Scoreboard Server
by godkyo98
Scoreboard Server is a Fabric server-side scoreboard mod that reworks the sidebar, tab list and chat output through placeholder tags.
What it does
Scoreboard Server is built to run only on the server, so players connect without installing anything. Its sidebar, tab list and placeholder output are handled by a packet-based system that the author says removes the flicker of the stock scoreboard and the memory leaks that come with it. Tags support hex colors, bold text, custom icons and animated frames for tab list headers, and time values shorten automatically, so 7d 10h 11m or 7d 10h 1y 2mo are displayed compactly.
Kyo Scoreboard, the mod itself, requires Fabric API and Placeholder API V3 on the server, and the author notes the Placeholder API library by Patbox as the basis for its node parser. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.3 for 26.3 as the latest build dated 2026-09-19. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links to the source and a wiki are available.
