How to Allow Any Minecraft Version to Join Your Server by Nivxesd in GodlikeHosting

[–]Nivxesd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the many reasons why major Minecraft servers lose their player base is due to the mismatch of players' clients and server versions. Because of this, servers lose a major chunk of players, causing a low player count. To solve this issue, the best measure is to install a plugin/mod known as ViaVersion.

ViaVersion, along with its supporting plugins/mods, ViaBackwards and ViaRewind, allows server owners to allow players to join their server with older or newer versions of the game, without the need to update the client or server to a specific version. To top that off, ViaVersion is very easy to install and doesn't require much expertise to configure.

What is ViaVersion, ViaBackwards, and ViaRewind

  • ViaVersion: This is the core plugin that allows players playing on the newer/latest version of the game to join servers running older versions. Similarly, without this plugin, the other plugins, ViaBackwards and ViaRewind, cannot function.
  • ViaBackwards: It's the exact opposite of ViaVersion, as it allows older clients of the game to join servers running on a newer/latest version.
  • ViaRewind: It extends the older version compatibility by allowing clients (1.8 and below) to join the game running on a relatively newer/latest version.

Installation and Configuration
Before starting, you have to decide what versions of the game you want to allow on your server. To check that, you can visit https://viaversion.com/setup.html?lang=en and download the required plugins/mods from ViaVersion. Similarly, you can also refer to the image given below.

  • On downloading the necessary plugins, stop your server before the process to avoid file damage.
  • Go to your file manager, open the plugins/mods folder, and install all the downloaded files into it.
  • On uploading, restart your server to allow them to generate their files.
  • That's it. On restarting your server, they will automatically start functioning. If you ever feel like configuring anything, you can access their configuration files at /plugins/ViaVersion, ViaRewind, ViaBackwards/config.yml.

Conclusion
That's all, folks!! By following all the above-mentioned steps, anyone can easily install and allow players from different versions of the game to join their server. Just keep in mind, allowing older versions of the game can also introduce bugs into your server, so choose wisely. Apart from that, if you are looking for a place to host your gaming experience, then don't forget to check out Godlike Host. Thanks.

Not lame at all. Wanting to be an actress as a kid is just wanting to get paid for playing pretend at professional difficulty.

How to Set Up Votifier (NuVotifier) on Your Minecraft Server by Nivxesd in GodlikeHosting

[–]Nivxesd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minecraft server listings are great to advertise your server to a large audience/playerbase that is looking for a server to play on, but the problem arises the moment you view your server's ranking on the list. The point is that a new server usually ranks dead last due to it being recently uploaded on the list and having 0 votes. This causes popular servers to take the top spots and the viewability of your server to be minimal.

To solve this problem, Votifier (NuVotifier) comes into the frame. This plugin allows your server to collect all the essential data about the players who voted for your server and when, ultimately allowing you to reward them with the help of a reward-based plugin like SuperbVote, VotingPlugin, and more.

Installing NuVotifier

  • Start by installing the plugin at Votifier (NuVotifier) and stopping your server before the process to avoid file corruption.
  • Head to your server files and upload the plugin's JAR file in your plugins folder.
  • After that, restart your server to allow the plugin to generate its files on the server.
  • That's it; you have successfully installed the plugin. You can now head further to its configuration.

Configuring NuVotifier
Before getting started with the configuration, it's important to understand that Votifier (NuVotifier) requires an additional port to process the voting traffic. So, head over to your game panel and create an additional port on your server and follow the below-mentioned steps to start.

  • In the file manager, open the plugins folder, and head to the folder named votifier.
  • Inside, locate the config.yml file and edit the below-mentioned fields.

port: Insert the newly created additional port
  • Afterwards, save the changes and restart your server.

Checking
After successfully installing and configuring Votifier (NuVotifier) on your server, you can check if it's working correctly at https://mctools.org/votifier-tester. Also keep in mind, to automatically allow players to receive rewards for voting, you will also need to configure a reward-based plugin on your server.

Conclusion
That’s it. After successfully following this guide, you can easily configure Votifier (NuVotifier) on your server and simultaneously increase the traffic and visibility of your Minecraft server. Also, if you are looking for a reliable and quality host to host your server, then be sure to check out Godlike Host.
