    What's New:
    • Finally have a name for "the vote plugin"
    • Lottery items now persist through restarts
    • Addition of "/votetop" command
      • Can be used for monthly votes, total votes, or VotePoints by changing the first argument
        Eg. "/votetop monthly" OR "/votetop total" OR "/votetop points"
      • Takes an optional index for the second argument to determine which ranks to display
        Eg. "/votetop monthly 20" displays this month's #11-20 top voters
    • Shop is now stocked and fully functional
      • Like before, "/voteshop" command opens the shop
      • Items are shown with a description, cost, and duration and can be purchased by left clicking
        [​IMG]
      • If an item is already active, you won't be able to purchase it again until it's worn off
      • Active items and their respective durations appear when you join the game and when you use the "/vote" command
      • Shop items expire exactly duration after activating them; in other words, you can't "save your time" by logging off the server while you're not using the item
    What's Planned for the Future:
    • Periodic reminders for how much time you have left until your shop item expires
    • Shop menu doesn't exit when it sends you a message; instead, the message is sent in the item text box
    • Duration on a shop purchase "stacks" with remaining duration
    • Message on login if any of your shop items expired while you were offline
    • More shop items (I need suggestions!)
    • Ability to cash in only a portion of your VotePoints for rupies (suggested by StephenP67 and epic_poke8)
    • Creative shop
    Known Bugs (PM me on the forums if you find more):
    • Missing texture when using "Unbreakable Tools" perk if item isn't at full durability
      • Note: The item still works like normal and won't lose any durability; the regular texture just isn't visible
      • This will be fixed once we're on an official 1.8 build

    Awesome! :D

    Here are my ideas, hope they are okay.

    Ideas:
    - Exchange VPs for in game "buffs" (like fire resistance, haste, etc.)
    - Purchase diamond tools/armor (enchanted)
    - Possibly rare items? For a lot of VPs (like 1, tops ;))
    - Mob eggs (cow, villager, etc.)
    - I doubt this is possible, but it would be awesome if you could purchase discounted chest locks if you use VPs. I don't know if that would be possible, but it could be a way to influence those who don't vote often, to vote to lock their chests.
    EXAMPLE:
    Rupies to lock a chest = 500r
    VotePoints to lock a chest 4vp (discount of 100r for using VPs)

    Hopefully some of these where okay xD

    VOTE PEOPLE! VOTE 4 PEDRO, jk vote for shadecrest y'all @ http://mc.shadecrest.com/vote/
