What it does

Scoreboard Helper adds a small set of functions around the Minecraft scoreboard. The sidebar of the scoreboard shows the scores of tracked objectives, and the mod lets a player page through the list with the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys, which are bound to page up and page down by default. Players can flip the view, change the opacity of the sidebar background and title, hide the numbers when they are not needed, and set a failure count that the mod checks is a positive integer. All of this is set in a configuration screen.

The mod also covers scoreboard teams, including the older Minecraft versions where Mojang still kept the Team class in the scoreboard package. When the team messaging option is on, the client sends in-team messages through the teammsg command in place of normal chat, and a message that starts with a hashtag is sent as a normal message with the hashtag removed. Commands that begin with a slash are not affected. A button in the scoreboard screen exports the objective shown on the current sidebar to a file in the game's versions folder. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric. It is client-side only, so servers run without it and players alone install it.

Key features

  1. Sidebar paging

    Up Arrow and Down Arrow page through the objectives shown on the scoreboard sidebar, with page down and page up as the default keys.

  2. Sidebar appearance

    Background and title opacity can be set separately, and the player score numbers can be hidden from the sidebar.

  3. Team messaging

    With the option enabled, team chat is sent through the teammsg command, and a leading hashtag sends a normal message instead.

  4. Scoreboard export

    A button exports the objective currently displayed on the sidebar to a data file in the versions folder.
