DifficultyVote is a lightweight Paper plugin that lets your players vote to change the server’s world difficulty in real time.

Features:

• Shows the current world difficulty to players on login (delayed so it doesn’t get lost behind other plugins’ messages).
• Players can vote using /voteDifficulty <easy|normal|hard>.
• Broadcasts votes to other players, showing how many votes are needed to change the difficulty.
• Automatically changes the difficulty when 50% or more of online players vote for the same option.
• Includes a /voteDifficulty help command to explain usage to new players.

Fully compatible with Paper 1.20+ servers.



Perfect for:

• Community servers where players want more control over gameplay. (Some players rather play on an easier, or harder difficulty)
• Adding interactive features for survival worlds.
• Keeping your server dynamic and player-friendly.
• Only 50% of the votes needed, so a player alone on the server can change the difficulty by himself.

EASY Installation:

1. Drop the .jar into your plugins/ folder.
2. Restart the server.
3. Players can immediately start voting for the difficulty! No config file needed!

Roadmap/features to come

• Adding permissions (right now anyone can vote)
• Adding a customisable config file (change the vote percentage, chat message color, etc..)
