Minecraft Votifier tester
Send one real test vote to your own server and see whether Votifier or NuVotifier accepted it. If it fails, you get the exact stage that broke: connection, handshake or the key check. Free, no account.
The token or key is used once for this request and is not stored or logged.
What this tool does
It opens a connection to your Votifier port, reads the greeting your plugin sends, then delivers one vote exactly the way a server list does. NuVotifier replies with a status line, so a v2 test is a definite pass or fail. Classic Votifier says nothing back, so a v1 pass means the port and key were accepted and the vote was written; the confirmation is the line in your server console.
Reading the result
- Connect failed: the port is closed. Open it in your firewall, forward it with your host,
and check
plugins/Votifier/config.ymlfor the port and thehostit binds to. - Handshake failed: something answered, but not Votifier. Nine times out of ten the Minecraft port was entered instead of the Votifier port.
- Response rejected: the server got the vote and refused it. Wrong token or wrong key.
Copy the token straight out of
config.yml, and for v1 paste the whole public key file. - Sent, but no reward: Votifier fires an event, it does not give rewards itself. Make
sure a listener plugin is installed and configured for the service name
BestCobblemonServersor for all services.
Before you list a server
Every server list that pays out rewards, this one included, dispatches votes over exactly this protocol. Run a test here first and the vote page for your listing will work on day one. If you run a Cobblemon server and it is not listed yet, submit it; the free status checker confirms the game port the same way.
Frequently asked questions
What is Votifier?
Votifier is a Minecraft server plugin that listens on its own port, usually 8192, for vote notifications from server lists. When a list sends a vote, the plugin fires an event that reward plugins use to hand out keys, money or items.
What is the difference between Votifier and NuVotifier?
Classic Votifier (protocol v1) encrypts each vote with the RSA public key printed in plugins/Votifier/rsa/public.key. NuVotifier (protocol v2) signs votes with a shared secret token from its config.yml instead. NuVotifier accepts both, so most servers today can be tested either way.
Which port do I enter?
The Votifier port, not the Minecraft port. It is the port value in plugins/Votifier/config.yml, 8192 by default, and it must be open on your firewall and forwarded by your host. Entering 25565 here will fail at the handshake stage.
The test says it was sent but nothing happened in game.
For classic Votifier that is expected: the protocol has no acknowledgement, so a clean send only proves the port and key are right. Check the server console for a vote from BestCobblemonServers and make sure a reward plugin is actually listening for the VotifierEvent.
Does a test vote count on the ranking here?
No. The test goes from our server straight to yours and nothing is recorded on this site. Real votes for listed servers are cast on their vote page and dispatched the same way, which is why this tool is the fastest way to confirm those will arrive.
