Map Vote Bot

MapVote is a self-hosted Discord bot that lets your Rust community vote on the next wipe map. Built for server owners who want a clean, reliable voting system.

What's New in v2.0.0

Scheduled votes — Queue a vote to start automatically at a set time. Schedules survive bot restarts, so nothing gets lost if the bot goes down.

Vote history — /vote_history shows a full log of past votes with winners, vote counts, and timestamps.

Role select ping — Optionally select a role to ping when a vote starts to notify your community.

Persistent storage — All votes and map data are stored in SQLite. Nothing is lost on restart.

Features

Live vote tracking with animated progress bars

2–5 maps per voting session

Standard maps (any size/seed), custom RustMaps.com maps, and staging branch support

Detailed map info — biomes, islands, rivers, and more

Automatic winner determination with random tie-breaking

Role-based command access via Discord's built-in Server Integrations (no bot config needed)

Ephemeral setup flow — vote configuration is private to the admin running it

Commands

/map_vote Start or schedule a map vote

/vote_history View past vote results for your server

Restricting Access

By default the commands require Administrator. You can grant access to specific roles without giving them admin — go to Server Settings > Integrations > MapVote and configure per-command role access.
