# DirtyLeaderboards > The ultimate™ leaderboards plugin. Allows you to make modern leaderboards easily. ## 📖 How It Works Everything you see is just vanilla `BlockDisplay`/`TextDisplay` entities, positioned and animated by the plugin every tick. Ten rows that slide in and out with real player heads (``) and item/particle icons (``). Displays cycle through however many leaderboards you configure, one at a time, with slide animations between them. You can run as many separate displays as you want, each with its own location and its own rotation. ## ⚠️ Important Notice > **Compatibility:** Requires **Paper 1.21.9 or newer**. The row > icons rely on the vanilla `sprite`/`head` text components added in 1.21.9, so this won't work > on Spigot or older versions (They will show as ` ` ⬅ a space). > > __[Click to view the list of sprites and their path.](https://www.gamergeeks.net/apps/minecraft/list-of-atlas-sprites/java/1.21.9)__ ## ✨ Features - 🖼️ **Fully entity-based displays** - 🔁 **Multiple leaderboards per display**, rotating on a timer you control - 🔢 **Three data sources** - vanilla Bukkit **statistics**, a custom **Skript** syntax and **PlaceholderAPI** placeholder - 🎨 **Custom styling** - colors, icons (including animated ones, like the playtime clock), rank colors, number/time formatting are customizable for each leaderboard - 🧩 **Skript integration** - effects, expressions, a condition and a rotate event - 🔗 **PlaceholderAPI expansion** - 📡 **A Bukkit event** (`LeaderboardRotateEvent`) for plugin developers - ♻️ **Live reload** - `/dlb reload` reloads all three config files without a restart - 🏷️ **Multiple displays**, each independently started, stopped, skipped or moved ## 🗃️ Leaderboard Sources Each leaderboard in `leaderboards.yml` picks one `source`: - **`statistic`** - pulls straight from a vanilla Bukkit statistic (kills, deaths, playtime, you name it). Can't be manipulated without another plugin. - **`custom`** - Most commonly changed by our custom skript syntax. - **`placeholder`** - modified by PlaceholderAPI placeholders. Offline players are resolved in small batches per tick (`placeholder-players-per-tick` in `config.yml`) so it doesn't slow down the main thread on servers with lots of players. ## 🛠️ Commands Base command is `/dirtyleaderboards`.
Aliases: `dlb`, `leaderboards`, `dirtyboards`, `boards`, `db`, `dirtyboard`, `leaderboard`, `lb`, `dlbs`. If you only have one display configured, you can leave `` empty and it'll default to your only leaderboard. | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/dlb help` | Lists the commands below | | `/dlb list` | Lists every display and whether it's running | | `/dlb reload` | Reloads `config.yml`, `leaderboards.yml` and `messages.yml` | | `/dlb start ` | Starts a display | | `/dlb stop ` | Stops a display | | `/dlb skip ` | Skips to the next leaderboard in the rotation | | `/dlb move ` | Moves a display to where you're standing and facing | ## 🔐 Permission | Permission | Description | Default | |---|---|---| | `dirtyleaderboards.admin` | Access to every `/dlb` subcommand | OP | ## 🧩 Skript The Skript addon registers itself automatically if Skript is present. ```ruby # control a display start the leaderboard display "main" stop the leaderboard display "main" skip the leaderboard display "main" # check state current leaderboard of display "main" leaderboard display "main" is running # read/write a single player's score on a "custom" source board set leaderboard data of player in "points" to 100 add 5 to leaderboard data of player in "points" remove 2 from leaderboard data of player in "points" reset leaderboard data of player in "points" # wipe an entire board for every player (not just yours) clear the leaderboard data for leaderboard "points" # react whenever any display rotates to a new leaderboard on leaderboard rotate: broadcast "%rotated display id% just switched to %rotated leaderboard id%" ``` ## 🔗 PlaceholderAPI Registers as `%dirtyleaderboards_...%` once PlaceholderAPI is installed: | Placeholder | Returns | |---|---| | `%dirtyleaderboards_top___name%` | Name of the player at that rank | | `%dirtyleaderboards_top___value%` | Their value, formatted (e.g. `15.2k`) | | `%dirtyleaderboards_top___raw%` | Their value, unformatted | | `%dirtyleaderboards_value_%` | The viewing player's own value, formatted | | `%dirtyleaderboards_raw_%` | The viewing player's own value, unformatted | ## ⚙️ Configuration - **`config.yml`** - global settings: caching, number/time formatting, and one `displays:` entry per billboard (location, rotation order, colors, block types). - **`leaderboards.yml`** - the leaderboards themselves: source, title, icon, formatting, and stored values for `custom` boards. - **`messages.yml`** - every message the plugin sends. Uses MiniMessage. A single leaderboard entry looks like this: ```yaml leaderboards: kills: enabled: true source: statistic statistic: player_kills title: "TOP KILLS" title-color: "#ee2a2a" value-color: "#FFD263" icon: "" icon-width: 12 format: number minimum-value: 1 duration-seconds: 15 ``` ---
