Voting rewards are back!
« on: 11 May 2020, 10:41:27 AM »
This will be effective as of 2100 UTC today (~6.5 hours from this post)

That's right, you will now get rewards again when you vote for VC on the websites listed below.

Taking on board suggestions from the Vote Crates and GUI Shop suggestions, I've created a new plugin which hopefully makes voting more exciting. When you vote for VC, you'll get a reward bag (which actually looks like a box), with a randomised reward. To redeem this reward, simply click with it, and you'll get up to 5 items, plus a little bit of money. If you want though, you can trade them for whatever you want in-game. There's 5 tiers of rewards, each with better and better loot, but the higher tiers are much rarer. You can craft 9 of any tier reward bag into 1 of the next tier, if you fancy your chances saving up for a big reward.

Additionally, for every 10 votes you cast, you'll get a bonus reward bag. This doesn't follow the same chance as the regular rewards, meaning all 5 tiers are equally likely to show up. This is a good way to get those big prizes.

I'm not going to say what's in the reward bags, but there's a very big pool, and there's some items in there which are hard to get. Building blocks, potions, enchantments, tools, armour, resources, there's loads of things you can get! I've also added in a feature where the highest tier has the chance of giving you tools, armour, or potions with enchantments/effects that you can't get in survival, so you might be lucky and get some cool loot from that.

If you've got a few reward bags and you don't want to open them all at once, you can click on any container with it, and it'll deposit the rewards into the container. This way you can spam click a chest with a stack of bags and get through them quickly. If there's not enough room in the inventory (or your inventory if you're opening them manually), then they'll drop on the ground near you.

There's no commands, you just get the reward bag when you vote. If you're not logged in at the time, you'll get the bag when you next log in automatically.

VC Staff may also give out these reward bags as prizes for things we do, so there may end up being other ways of getting these beyond just voting.

Let me know if you find any bugs, or if you have any suggestions!
Happy voting!

@Gamalin, thanks for reminding me to get on this over the past few months. Hopefully it's good enough :)
