Topper
by HSGamer
Topper is a Fabric leaderboard mod that tracks player statistics and shows them in ranked boards on a server.
What it does
Topper ranks players by values drawn from the game and presents the rankings as leaderboards that other players can read. It targets server owners who want a scoreboard for competition or progress tracking. The mod works with Fabric API and Text Placeholder API, which are both required, and it can also read LuckPerms and MiniPlaceholders when those are installed.
Topper is open source under the MIT License. Its source code, issue tracker and wiki are publicly linked. Files are published for Fabric across game versions 1.8 – 26.3, with 4.7.2 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric file, last updated on 2026-09-18. The mod was first published on 2023-12-10.
Topper is also available for Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia as server platforms rather than as mod loaders, so the same server software can run it.
Key features
Ranked leaderboards
Players are sorted into boards that display their rankings, which the server can show to everyone who joins.
Selectable storage backends
Leaderboard data can be kept in YAML, JSON, SQLite or MySQL storage, depending on the size and setup of the server.
Lightweight design
The author describes a focus on performance compared with other leaderboard plugins, and a small server footprint.
Placeholder support
Values are exposed through placeholders, so they can be used in chat, scoreboards and other displays on the server.

Community hubs
A shared board gives a server a simple way to show contributions or achievements to its members.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want leaderboards on Fabric, Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur or Folia servers, with a choice of data storage.
How it compares
Topper is open source under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 1.8 – 26.3. Death Count is also MIT licensed, but it covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric. Hide Minimega Leaderboards is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, for 1.21.10 – 26.2, so it changes what a player sees rather than what the server tracks.
