AdvancedScoreboard: The Ultimate Fixed-Order Sidebar for Minecraft Servers

Every server admin knows the struggle: you set up a beautiful scoreboard, only to watch it shuffle lines around or flicker every time a value updates. AdvancedScoreboard solves that problem with a modern, fixed-order sidebar that stays exactly as you designed it. Whether you run a small survival world or a large network, this plugin gives you the clean, professional look your server deserves without the headache of constant reconfiguration.

Why AdvancedScoreboard Stands Out

Most scoreboard plugins suffer from a common flaw: lines jump around as values change. A player’s health drops, and suddenly the entire sidebar reshuffles. AdvancedScoreboard locks every line in place, so your carefully designed layout remains intact no matter what. This fixed-order system is the core of the plugin, and it works seamlessly on Paper and Spigot servers running Minecraft 1.21.x. The result is a polished, professional HUD that players can actually rely on for quick information.

Beyond stability, the plugin is packed with built-in placeholders. You can display player name, world, coordinates, health, kills, deaths, ping, online player count, and even server TPS without installing any extra dependencies. For those who want to go further, optional PlaceholderAPI integration unlocks thousands of additional variables from other plugins. This flexibility makes AdvancedScoreboard a perfect fit for survival, minigame, and hub servers alike.

Key Features That Set It Apart

• Fixed-order lines – No more shuffling or flickering when stats update.
• Live statistics – Display player name, world, coordinates, health, kills, deaths, ping, online count, and TPS in real time.
• PlaceholderAPI support – Use any %placeholder% from installed expansions for endless customization.
• Per-player toggles – Let players turn the scoreboard on or off with a simple command.
• Hot reload – Edit the config and apply changes instantly without restarting the server.
• Persistent settings – Player toggle preferences are saved across restarts.
• Lightweight design – Optimized for performance, even on large servers.

How to Install AdvancedScoreboard for Minecraft

Getting started with AdvancedScoreboard is straightforward. First, ensure your server runs Paper or Spigot 1.21.x (Java 17+ required). Download the plugin JAR from a trusted source and drop it into your server’s plugins/ folder. Restart the server or use a plugin manager to load it. A default configuration file will generate automatically at plugins/AdvancedScoreboard/config.yml. Open that file, customize the title and lines to your liking, then run /asb reload to apply changes without downtime. That’s it—your fixed-order sidebar is live.

If you’re looking for an even smoother setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a curated add-on catalog where AdvancedScoreboard can be installed with a single click, automatically handling version compatibility and updates so you can focus on building your community rather than managing files.

Commands and Permissions

AdvancedScoreboard keeps things simple with just two commands:

• /asb toggle – Allows players to show or hide their personal scoreboard. Requires the permission asb.toggle (default: true).
• /asb reload – Reloads the configuration file and updates all online players instantly. Requires the permission asb.reload (default: op).

These minimal commands reduce clutter and make it easy for both players and staff to interact with the plugin.

Built-in Placeholders and Customization

The plugin comes with a rich set of built-in placeholders that cover most server needs. You can use {player}, {world}, {x}, {y}, {z}, {health}, {max_health}, {kills}, {deaths}, {ping}, {online}, and TPS values like {tps_1m}, {tps_5m}, {tps_15m} directly in your config. If you need more, simply install PlaceholderAPI and any of its expansions—then use the standard %placeholder% format. The hot reload feature means you can tweak colors, add new lines, or integrate economy stats without ever restarting the server.

Performance and Compatibility

AdvancedScoreboard is built to be lightweight. It updates efficiently and avoids the lag spikes that can plague poorly coded sidebar plugins. The fixed-order system eliminates the need for constant re-sorting, which reduces server load. It’s fully compatible with Paper 1.21.x and Spigot 1.21.x, and while it may work on older versions, the developer recommends using the latest Paper build for the best experience, especially for accurate TPS and ping data.

Why Choose AdvancedScoreboard Over Other Scoreboard Plugins?

Many scoreboard plugins either lack fixed-order lines or require complex scripting to achieve a stable layout. AdvancedScoreboard delivers this core feature out of the box. Its per-player toggle with persistent settings respects individual preferences, and the hot reload saves time during configuration. The optional PlaceholderAPI integration means you’re not locked into a limited set of variables. For server owners who value a clean, professional-looking scoreboard that just works, AdvancedScoreboard is a top-tier choice.
