Welcome to PhantomBoard
an extremely lightweight scoreboard plugin for 1.14+ that works with PlaceholderAPI placeholders.

Planning on installing the plugin?
Please read the whole description
to ensure if the plugin will work well for you.

Features!

• Create a scoreboard to show to your server
• Almost every single message the plugin shows you is configurable
  
• Players with permission can toggle if they can see the scoreboard
• Scoreboard toggles persist over restarts
  
• Scoreboard can show PlaceholderAPI placeholders (such as the player's health and ping)
• Highly optimised - the plugin only used 0.01% of the total tick (with normal gameplay in the background too).
  
• Customisable update period - you can refresh every scoreboard as quick as a 20th of a second (though it will flicker if it's that fast), or a balanced 1 time a second (default), or whatever other value you want.
  
• Ability to reload the scoreboards whilst the plugin is running
• Messages and other settings will automatically reload - however, the scoreboard is cached to improve performance, so it must be reloaded manually when you change it in the settings file.
• Asynchronous update checker built in, can be disabled
  
• Open source
• Brilliant support
• Well-documented configuration files so you know how to perfect your scoreboard
• Well-documented wiki can help you get started with the plugin

Why PhantomBoard?

• Price? It's 100% free to install
• Support? Decent support of when you run into an issue, feature request or question
• Prehistoric? It's a plugin built in 2020 for the servers of today
• Bloated? Only the stuff that most servers actually need are included
• Lightweight? For sure, this plugin was designed from the ground up with performance in mind

Here's a sample scoreboard utilising various PlaceholderAPI placeholders!

Got a decent scoreboard set up with PhantomBoard? I'd be proud to include it here!

Limitations to consider

2

To keep the plugin stable and extremely lightweight, here are some limitations:

• No support for versions older than 1.14.X.
  
  • PB will only support 1.14+ as the Netherboard API only supports 1.14+ (AFAIK). I'm also only experienced in developing 1.14+ plugins, I don't want to offer the community a half-working pile of garbage.

• No support for server software other than Spigot and Paper.
  
  • I have no clue if CraftBukkit or anything else works properly with PhantomBoard. If you happen to test it out and have results, please PM me so other users know if it does or doesn't work :)

Need to contact me?

• Best methods:
  • Join my support discord and make a ticket in the #tickets chat
  • Create an issue on the GitHub Issue Tracker
• Other methods:
  • DM me on Discord @ lokka30#6659
  • Message me on SpigotMC via DMs, the plugin's discussion page or my profile. Do not contact me in the reviews section, I will not give support or help you with issues there!

Plugin Metrics:

This plugin uses bStats to record completely anonymous metrics of the environment the server is running in - e.g. server is online/offline mode, CPU cores, plugin version, etc.
These figures help me in developing the plugin. If you for some reason want to disable bStats metrics, head to the bStats folder in the plugins folder and disable it in their config.

Servers using PhantomBoard:

• Have you got a server using PhantomBoard? PM me with its name and IP address and I can include it here.

I don't really want to put this massive red text in my plugin's description, but unfortunately I have to :c
