MultiScoreboard
Minecraft's sidebar is a powerful tool for tracking objectives, but it has always had a frustrating limitation: you can only display one scoreboard at a time. That all changes with MultiScoreboard, a Fabric mod that unlocks the full potential of the sidebar by letting you view multiple scoreboards and NBT data simultaneously. Whether you're running a complex minigame server, managing a survival world with friends, or just want to keep an eye on several stats at once, this mod transforms the way you interact with game data.
What Does MultiScoreboard Do?
At its core, MultiScoreboard is a client-server mod that expands the sidebar's capabilities. In vanilla Minecraft, the /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar command only allows one objective to be shown. With this mod, you can stack multiple objectives, individual scores, and even raw NBT data on the same sidebar, giving you a comprehensive overview without needing to switch between displays.
The mod requires installation on both the client and the server to function. If only one side has it, the sidebar behaves exactly like vanilla, so make sure everyone in your multiplayer session has it installed. MultiScoreboard supports recent Minecraft versions and runs on the Fabric loader, making it a lightweight addition to your modpack.
Displaying Multiple Scoreboards
Using MultiScoreboard is straightforward. To add a new objective to the sidebar, simply run the command /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar <objective> multiple times with different objectives. Each call adds another entry to the sidebar. If you call the command with the same objective again, it removes that objective from the sidebar. The standard /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar (without an objective) still clears the entire sidebar, so you can reset everything quickly.
This feature is perfect for servers that track multiple stats like kills, deaths, playtime, and currency. Instead of choosing one, you can display them all at once, creating a rich, informative HUD for players.
Individual Score Display
Beyond full objectives, MultiScoreboard lets you display individual scores. Use the command /scoreboard objectives setdisplay indivSidebar [<objective>] [<target>] to toggle specific scores. Here's how it works:
- If you specify both an objective and a target, that player's score is toggled on the sidebar.
- If you specify only an objective, all individual scores for that objective are removed.
- If you specify neither, all individual scores are cleared from the sidebar.
This is ideal for highlighting top players or specific metrics without cluttering the display with full leaderboards.
NBT Sidebar: Displaying Raw Data
One of the most unique features of MultiScoreboard is its ability to show NBT data directly in the sidebar. This opens up endless possibilities for map makers and server admins. To toggle NBT data, use the command /data multiscoreboard toggle (block <targetPos>|entity <target>|storage <target>) [<path>] [<name>].
If you omit the <path>, the root compound is displayed. If you omit <name>, a default name is generated based on the data object and path. You can also remove specific NBT sidebars with /data multiscoreboard remove <name> or clear all sidebars for a data object using /data multiscoreboard removeAll (block <targetPos>|entity <target>|storage <target>).
Imagine tracking a player's health, position, or inventory contents in real time, or monitoring a block's state from across the map. MultiScoreboard makes this data visible at a glance, which is a game-changer for technical Minecraft players.
Scrolling Through Your Sidebar
With so much information available, you might worry about screen space. MultiScoreboard solves this with a built-in scrolling system. Use the Up or Down arrow keys to scroll through the sidebar entries. If you hold Ctrl while pressing an arrow key, the next sidebar entry in that direction is brought directly into view, allowing for quick navigation through long lists of data.
This makes the mod practical even when you have dozens of entries, keeping your HUD clean and manageable.
How to Install MultiScoreboard
Installing MultiScoreboard is simple if you're familiar with Fabric mods. First, ensure you have the Fabric Loader and Fabric API installed for your Minecraft version. Then, download the MultiScoreboard jar file from a trusted mod repository and place it in your mods folder. Remember, the mod must be on both the client and the server for it to work.
