Overview
ScoreboardPL is a powerful, lightweight and fully customizable scoreboard plugin for your Minecraft server. Designed for simplicity and performance, it works completely out of the box — no database, no complex setup, just drop it in and configure.
Every single aspect of the scoreboard is controlled through a single, well-documented config.yml file. Add lines, remove lines, reorder them, change colors, swap placeholders — all without touching a single line of code.

🔌 PlaceholderAPI Support
ScoreboardPL now hooks into PlaceholderAPI — fully optional, zero extra config:
- Use any placeholder from any other plugin that registers with PlaceholderAPI (Essentials, Jobs, mcMMO, ...) directly in your lines or title, right alongside ScoreboardPL's own 35+ built-in placeholders.
- PlaceholderAPI not installed? Nothing changes — everything works exactly like before.
- ScoreboardPL also publishes its own values for other plugins to use, via
%scoreboardpl_visible%and%scoreboardpl_toggle_status%.
✨ Effects
Give your scoreboard some flair, without any resource pack or extra plugin:
| Tag | Effect |
|---|---|
&#RRGGBB |
A single true RGB hex color |
<gradient:#00c6ff:#0072ff>Text</gradient> |
A smooth color gradient across the text |
<rainbow>Text</rainbow> |
An animated, moving rainbow |
You can also animate the title itself: instead of one static title, give title-frames a list of 2+ lines and ScoreboardPL cycles through them automatically (speed configurable). All of this is 100% optional — a plain config with just &-color codes still looks and works exactly as before.
