Voting Shop Update!
Hello SentinelCraft!
We are pleased to announce our plans for change of the voting shop have been completed! This is the first major change to voting since 2013-2014,
we think that you'll like the update we have been working on! Our hope is that everyone can take advantage of the new and improved benefits and mechanics
that come from supporting the server and the community! With this change, we would like to attract more new players to the server by increasing the votes for the server.
Overview of the changes
- We have a new server banner on all voting websites; this new banner will be replacing the old dragon banner that has served us well for the last few years.
Thank you for helping us to decide on a new one through community feedback! - Sentinel has been listed on more server sites, increasing the amount of sites you can vote on each day from five to eight.
- Due to the increase in the amount of sites you can vote on each day, we will be extending the top voting prize to the top eight voters rather than the top five.
- A new currency will be implemented to replace tokens. This new currency comes in the form of voting points that can be used in the /votegui shop or /voteshop.
You can only use /voteshop in fedgardia.
One vote equals one voting point, rather than one vote equalling 10 tokens; this system should be easier to use if you want to calculate how many days of voting it will take to buy that rare spawn egg ;). - New items/rewards in the vote shop. We suggest you check it out ASAP in-game, or keep on reading this post!
- A new voting rank has been added! This is a rank that will reward those players who vote regularly. In order to read more about the voting rank, click here (http://sentinelcraft.net/forum/index.php?topic=10817.msg60785#msg60785).
- Head crates have returned! Thanks to bugsy12, head crates are returning to their old schedule allowing voters to buy some sweet heads! Time to get decorating!
- A new voting streak will be added in the future. This is to help reward consistent voting; the more you vote, the better the rewards!
These are the new voting sites
Down below, you can look at the new voting sites we have added! You can always access these links in-game using /vlist.
- https://minecraftpocket-servers.com/server/115787/
- https://minecraftlist.org/server/27321
- https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/server-636680
Since there are more voting sites, it is possible to get more voting points in a month than previously possible.
We will not be changing or "balancing" the value of each voting point to reflect more voting options, as we like to think of the extra voting points per month as a reward for those players that choose to vote on all the sites!
With these new voting sites, it is possible to get a total of 240 voting points per month as opposed to just 150 points per month under the old system.
Voting points are replacing tokens, we have setup a system to transfer your tokens to vote points! In order to do this, you need to do the following:
1) Use /token to see how many tokens you have.
2) Use the following commands to transfer all your tokens to vote points, this system goes per 1000, 100 and 10 tokens.
- /token2votepoint1 - Will transfer 10 tokens to 1 vote point.
- /token2votepoint10 - Will transfer 100 tokens to 10 vote point.
- /token2votepoint100 - Will transfer 1000 tokens to 100 vote point.
3) Keep repeating these commands until all tokens have been transferred to vote points. You can see how many points you have by using /votepoints.
If you have voted since bungee, you will notice that you got some extra points for free! Consider this a reward for your dedication!
Vote Shop
(https://i.postimg.cc/hGbfrHh5/Main-Vote-Shop.png)
With the new voting shop, you can buy various items and perks. You can only use /voteshop in fedgardia. The new shop will carry the following items.
The new vote shop will carry the following items:
- 1. Main Vote Shop
- Fly tokens will be carried in two main categories: /fly in Horizon and Kattalox or /fly in Alpha.
There are coupons that give you /fly in the respective worlds for 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days.
You need 25 days of voting straight to get fly for a month in Horizon and Kattalox. - McMMo Boosts will be available, alongside a shorter cooldown for powerups.
- Head Token Conversion - 1 vote point is 1 head token.
- Dragon Egg | 30 points

- Nether Star | 8 points
- Netherite | 8 points

- Additional perks tied to the voting rank, as listed down below and here (http://sentinelcraft.net/forum/index.php?topic=10817.msg60785#msg60785).
- Any perks bought through the shop will stay once your voting rank expires.

As you can see, we have tried to include some of the community feedback into our voting shop. We will be looking into adding the other suggestions during a next update in the future.
We have decided to remove Enchanted Books and Potion Effects from the vote shop as they were not used as frequently. This may change in the future.
Vote Rank
As stated before, we are adding a new Vote Rank to the server! This rank will be able to be bought from the Vote Store for 150 points and will last 30 days.
You will be able to consistently have the Vote Rank each month if you vote 23/30 days!
Why would I bother?
- Players with the Vote Rank will have a '+' beside their normal rank. Due to some possible confusion in adding a '+' after a staff rank, we have decided to only add the '+' for ranks Donators and below.
For example, [M] would be [M+] if they bought the Vote Rank. - Players with the Vote Rank will get /sunny which will make the weather go away in Horizon or Kattalox. This command will have a 4-hour cooldown to balance it out.
- Players that have the Vote Rank will get /morn and /dark to change the time for everyone in Horizon or Kattalox. This will also have a 4-hour cooldown.
- /glow - Gives you the PvP Glow effect when used, outlining your character. Only the colour of your rank.
- /launch - Allows you to launch yourself through the air.
- Armorstand editor - Opens a menu that allows you to change the positioning/posing of the limbs on an armorstand.
- Opening shulker boxes by shifting and right clicking in the air.
- Using colour codes in books and on signs.
- The ability to buy extra perks in the shop, as explained above.
If any of these perks are abused, they might be removed from you and/or the whole server.
This concludes this announcement for the new changes coming to voting! We're excited to roll these changes out and we hope everyone enjoys them. Feel free to share your opinion on the changes down below.
Thank you for reading - it's time to get voting!
