Server Vote
by hennyhex
Server Vote lets online players start votes on server actions, such as changing the weather or giving items to everyone on the server.
What it does
A player starts a vote from chat with a command, and other players cast their votes for or against it. When the majority agrees, the server runs the command the vote was built around, such as a say message or a give command for every player. Actions are defined in a JSON config file, and each entry sets the base command, a description shown in chat and the votes required to pass.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Forge and NeoForge files exist for Minecraft 1.16.5, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.3 as the latest release for both 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge, published on 2025-04-05. Server owners who want custom votes can add their own entries to the config, written in the same structure as the defaults. The config must be formatted correctly, because an invalid file keeps the vote list from loading.
Server Vote is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Server owners who want to tune the vote list edit the same JSON file, and the server reads it when it starts.
