which fits your expectations. E.g., If you want to use only global commands, you do not have to use Participant section!
​
Next parts are divided in order to category.
Weather Category
At first, let's clarify basic information.
  • 1 Minecraft Day = 24000 Ticks = 20 Minutes
  • Tick 0 reprecents 06:00 and tick 13000 reprecents 19:00
  • More information about daylight cycle is avaialable here​
When round with weather category success, these values are applied:
Result:
Time: <Value> #Value indicates time in a day. Range <0;23999>
Rain: <Flag> #Flag indicates rainy weather
Lighting: <Flag> #Flag indicates stormy weather
Duration: <Value> #Value indicates how long takes result.
Copy
These 4 values can be used separately. E.g., In one VU you will use only Time value and in another VU, you will use Rain, Lighting and Duration value.
Example of Weather VU
DAY: #Key of the unit. Used in intern methods, localizations file.
Name: Day #Readable name of the unit. Used in tab-completer.
Type: GLOBAL
Category: WEATHER
ImmediateInitiatorVote:
Active: true
Price:
Start: 0
Vote: 0
Restriction:
World: [ ]
Result:
Time: 0 #Sets time to 6 o'clock
Copy
Do not forget to set Alias for the weather VU in localzation file. Path Alias.Unit.Weather.<VU-Key>
Custom Category
Via this category you can create own situations, which perfectly fits your server.
There is better to explain the whole mechanism with an example. We will create VU which kicks player from the server, if round success.
This category works with parameters typed in command located behind Name of the VU.
We need to define 2 parameters. First parameters represents whom to kick and second is a reason.
Our final command for start this round is /Voting Kick <Player> <Reason>
Types of parameters
  • PLAYER - Accepts only online player as a parameter.
  • WORLD - Accepts only name of world.
  • PAYLOAD - Accepts more than one word. Sentence.
Our first parameter is named player, or target for better meaning.
Each parameter has to have its name. This name is used as a replacement at localization file and at executed commands after the end of the round.
There can occur situation, you want to protect yourself as an initiator of the round or you want to protect some players before kicking out from the server at this situation. The whole list can be specified in Resistance section.
The same mechanism is at parameter of type World! Except initiator's protection.
Our second parameter is the reason, why we want to kick the player. Here is the best opportunnity to use type PAYLOAD. It allows us to read the whole sentence until the end of input line.
Type PAYLOAD has to be the last parameter of the sequence!
If you want to make this parameter optional, no problem, set flag Optionality to true.
Then, you need to define default value, which will be used instead of missing parameter.
Missing variable Optionality in the configuration file means that parameter is Required!
At the end we need to specify command, which will be executed after successful round.
Also, we need to map our values from parameters to command. It's simple, each parameter has name as mentoined above.
We create replacement. It starts with prefix p_. After that prefix we will write name of the parameter.
If we had name of the parameter player our final replacement is p_player. The same for the second parameter.
Our final command
kick {p_player} {p_reason}
Our created VU for kicking the player

Copy
Do not forget to create new records into localization file!
Sections in localization file
  • Success

I am full of expectation which VotingUnits you will create. We can create library of these units, and other owners can use it on their server
