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:
- Default: whether it's the scoreboard players get in its world when no permission scoreboard applies
- Default-World and 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 and Lines, or a Boards section with several boards, each with its own title and lines

Default: true
Default-World: world
Other-Worlds:
- ''

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.
- Numbers: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
- Text: ==, !=, contains, startsWith, endsWith
