Better Scoreboard

by X3vro

Better Scoreboard replaces the sidebar scoreboard with a cleaner, modern-looking version that players can restyle in the settings.

FabricClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 Universal1.21.11

What it does

The sidebar scoreboard swaps the default pixelated font for a clean, readable typeface. Its background transparency, padding, borders and line spacing can all be adjusted, which allows a minimalist look. An option hides the red score numbers on the right side, so the board shows fewer elements and takes up less space on screen.

Settings open from Mod Menu and apply in real time through a configuration screen built with Cloth Config. The mod hooks into GameRenderer with lightweight client mixins, and the author states it is built for high performance. It is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers need nothing. Installation needs Fabric API and Mod Menu, and files are published for Fabric 1.21.11 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.
