Animated, per-world scoreboards with placeholders, conditions and HEX colours.

Discord | Source Code | Report a Bug


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-Support in config.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.

Example scoreboard
Scoreboards:
  default:
    Default: true
    Default-World: world
    Other-Worlds:
      - '*'
    Display-Name: '&fDefault Board'
    Permission: none
    Refresh:
      Scoreboard: 5
      Title: 10
      Title-Loop-Delay: 5
      Board-Loop-Delay: 30
    Boards:
      Board1:
        Title:
          - '&bRealScoreBoard'
          - '&6> &9RealScoreBoard &6<'
        Lines:
          - '%blank%'
          - ' &7Name: &f%playername% &8| &f%ping%'
          - ' &7Money: &f%money% &8| &7XP: &f%xp%'
          - '%blank%'
      Board2:
        Title:
          - '&bStatistics &aBoard'
        Lines:
          - '%blank%'
          - '  &fKills: %kills% &7| &fKD: %kd%'
          - '%blank%'

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<}

You can make gradients at rgb.birdflop.com.

New

In-game settings menu: admins can run /rsb (or /sb) to edit the config in-game.
Dialogs support: on 1.21.6 and newer, the settings menu and typed input use the new native dialogs. You can switch this off with the new Use-Dialogs option in config.yml. Older servers ignore it and keep using the chat and inventory menus.
External scoreboard API: other plugins can now hook in and show their own scoreboard to a player through ExternalScoreboardManagerAPI / ExternalBoard. RealScoreboard steps aside while a hook's board is active.
/rsb hooks: lists the plugins hooked into RealScoreboard, with their version and how many players are seeing each plugin's scoreboard.

Fixes

Text conditions no longer throw exceptions when they fail to parse. (#86, thanks SupaYoshi)
Clicking items in your own inventory no longer triggers buttons in RealScoreboard menus.
Clearer error messages for empty or malformed player and entity selectors in commands.
A missing message now sends just the prefix instead of showing null.

Changes

Requires Java 16 or newer.

### Added conditions. Conditions can be defined in config.yml in the conditions section, for example:

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!'

You can use $skip in order to avoid showing a line in a condition, like:
Not-Met: '$skip'

You can call a condition in the scoreboard by using: %cond:low_hp%
The conditions can evaluate Integers (5, -10), Doubles (5.5, 10, 3.14), Booleans (true/false).
The supported operators are ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=

Some examples are:
"5 > 3" -> true
"5.5 > 3" -> true
"5.0 == 5" -> true
"name == name" -> true
"not == equal" -> false
"not != equal" -> true
"true == false" -> false
"10.5 < 20.5" -> true
"5 != 3" -> true
