About

A clean, transparent place for the Minecraft hacking community to express preferences, with every result public.

What this is

We ask the wider community plain questions: what language you write backends in, which mod loader you prefer, shaders or raw FPS. Then we publish every result openly. It isn't tied to any product, just a neutral, honest read on what people actually think.

How it works

ask: a small set of live questions, each with a few options.
vote: sign in with Discord and pick one. You can change your vote until the poll closes.
show: live tallies are public to everyone, no login required, with an open JSON + CSV export.
discuss: conversation lives in the Discord, not in a comment box here.

Open data

Every poll's aggregate results are public and exportable: /api/v1/polls lists them all as JSON, and each poll offers a CSV download. Only aggregate tallies are ever published; individual votes never leave the server.

One vote per person

Discord login is the anti-sockpuppet boundary: one vote per account. Depending on the poll, we may also ask for a minimum account age or membership of the companion server to blunt brigading. Login is used for nothing else.
