Candle Dashboard
A themable /vote GUI where each site is a candle — lit when ready, dimmed on cooldown. Configure layout, items, and links in menus.yml.
DaisyVotes — Overview
DaisyVotes is a premium voting and vote-party plugin for modern Paper servers. It pairs a polished pastel candle dashboard with a full engagement loop — a vote points economy and shop, a daily reward wheel, streaks with milestone rewards, server-wide vote parties, top-voter leaderboards, Discord webhooks, and a complete PlaceholderAPI expansion — all backed by an async SQLite database that needs zero setup.
It ships with vanilla-safe defaults: a brand-new server with no economy or crate plugin still gets a complete, working voting experience out of the box. Every piece of text uses MiniMessage, and every config file is plain YAML.

How it fits together
Section titled “How it fits together”- A player votes on a server list. The list sends the vote to DaisyVotes’ built-in receiver.
- DaisyVotes matches the vote to a configured site, drops duplicates, and processes it asynchronously.
- It updates the player’s counts, streak, points, and the server vote-party progress, then grants rewards (queuing them if the player is offline).
- It checks the daily wheel set, fires Discord embeds, plays effects, and broadcasts as configured.
