Voting Time
by jacobxny
Voting Time lets server operators host polls that players answer in chat, using two commands to create each poll and broadcast it to the server.
What it does
The mod adds a voting system to a Fabric server. Server operators and admins create a poll with two commands, and the poll is broadcast to the chat so players can respond. The mod was written because no existing mod on the catalog covered this case, and it is the first server-side mod by its author.
Voting Time is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs it. It requires Fabric API and fabric-permissions-api, which must be installed alongside it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.0+1.21.5 for 1.21.10 as the latest file, published on 2025-11-15.
Key features
Poll creation
Two commands let an admin create a poll and send it to every player on the server.
Chat-based answers
Players reply to the broadcast poll in chat, so no screen or client install is needed to vote.
Permission checks
Access to poll commands is handled through fabric-permissions-api, so operators can limit who may start a vote.

Use cases
Community decisions
A server owner can ask players to choose between map events, rules changes or build projects.
Quick server surveys
An operator can run a short poll during play to gauge interest without leaving the game.
Who it’s for: Server operators and admins who want a simple in-game voting tool for their players. Players only need a normal client to answer.
How it compares
PvP Vote is also server-side only and MIT licensed, but targets Fabric for 1.21.11. Ballotbox runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.1 with a client and server environment, and is open source. Sleep Vote is server-side only for 1.21 – 26.3 but under All rights reserved, not MIT.

What the author says
Voting Time adds a way for admins or server operators to host polls for players to answer. As with all my mods, I research on Modrinth to see if an idea has been done before, and I couldn't seem to find a poll system, at least a one in chat where the poll is broadcasted, so I decided to make it myself. This is also…
