A clean, lightweight server-presentation plugin with a full in-game GUI editor.
✔ Works on Spigot AND Paper — 1.21.4 · Java 21
One jar runs on both. PlaceholderAPI is optional (everything works without it).
Bundles the Adventure library so colored & clickable text works on Spigot too.
SimpleTSMA controls the four things every server shows its players — the Tab bar,
a sidebar Scoreboard, the server-list MOTD, and automatic Announcements —
plus an in-game GUI editor so you can configure all of it without touching files.
Everything is driven by simple, commented YAML and reloads live with one command — no restart,
no duplicate tasks, no ghost scoreboards. No NMS, no database, no external GUI library.

Feature highlights
» Tab bar — custom header & footer, full color, live placeholders (online, ping, TPS, world…), per-world disable.
» Scoreboard — flicker-free sidebar, custom title & lines, per-world board selection, players toggle their own with /sb.
» MOTD — static / random / rotating server-list messages, two lines, one-command maintenance mode.
» Announcer — scheduled chat / action-bar / title announcements, ordered or random, clickable chat lines (open URL, run/suggest command, copy to clipboard), instant /announce.
» GUI editor — edit every module from inventory menus (/simpletsma editor), guided chat-input with a Clickable Link Helper, live module toggles, preview tools. Click-locked (no item theft), reload-safe.
» Live reload — /simpletsma reload re-reads everything with no restart.
» Optional PlaceholderAPI — 11 built-in placeholders always work; external ones resolve when PAPI is installed.
Placeholders (always available)
%player% %player_name% %display_name% %online% %max_players% %world% %ping% %server_name% %time% %date% %tps%
Install PlaceholderAPI for any external %placeholder%.
Installation
- Put simpletsma-1.0.0.jar in your server's plugins/ folder (Spigot or Paper, 1.21.4).
- Start the server — it generates plugins/SimpleTSMA/ with six commented config files.
- Edit the YAML (or run /simpletsma editor) and apply with /simpletsma reload.
- (Optional) Install PlaceholderAPI for external placeholders.
- Spigot: the sidebar scoreboard shows the red side-numbers (0,1,2…) — there's no Spigot API to hide them. On Paper they're hidden automatically. Everything else is identical on both.
- Legacy & color codes (RGB gradients / MiniMessage are planned for a later version).
- If the vanilla /scoreboard takes priority, use /sb or /simpletsma:scoreboard.
