Sidebar Manager — Lightweight Scoreboard Sidebar Plugin

A simple, lightweight sidebar (scoreboard) manager — think TitleManager, but for the right-side panel instead of titles. No NMS, no version-locking — built entirely on the standard Bukkit API.

Features

• Fully configurable sidebar (title + lines) via a single, server-wide config.yml
• Auto-refreshes every second — no animation, just live data
• Built-in placeholders: player name, world, online count, health, food, ping, TPS, date/time
• Vault support — show player balance with %vault_balance%, works with any economy plugin via Vault
• PlaceholderAPI support (optional) — any %xxx_yyy% placeholder from other plugins
• Color code support: & legacy codes and HEX colors (&#RRGGBB)
• Player and admin commands: toggle sidebar visibility, reload config without a restart
• Minimal dependencies, minimal overhead — nothing bloated

Compatibility

Works on Paper, Spigot, and Bukkit/CraftBukkit — the plugin only uses the standard org.bukkit.scoreboard API (Objective + Team), with no NMS hacks and no Paper-only classes. Supported versions: 1.16.5 - 1.21.x.

Commands

Placeholders

%player%          - player name
%online%          - players online
%max_players%     - max slots
%world%            - current world
%health% / %max_health%
%food%
%level%
%ping%
%tps%
%date% / %time%
%vault_balance% / %vault_balance_raw%   - requires Vault

Plus any PlaceholderAPI placeholder, if it's installed on the server.

Configuration

One global config for the whole server — no per-world setup, simple and fast:

enabled: true
title: "&6&l SERVER"
lines:
  - "&7&m-------------"
  - "&fPlayer: &a%player%"
  - "&fWorld: &a%world%"
  - "&fOnline: &a%online%&7/&a%max_players%"
  - ""
  - "&fBalance: &a%vault_balance%"
  - "&fPing: &a%ping%ms"
  - "&7&m-------------"
  - "&eplay.example.com"

Soft Dependencies (optional)

• Vault — for player balance
• PlaceholderAPI — for extended placeholders The plugin works fine without them — those specific placeholders just won't be filled in.
