Ballotbox

BallotBox is an in-game voting utility specifically designed for ModFest events. This mod allows players to cast their votes for various options (most commonly mods) across different award categories.

Key Features

Players can participate in voting through multiple methods: using the hotkey ('), via the pause menu, or by executing the /vote command.

The system operates based on server-driven data - the server determines available voting categories, selection options, and preserves previous player choices. Each category and voting options are configurable through data files.

When mod IDs are used as voting options, the system automatically displays corresponding mod icons. All made selections are saved to the persistent world state, ensuring data preservation.

Administrators have access to the /votes command (requires permission level 4), which displays voting results with a tally of the most popular options in each category. The system also tracks the voting end date (configurable) and automatically closes voting when the deadline expires.

This mod was originally developed by the team of Prospector, acikek, and Sisby contributors as a base solution for ModFest: Carnival. We welcome bug reports and suggestions for functionality improvements!
