GuidesGuidesGet your server onto voting lists and reward the players who vote — how Votifier receives votes on Falix (including the extra port it needs), plus Falix's own built-in Advertise page.
Server lists are how new players find you, and voting is how those lists rank servers: players vote for you daily, you climb the list, and you thank them with an in-game reward. Two pieces make that loop work — Votifier to receive votes, and a rewards plugin to hand out prizes. On top of that, Falix has its own Advertise page that lists your server without any of the plugin setup. This guide covers both paths honestly, including the one Falix-specific gotcha with Votifier.
| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| You need | A plugin-capable server (Purpur, PaperSpigot, Spigot family) for the Votifier path |
| Also | An extra port allocation (Network page) for Votifier, and accounts on the listing sites you join |
| Plan | Any — the Advertise page and Votifier both work on free |
The flow has four hops, and knowing them makes every setup guide make sense:
So Votifier is a listener — it doesn't give rewards itself. You pair it with a rewards plugin to actually do something with the vote. The maintained modern Votifier is NuVotifier; install it from the Plugins page.
This is the step people miss. Votifier listens for incoming vote packets on a network port — and every listener on a Falix server has to bind to a real, allocated port, not localhost. Your main Minecraft port is busy with the game, so Votifier needs an additional port.
/plugins/NuVotifier/config.yml), set its host to 0.0.0.0 and its port to that allocated number.⚠️ Heads up: Free plans have a small number of total port allocations (a handful), and every additional port and Bedrock listener counts against it. If you're out of ports, you'll need to free one up or move to a plan with more. Bind
0.0.0.0, neverlocalhost— a service bound to localhost is unreachable from outside the container.
Votifier also uses a public key so the listing site can prove a vote really came from it. NuVotifier generates a key pair on first start (under its plugin folder); listing sites ask you to paste the public key when you register. Keep the private key private — it stays on the server.
Pick a couple of the big Minecraft server-list sites and create a listing. Each one will ask for:
Once registered, the site's Vote button will send packets your Votifier receives. Test with the site's "test vote" feature if it has one, and watch your console for Votifier logging the vote.
Install a votes-rewards plugin (a dedicated voting/rewards plugin) and configure what a vote gives — money, items, a crate key, a thank-you broadcast. This is where you decide the incentive. Common touches: a small daily reward, a bonus for voting on every list, and a monthly milestone. The rewards plugin listens for the event Votifier fires, so Votifier must be working first.
💡 Tip: Set rewards that are nice but not essential. If voting is the only way to get something powerful, players who can't vote (or when a list is down) feel shut out. Keep it a thank-you, not a paywall.
Separately from all of the above, Falix has an Advertise page for Minecraft servers — publish your server to Falix's own public server list to attract players, with no plugin setup at all:
It's the zero-config way to get discovered — good to turn on regardless of whether you also run Votifier for the external lists. The two aren't exclusive: the Advertise page is Falix's own listing; Votifier is for third-party sites.
0.0.0.0 on that port, and the port must exist on the Network page./plugins and read its config.
