How voting works on Craft Down Under — rewards, streaks, the sidebar, and daily vote parties.

How to Vote

Voting is one of the best ways to support Craft Down Under. Each vote helps our listing rank climb, brings new players in, and pushes the whole network toward the daily vote parties. It helps the community a lot — and you get paid for it.

Vote at craftdownunder.co/vote. Every listing on that page is a separate vote site (Planet Minecraft, Minecraft-MP, and so on). You can vote on each site once every 24 hours.

Be online

Votes are processed instantly. Being online on a CDU server when you vote is what unlocks the full reward package — balance, items, claim chunks, and streak bonuses.

  • Online — full personal rewards on the server you're on, plus your vote counts toward the daily party.
  • Offline — the vote still counts for the party, but you only get a vote-count increment. No balance, no items, no streak bonus. Rejoin and vote again next time if you want the goods.

Note

Enter your Minecraft username with the correct capitalization. Votes reset on a UTC day (midnight UTC).

Tip

Open the vote page and work through every listing in one sitting. That's the highest per-vote balance — see Streaks for why.

Rewards

Every successful online vote grants all of the following.

Always

RewardAmount

Everyone on your server also sees a yellow actionbar thanking you by name and site.

Lifetime milestones

Hitting 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, or 500 recorded votes grants a one-time package (only if you're online):

  • Network-wide chat announcement
  • +3 extra FTB Chunks claim chunks and +300 Flan claim blocks
  • 1 netherite block, 1 nether star, 1 cake, 8 slime blocks
  • 5 Vault knowledge star essence, 1 Cobblemon Master Ball

Streaks

Service streak (same sitting, different sites)

Voting on a different listing within 5 minutes raises that vote's balance payout by +2¤ each time.

Distinct sites in the windowPayout
1st site25¤
2nd site27¤
3rd site29¤
+2¤ each new site
Cap50¤
  • Repeating a site you already hit in the window does not bump the streak (you still get the current streak amount).
  • Letting 5 minutes pass resets the chain back to 25¤.
  • After each vote you get a thank-you message with the amount paid, how many sites you've hit recently, and a clickable prompt to vote one more link.

Weekly daily-vote streak (Monday–Sunday, UTC)

The first vote of each UTC day also updates a weekly board and can pay a daily bonus.

Consecutive days this weekDaily bonus
Day 1+0¤
Day 2+10¤
Day 3+20¤
Day 4+30¤
Day 5+40¤
Day 6+50¤
Day 7+60¤
  • Only the first vote each UTC day pays the bonus and shows the board. Later votes that day still pay normal per-vote rewards.
  • Missing a day resets the consecutive run.
  • A new week starts fresh every Monday (UTC).

The board is seven hoverable boxes: gold = today, green = voted, red = missed, grey = not reached yet. A perfect week is +210¤ in daily bonuses on top of normal vote pay.

Vote Parties

Every vote from every player counts toward a shared UTC daily tally. Crossing a threshold pays everyone currently online — you do not have to be the person who cast the deciding vote, but you do have to be on a server.

Each tier fires at most once per UTC day. If the network hits GIGA in one day, everyone online for each fire can receive 4,500¤ from parties alone (300 + 600 + 900 + 1,200 + 1,500).

ULTRA VOTE PARTY1,200+900¤Vote Party Cake
UBER VOTE PARTY1,600+1,200¤Vote Party Cake
GIGA VOTE PARTY2,000+1,500¤Vote Party Cake

Everyone online also gets a commemorative Vote Party Cake named with the tier, goal, and date. A chat banner and rainbow title fire on every server when a party hits.

The sidebar

A scoreboard sidebar on every server shows the live daily tally, how many votes remain until the next party, and which tiers have already fired. It uses the same numbers as the progress bar on the vote page.

  • The count is network-wide — every player's votes count.
  • It resets at midnight UTC, along with the party tiers.
  • Stay online when the bar is close. Party rewards only go to players on a server when the threshold is crossed.

Hiding the sidebar

Prefer a clear screen? /togglesidebar hides it for the rest of your session. The command ships with Quasar 5.11 and up — check /q version if a server hasn't picked it up yet (it rolls out as they restart).

The default new-player rank cannot use it. The minimum unlock is the first playtime rank, at 12 hours of total network playtime. It is also available right away if you have any other playtime rank, a store rank, CDU Plus, Prosperous (admin shop), or Discord Nitro booster status.

Note

If you don't qualify yet, a client-side scoreboard-hide mod is fine — that is not against the rules.

Tip

Votes help the community far beyond the ¤ in your pocket. They keep CDU visible on listing sites, bring new players in, and fund the daily parties everyone shares. If you're on, vote.
