| BungeeSettings.yml | Important for proxy-related configuration and communication. |

Rewards Folder
Path: /plugins/VotingPlugin/Rewards/
| File / Folder | Description |
|---|---|
| DirectlyDefined/ | Auto-generated rewards for SpecialRewards or VoteSites when inline rewards are used. Do not edit manually — files are overwritten automatically. |
| ExampleAdvanced.yml | Example of advanced reward logic (conditions, randomization, etc.). View on GitHub → |
| ExampleBasic.yml | Simple example of per-vote rewards. View on GitHub → |
💡 Any reward configuration shown in the examples can be placed under Rewards anywhere in the plugin configuration — they function identically. {.is-info}
Proxy Server Files
Path: /plugins/VotingPlugin/ (on BungeeCord or Velocity)
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| bungeeconfig.yml | Main proxy-side configuration file. Controls how votes are received and forwarded to backend servers. |
| nonvotedplayerscache.json | Lists players who logged in recently (up to 5 days) but haven’t voted. Used when AllowUnJoined: false. |
| secretkey.key | Encryption key for SOCKET proxy mode. Must match between proxy and Spigot servers if using that mode. |
| votecache.json | Temporary cache for PLUGINMESSAGING method to ensure votes are forwarded reliably. |
🧠 Tip:
Proxy and Spigot servers can share MySQL databases for full synchronization.
Keep configuration paths and server names consistent across all instances for best results. {.is-info}
