RealScoreboard
Lightweight and efficient scoreboard manager.
Animated, per-world scoreboards with placeholders, conditions and HEX colours.
What is RealScoreboard?
RealScoreboard shows a sidebar scoreboard to your players. You write the scoreboards in scoreboards.yml: an animated title, lines with placeholders, the worlds they appear in and who can see them. A scoreboard can also have several boards that it cycles through. Players can turn their scoreboard on and off, and the choice is saved.
Features
- No flicker, built on FastBoard, with lines refreshed asynchronously
- No red numbers on the right side on 1.20.3+
- Animated titles, and scoreboards that cycle between several boards
- Per-world scoreboards, with a default scoreboard per world and a list of worlds where the scoreboard is hidden
- Permission scoreboards: give a scoreboard a permission and players who have it see that one instead of the default
- Built-in placeholders, plus every PlaceholderAPI placeholder
- Conditions: show one text or another depending on a placeholder's value
- HEX colours and gradients
- Announcements: show a message as a scoreboard to every player for a few seconds
- Hides the scoreboard while vanished, based on a list of vanish commands
- mcMMO support: steps aside while an mcMMO scoreboard is shown (turn on
mcMMO-Supportinconfig.yml) - Settings menu in game; on 1.21.6+ it uses native dialogs
- SQLite and MySQL storage for each player's on/off choice
- RealPermissions integration and a developer API
- Fully configurable YAML files
Scoreboards
Every scoreboard in scoreboards.yml has:
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
Default |
Whether it's the scoreboard players get in its world when no permission scoreboard applies |
Default-World, Other-Worlds |
Where it shows; use '*' in Other-Worlds for every world |
Permission |
The permission needed to see it, or none |
Display-Name |
The name shown in menus |
Refresh |
How often (in ticks) the lines update, the title changes frame, and the boards switch |
Title, Lines |
The title frames and the lines, or a Boards section with several boards, each with its own title and lines |
Each line of the Title list is one animation frame.

Board2:
Title:
- '&bStatistics &aBoard'
Lines:
- '%blank%'
- ' &fKills: %kills% &7| &fKD: %kd%'

Conditions
A condition shows one text when it's true and another when it's false. Define it in config.yml and put %cond:<name>% on a line, e.g. %cond:low_hp%.
A condition is value operator value, separated by spaces. Placeholders are filled in first, then the values are compared as whole numbers, decimals, booleans or text.
| Values | Operators |
|---|---|
| Numbers | == != > < >= <= |
| Text | == != contains startsWith endsWith |
Put $skip in the Met or Not-Met text to hide the whole line.
Example conditions
Conditions:
xp:
Condition: '%xp% > 3'
Met: '%aXP is bigger than 3!'
Not-Met: '&cYou need to get 3 XP!'
low_hp:
Condition: '%life% <= 5'
Met: '&cWatch out!'
Not-Met: '&aYou are fine!'
HEX Colours
- Single colour:
{#69ffde} - Gradient:
{#ffffff>}Gradient!{#00aeff<}
