MiniBoardX

MiniBoardX

MiniBoardX is a compact, modern, animated scoreboard plugin built for Minecraft servers that want a clean sidebar without giant, messy layouts. It is designed to stay small, readable, and easy to customize while still showing important server and player information like rank, health, level, ping, online players, and server website.

MiniBoardX includes a built-in web browser editor, so server owners can edit the scoreboard without manually touching YAML files. The panel lets you customize titles, lines, colors, animations, presets, placeholders, and settings from your browser.

Built-in Web Editor

MiniBoardX comes with a web panel for easier scoreboard editing.

Default web panel:

http://SERVER-IP:6756

Default bind:

0.0.0.0:6756

Default login:

Username: admin Password: 123456

The web editor includes:

• Dashboard
• Visual scoreboard editor
• Live preview
• Preset/theme manager
• Raw config editor
• Player preferences

• Backup manager
• Compatibility/status page

Important: The default web panel binds to "0.0.0.0", which means it may be reachable from other devices on your network. Change the default password before exposing the server publicly.

Default Scoreboard

The default layout is designed to be small and clean:

• Player name
• Rank
• Health
• Level
• Ping
• Online players
• Website/footer

Normal players show as "Player" by default. Operators show as "OP". If LuckPerms or Vault is installed, MiniBoardX can use your actual rank/group system.

Built-in Placeholders

MiniBoardX includes built-in placeholders, so it can work even without PlaceholderAPI:

PlaceholderAPI is supported for extra placeholders if installed.

• Folia-compatible servers

MiniBoardX does not require NMS, CraftBukkit internals, or ProtocolLib.

Why MiniBoardX?

Most scoreboard plugins can become too large, too cluttered, or annoying to configure. MiniBoardX focuses on keeping the scoreboard compact, polished, animated, and easy to edit from a browser.

If you want a clean sidebar with modern customization, MiniBoardX is built for that.
