Config Files

# ============================================================
# Scoreboard - default.yml
# ============================================================
# This file defines ONE sidebar scoreboard.
# Every .yml file inside:
#   /plugins/AdvancedScoreboard/scoreboards/
# is a separate scoreboard that you can select in config.yml
# (globally or per-world).
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# MINECRAFT LIMITS (IMPORTANT)
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# 1) The sidebar can display up to 15 lines (line-1 ... line-15).
# 2) Each line is split into a Team prefix/suffix internally.
#    Minecraft has strict length limits (~64 visible chars each).
#    The plugin automatically cuts text safely and carries colors
#    to the suffix.
# 3) "score" controls vertical order:
#    - higher score = higher line on the sidebar.
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# TEXT FORMATTING (YOU CAN MIX BOTH STYLES)
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# A) Classic Minecraft formatting using '&'
#    Colors: &0..&f
#    Styles: &l (bold), &o (italic), &n (underline),
#            &m (strikethrough), &r (reset)
#    Example: "&6&lGold Title"
#
# B) MiniMessage formatting (Adventure)
#    <bold>text</bold>
#    <italic>text</italic>
#    <underlined>text</underlined>
#    <strikethrough>text</strikethrough>
#    <reset>
#    <color:#RRGGBB>text</color>
#    <gradient:#RRGGBB:#RRGGBB>text</gradient>
#
#    Example:
#    "<gradient:#00e5ff:#9b5cff><bold>LIVE</bold></gradient>"
#
# C) HEX with '&' style: &#RRGGBB
#    Example: "&#ff00ffMagenta"
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# PLACEHOLDERS (PlaceholderAPI OPTIONAL)
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# The plugin supports PlaceholderAPI but does not require it.
# If PlaceholderAPI is installed, you can use %placeholders%.
# If it is NOT installed, placeholders will appear as plain text.
#
# Common examples (if you have the expansions installed):
# - %player_name%
# - %player_ping%
# - %server_online%
# - %server_uptime%
# ============================================================

scores:
  # ----------------------------------------------------------
  # hidden (reserved)
  # ----------------------------------------------------------
  # Vanilla Minecraft always shows score numbers internally.
  # Bukkit/Paper API cannot hide them reliably.
  # This option is reserved for a future ProtocolLib/NMS mode.
  #
  # true  = (currently no visible effect)
  # false = default
  hidden: false

  # ==========================================================
  # TITLE (scoreboard header)
  # ==========================================================
  title:
    # text:
    # - 1 entry  -> static title
    # - 2+ entries -> animated title (frames)
    #
    # Tip: gradients and <bold> look best in titles.
    text:
      - "<gradient:#00e5ff:#9b5cff><bold>SERVER INFO</bold></gradient>"
      - "<gradient:#9b5cff:#00e5ff><bold>SERVER INFO</bold></gradient>"

    # random:
    # true  = pick a random frame each update
    # false = play frames in order (1,2,3,...)
    random: false

    # interval (ticks):
    # How often to switch to the next frame.
    # 20 ticks = 1 second
    interval: 10

  # ==========================================================
  # LINES (up to 15)
  # ==========================================================

  #     - "frame 2"
  #   random: false
  #   interval: 20
  #   score: 99
  #
  # Notes:
  # - If "text" has 1 line -> the line is static.
  # - If "text" has multiple lines -> the line is animated.
  # - The "score" decides position (higher = higher).

# TEXT FORMATTING GUIDE
#
# You can write messages in 2 styles:
#
# 1) MiniMessage (recommended) - uses <tags>
#    Examples:
#      <red>Hello</red>
#      <bold><green>Server</green></bold>
#      <gradient:#00c6ff:#0072ff>Gradient Text</gradient>
#      <rainbow>Rainbow</rainbow>
#
# 2) Legacy formatting (Minecraft codes)
#    Use & codes:
#      &a green, &c red, &l bold, &n underline, &o italic, &r reset
#    Hex with &:  &#RRGGBB
#      Example: &#ff00ffHello
#
# Placeholders:
# - If PlaceholderAPI is installed, placeholders like %player_name% will work automatically.
# - If PlaceholderAPI is NOT installed, the plugin still works and placeholders stay as plain text.
