VotePipe

Migrate from HytaleVotifier

Step-by-Step

Complete guide to switching from HytaleVotifier to VotePipe

Before You Start

Important: Note down your current HytaleVotifier configuration, especially any custom reward commands. You'll need to recreate these in VotePipe.

Step 1: Create VotePipe Account

  1. Go to app.votepipe.com and sign up
  2. Create a new organization for your server
  3. Note your webhook URL from the Providers page

Step 2: Configure Vote Sites

Update each vote site to use your new VotePipe webhook URL:

  1. Log into each vote site where your server is listed
  2. Find the webhook/callback URL settings
  3. Replace the old URL with your VotePipe webhook URL
  4. Save changes

Tip: VotePipe webhook URLs look like:https://api.votepipe.com/v1/webhook/your-org/provider-key

Step 3: Install VotePipe Plugin

  1. Stop your Hytale server
  2. Remove HytaleVotifier.jar from your mods folder
  3. Download VotePipe plugin from CurseForge or Modtale
  4. Place the JAR in your server's mods/ folder
  5. Start and stop the server to generate config

Step 4: Configure Plugin

Edit mods/Mythlane_VotePipe/config.json:

json
{ "token": "vpt_your_token_here", "poll_interval_ms": 5000, "enabled": true, "debug": false }

Get your plugin token from Settings → Plugin.

Step 5: Configure Rewards

Recreate your HytaleVotifier rewards in VotePipe:

See Automatic Mode Guide for detailed setup.

Step 6: Verify Migration

  1. Start your server
  2. Run /votepipe status to verify connection
  3. Cast a test vote on one of your vote sites
  4. Check the VotePipe dashboard for the vote
  5. Verify rewards were delivered in-game
