SideAPI - Change Scoreboard Text!

Project Page | Wiki | Issues | Documentation | GitHub​

______________________________________________​

SideAPI's main idea is to allow multiple plugins to hook into the sidebar to add/remove lines of text. Here's what it looks like:

​

Features for the player/server admin:

• Less flashing because it only updates if one of the lines have actually changed, rather than every 2 seconds, for example, regardless of whether or not something has changed.
• Using "/toggleside" will toggle the visibility of the scoreboard. This is built into SideAPI, and can be enabled/disabled by the server admin.
• An auto-updater can keep the plugin up-to-date without additional downloading from the project page.

Features for the developer:

• One static method will get you the scoreboard, a.k.a the Side. Just use SideAPI.getSide().
• You can add a line of text to either the beginning or end of the board. The red numbers on the right will automatically change to keep the correct order.
• You still have control over the score to the right (the red numbers).
• Don't worry about creating new objectives, setting scores, getting a new scoreboard, etc. Just get the scoreboard of a player, a.k.a the ScoreText, and add/remove however you'd like! Other plugins can do this too, and no conflicts will occur.

This API is well-documented and is open for changes.
