About AnimatedScoreboard
From SpigotMCAn animated and anti-flicker scoreboard plugin with 1500+ placeholders, effects and eventtriggers
AnimatedScoreboard is a fully customizable and flickerless scoreboard plugin. It supports over 1500 placeholders, thanks to the PlaceholderAPI. It also includes custom tags/effects!
It is also able to handle unlimited scoreboards per world and scoreboards based on permissions.
It is free and will always be free.
Works on every 1.8 - 26.1 Spigot server.

Features:
- A lag-free anti-flicker, even when using very advanced scoreboards that exist of many different animations
- Fully compatible with nametag / tablist plugins such as NameTagEdit
- Fully compatible with other plugins that (temporarily) use the sidebar such as mcMMO

- Supports placeholders to modify the scores (red numbers on the right side)
- Over 1500 placeholders with the PlaceholderAPI
- Custom made tags/effects and event triggers which supports every event!
- No line length limit on server version 1.13 or newer (Lines are limited to 32 characters including colorcodes when using 1.12 or lower)
- On server version 1.16 or newer you have full RGB support (format: &#hexcolor)
- On server version 1.20.3 or newer you have the ability to hide the red numbers on the sidebar.
- Multiple scoreboards per world
- Permission-based scoreboards with hooks into LuckPerms, GroupManager and zPermissions to automatically change scoreboards if permission changes
- Toggle, reload, list and switch command
- Custom placeholders: %animatedscoreboard_enabled% and %animatedscoreboard_scoreboard%. More information about them can be found here.
- An API for replacing and editing certain lines
- Set the scoreboards per world and a global scoreboard.
- Add permissions to certain scoreboards
- Enable/disable PlaceholderAPI, event triggers, automated update checker
- Set the player storage type
- force-legacy option: If you're running a 1.13+ server but use ProtocolSupport or ViaBackwards to allow <1.12 to join you have to enable this if you want the scoreboard to look correctly on all client versions
#If you don't add a world here in will not have a scoreboard in that world!
#World has 2 scoreboards, it will activate them based on how the are
#listed, in this example it will first look if players can have adminboard and if
#not switch to defaultscoreboard
worlds :
#The global scoreboard is not required and can be removed without causing any issues. The plugin will just hide the scoreboard in that case.
global :
- adminboard
- globalscoreboard
world :
- adminboard
- defaultscoreboard
world_the_end : endscoreboard
world_nether : netherscoreboard
#Now only players with the permission animatedscoreboard.test will get the scoreboard
permissions:
adminboard : animatedscoreboard.test
#If this is set to true it will try to use PlaceholderAPI placeholders
placeholderapi : true
#If this is set to true it will check on SpigotMC if there is a new version available for the plugin and notify you!
check_updates : true
#When this is true it will send info messages to the console, this is more usefull if something is going wrong
debug_mode : false
#This will enable the event triggers, if this is set to false the event triggers won't work
enable-triggers : false
# What data storage should we use:
# - YAML : stores the player data in human readable form in playerdata.yml
# - SQLITE : stores the player data in a local SQLite database called playerdata-sqlite.db
player-storage : SQLITE
# Only enable this if you're running a 1.13+ server.jar but still accept clients below 1.13
force-legacy : false
