Boardy
Boardy is an ultra-lightweight, fully customizable scoreboard, tablist, and chat plugin for your Minecraft server built to deliver maximum performance with almost zero impact on TPS or memory usage.
Designed to stay insanely fast, clean, and smooth even on large servers.
Supports MiniMessage formatting throughout.
⚡ Cloud Database Sync
Boardy features instant cloud database synchronization powered by mc.drafterplus.nl. Manage all your scoreboard, tab, and chat configurations directly from a premium web dashboard.
- Real-time Sync: Any changes made on the web dashboard are instantly pushed and applied to your Minecraft server in real-time.
- Dual-mode Support: Easily toggle between local file loading and cloud synchronization.
- Instant Connection: Bind your Minecraft server to the cloud with a single secure token command.
Dependencies
| Plugin | Required | Link |
|---|---|---|
| PlaceholderAPI | Recommended | Download |
| Vault | Optional | Download |
| LuckPerms | Optional | Download |
PlaceholderAPI is strongly recommended. Without it, placeholders like
%player_name%and%server_online%will not work.
Scoreboard
A clean, always-visible sidebar showing player info, server stats and your branding. Fully configurable lines, title and update interval.
