Scoreboards

BattleArena comes pre-installed with a scoreboards module that lets you configure scoreboards for an arena.

Configuring the Module

This module can be enabled by adding scoreboards to the modules section of your Arena Configuration.

Scoreboards Configuration

This module adds a scoreboards.yml to BattleArena, which can be found in plugins/BattleArena/scoreboards.yml. In this file, you can configure scoreboard templates which can be used across any arena. Here is an example of a template used in the waiting phase and in-game phase.

templates:
  waiting:
    title: "<gold>Waiting for players..."
    refresh-time: 1s
    lines:
      - simple:
          lines:
            - " "
            - "<yellow>Players: <white>%online_players%/%max_players%"
            - "<yellow>Map: <white>%map%"
            - " "
            - "<white>battleplugins.org"
  ingame-list:
    title: "<gold>%arena%"
    refresh-time: 1s
    lines:

            - "<yellow>Time remaining: <white>%time_remaining_short%"
            - " "
            - "<yellow>Players:"
