FastBoard

A Scoreboard API for Bukkit with 1.7-1.16 support.

Features

• No flickering (without using a buffer)
• Works with all version from 1.7.10 to 1.16.
• Really small (around 500 lines with everything) and don't use any dependency
• Easy to use
• Dynamic scoreboard size: you don't need to add/remove lines, you can just give String list (or array) to change all the lines
• Everything is at packet level, so it works with other plugins using scoreboard and/or teams
• Can be use in an async thread (but is not thread safe yet)
• Support up to 30 characters per line on 1.7-1.12
• No characters limit on 1.13+
• Support 1.16 custom hex colors

Create a scoreboard

Just create a new FastBoard and update the title and the lines

FastBoard board = new FastBoard(player);

// Set the title
board.updateTitle(ChatColor.GOLD + "FastBoard");

// Change the lines
board.updateLines(
        "", // Empty line
        "One line",
        "", // Empty line
        "Second line"
);

Example

Just a small example plugin with a scoreboard that refresh every second :

package fr.mrmicky.fastboard.example;

import fr.mrmicky.fastboard.FastBoard;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Statistic;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerQuitEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.UUID;

public final class ExamplePlugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

    private final Map<UUID, FastBoard> boards = new HashMap<>();

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

        getServer().getScheduler().runTaskTimer(this, () -> {
            for (FastBoard board : boards.values()) {
                updateBoard(board);
            }
        }, 0, 20);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();

        FastBoard board = new FastBoard(player);

        board.updateTitle(ChatColor.RED + "FastBoard");

        boards.put(player.getUniqueId(), board);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onQuit(PlayerQuitEvent e) {
        Player player = e.getPlayer();

        FastBoard board = boards.remove(player.getUniqueId());

        if (board != null) {
            board.delete();
        }
    }

    private void updateBoard(FastBoard board) {
        board.updateLines(
                "",
                "Online: " + getServer().getOnlinePlayers().size(),
                "",
                "Kills: " + board.getPlayer().getStatistic(Statistic.PLAYER_KILLS),
                ""
        );
    }
}
