About this plugin:
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.

  • Over 1500 placeholders with the PlaceholderAPI

  • 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

Config file:​
  • 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

Code (YAML):
#Here you can set per world scoreboards &lt;worldname&gt;:&lt;filename&gt;
#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 :
&nbsp; #The global scoreboard is not required and can be removed without causing any issues. The plugin will just hide the scoreboard in that case.
&nbsp; global :
&nbsp;- adminboard
&nbsp; - globalscoreboard
&nbsp; world :
&nbsp;- adminboard
&nbsp; - defaultscoreboard
&nbsp; world_the_end : endscoreboard
&nbsp; world_nether : netherscoreboard
#Now only players with the permission animatedscoreboard.test will get the scoreboard
permissions:
&nbsp; 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 &nbsp; &nbsp;: stores the player data in human readable form in playerdata.yml
# - SQLITE &nbsp; : 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
