    The title explains all. I am unsure of how to completely eliminate scoreboard flicker. I saw a plugin with a scoreboard that changes the text like every tick. It seems to have not a single flicker at all and looks very fluent. How do I eliminate all scoreboard flicker/flash or at least almost entirely?

    @Agentleader1 It really depends on the lag of the server, because the server will try to update the scoreboard as fast as it can, but if there is lag, then there will be delay between.

    @Agentleader1 If you only set team prefix and suffix it won't flicker, I heard removing scores and adding back flickers aswell (I haven't tested it), if you set the screboard (Player#setScoreboard) it will always flicker

    That's not true, I did a test to make some scrolling text on the scoreboard, and it didn't flicker at all every time I set the new scoreboard.

    @567legodude It dpeends on latency, but is the cause of it, I'm not saying it will flicker every #setScoreboard call, but it will be flickering.

    @567legodude There are like 2 ways that I can think of that can fix this. One method to achieve this is here and the other is here
