Hey everyone, If looking to semi-automate the voting process to support your favorite server, this tutorial is for you. I’ll show you how to create a batch file that opens all the voting links in Chrome with just one double-click. This will save you time and ensure you don’t miss a vote. What You’ll Need A Windows PC Google Chrome installed Basic understanding of how to use Notepad Step-by-Step Guide 1. Open Notepad First, open Notepad. You can do this by typing notepad into the Start menu search and pressing Enter. 2. Write Your Commands In Notepad, Copy and Paste the following commands to open each voting link in Google Chrome: Spoiler: Code batch @Echo off echo Opening voting links in Chrome... start chrome "https://minecraft.menu/server-ecocitycraft-economy.2577/vote" start chrome "https://minecraftbestservers.com/server-ecocitycraft-economy.1629/vote" start chrome "https://www.curseforge.com/servers/server/ecocitycraft-economy/vote" start chrome "https://minecraft.buzz/vote/7298" start chrome "https://best-minecraft-servers.co/server-ecocitycraft-economy.1309/vote" start chrome "https://servers-minecraft.net/server-ecocitycraft-economy.24122/vote" start chrome "https://minecraftlist.org/vote/11929" start chrome "https://minecraft-server.net/vote/EcoCityCraft/" start chrome "https://topminecraftservers.org/vote/3276" start chrome "https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/server-380058" start chrome "https://minecraft-mp.com/server/7096/vote/" start chrome "https://minecraft-server-list.com/server/7038/vote/" start chrome "https://minecraftservers.org/vote/6021" echo Done! All links have been opened in Chrome. pause Spoiler: For Default Browser @Echo off echo Opening voting links in the default browser... start "" "https://minecraft.menu/server-ecocitycraft-economy.2577/vote" start "" "https://minecraftbestservers.com/server-ecocitycraft-economy.1629/vote" start "" "https://www.curseforge.com/servers/server/ecocitycraft-economy/vote" start "" "https://minecraft.buzz/vote/7298" start "" "https://best-minecraft-servers.co/server-ecocitycraft-economy.1309/vote" start "" "https://servers-minecraft.net/server-ecocitycraft-economy.24122/vote" start "" "https://minecraftlist.org/vote/11929" start "" "https://minecraft-server.net/vote/EcoCityCraft/" start "" "https://topminecraftservers.org/vote/3276" start "" "https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/server-380058" start "" "https://minecraft-mp.com/server/7096/vote/" start "" "https://minecraft-server-list.com/server/7038/vote/" start "" "https://minecraftservers.org/vote/6021" echo Done! All links have been opened in the default browser. pause Spoiler: Explanation of Commands: @Echo off: This command prevents the commands from being displayed as they are executed. echo Opening voting links in Chrome...: This displays a message indicating that the process has started. start chrome "URL": This command opens a new instance of Google Chrome with the specified URL. echo Done! All links have been opened in Chrome.: This displays a message indicating that all links have been opened. pause: This pauses the execution of the batch file and waits for the user to press a key before closing the command window. 3. Save the File Save the file with a .bat extension. In Notepad, go to File > Save As. In the “Save as type” dropdown, select “All Files”. Name your file ECC Vote.bat and save it to a location you can easily find, like your Desktop. 4. Run the Batch File Navigate to where you saved your batch file. Double-click it to run. You should see a command window open, displaying your messages and opening each voting link in Google Chrome. Tips and Tricks Default Browser: If Chrome is not your default browser, you can specify the full path to the Chrome executable. For example, start "" "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "URL". And that's it! Now you can easily vote for EcoCityCraft on multiple sites with just one click. Happy voting!

Of course I can think of quite a few ways to open the links. This is just an option and one I prefer. I find it faster. Plus, I created a shortcut so I could change the icon to an ECC icon and put it right next to my minecraft launcher. It helps me to remember to vote when I log in . I was considering using windows task scheduler to just run the batch at the same time everyday. But sometimes I don't get on ECC at the same time.
Created for those who don't use chrome as the default browser To modify the batch script to open links using the default browser instead of specifically Chrome, you can use the start command without specifying the browser. Here is the updated script: Code: @Echo off echo Opening voting links in the default browser... start "" "https://minecraft.menu/server-ecocitycraft-economy.2577/vote" start "" "https://minecraftbestservers.com/server-ecocitycraft-economy.1629/vote" start "" "https://www.curseforge.com/servers/server/ecocitycraft-economy/vote" start "" "https://minecraft.buzz/vote/7298" start "" "https://best-minecraft-servers.co/server-ecocitycraft-economy.1309/vote" start "" "https://servers-minecraft.net/server-ecocitycraft-economy.24122/vote" start "" "https://minecraftlist.org/vote/11929" start "" "https://minecraft-server.net/vote/EcoCityCraft/" start "" "https://topminecraftservers.org/vote/3276" start "" "https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/server-380058" start "" "https://minecraft-mp.com/server/7096/vote/" start "" "https://minecraft-server-list.com/server/7038/vote/" start "" "https://minecraftservers.org/vote/6021" echo Done! All links have been opened in the default browser. pause
