ScoreboardLib
A flicker-free scoreboard library with support of text up to 48 characters.
ScoreboardLib is a flexible library for adding pretty, animated scoreboards to your plugin without requiring you to figure out how to get rid of random flickers or limitations. This library is introduced to dealt with following problems in the original API and similar libraries:
- Scoreboards cannot display text of more than 16 characters. Solved.
- Scoreboards cannot display the same text more than once. Solved.
- The scoreboard is flickering all the time. Solved.
- Random disappearance of lines. Solved.

Other reasons to use ScoreboardLib?

- Displays up to 48 characters instead of 16.
- Easy to implement animated text with help of ScrollableString and HighlightedString.
- Designed to be scalable and flexible.
- Performant. ScoreboardLib doesn't create a scoreboard every time the content is updated.
- Can be used as a standalone plugin, or be shaded into your project.

How do I use it?
First, you have to decide whether you use ScoreboardLib as a standalone plugin, or you just go shade it into your own plugin. For the latter case, you have to add following code to your onEnable():
Code (Text):
ScoreboardLib.setPluginInstance(this);
For the scoreboard itself, here is an usage example:
Code (Text):
for (Player player: getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
Scoreboard scoreboard = ScoreboardLib.createScoreboard(player)
.setHandler(new ScoreboardHandler() {
private final ScrollableString scroll = new ScrollableString(Strings.format("&aThis string is scrollable!"), 40, 0);
private final HighlightedString highlighted = new HighlightedString("This string is highlighted!", "&6", "&e");
@Override
public String getTitle(Player player) {
return null;
}
@Override
public List<Entry> getEntries(Player player) {
return new EntryBuilder()
.next(" " + scroll.next())
.next(" " + highlighted.next())
.blank()
.next(" &b&lCURRENT TIME MILLIS")
.next(" " + System.currentTimeMillis())
.blank()
.next(" &c&lCURRENT NANO TIME")
.next(" " + System.nanoTime())
.blank()
.next(" &7This line is equivalent to another line")
.next(" &7This line is equivalent to another line")
.blank()
.build();
}
})
.setUpdateInterval(2l);
scoreboard.activate();
}
Scoreboard scoreboard = ScoreboardLib.createScoreboard(player)
.setHandler(new ScoreboardHandler() {
private final ScrollableString scroll = new ScrollableString(Strings.format("&aThis string is scrollable!"), 40, 0);
private final HighlightedString highlighted = new HighlightedString("This string is highlighted!", "&6", "&e");
@Override
public String getTitle(Player player) {
return null;
}
@Override
public List<Entry> getEntries(Player player) {
return new EntryBuilder()
.next(" " + scroll.next())
.next(" " + highlighted.next())
.blank()
.next(" &b&lCURRENT TIME MILLIS")
.next(" " + System.currentTimeMillis())
.blank()
.next(" &c&lCURRENT NANO TIME")
.next(" " + System.nanoTime())
.blank()
.next(" &7This line is equivalent to another line")
.next(" &7This line is equivalent to another line")
.blank()
.build();
}
})
.setUpdateInterval(2l);
scoreboard.activate();
}
To remove the scoreboard, use:
Code (Text):
scoreboard.deactivate();
