Styled Sidebars

Styled Sidebars mod provides powerful tools for creating dynamic server-side information panels using the scoreboard system. You get complete control over information display to players with support for various operation modes.

Main Features

Three types of sidebars are supported:

• Static - information remains unchanged
• Scrolling - text smoothly moves with looping capability
• Paged - information is divided into multiple pages with automatic switching

All formats are fully compatible with Text Placeholder API and supporting mods.

Management Commands

• /styledsidebars - main command (available by default)
• /styledsidebars reload - reload configuration and styles
• /styledsidebars switch <style> or /sidebar <style> - change active style
• /styledsidebars switchothers <players> <style> - change style for other players

Configuration Setup

Main configuration file is located in ./config/styled-sidebars/ folder:

{
  // Configuration version - do not modify!
  "config_version_dont_modify": 1,
  // Default style (determined by style filename)
  "default_style": "default",
  "messages": {
    // Message on successful style change
    "changed": "Your sidebar has been changed to: <gold>${style}</gold>",
    // Message when trying to select non-existent style
    "unknown": "<red>This sidebar doesn't exist!</red>"
  }
}

Creating Styles

You can create unlimited number of styles by placing them in ./config/styled-sidebars/styles/ folder. Use reload command to apply changes.

Example style structure:

{
  // Access conditions for the style
  "require": {/ ... /},
  // Display name in commands
  "config_name": "...",
  // Update interval in ticks (1/20 of second)
  "update_tick_time": 20,
  // Page and title change settings
  "page_change": 5,
  "title_change": 10,
  // Scroll speed
  "scroll_speed": 1,
  // Scroll looping
  "scroll_loop": true,
  // Panel title (supports formatting)
  "title": ["...", "...2"],
  // Lines for single-page panels
  "lines": [
    "...",
    {
      "value": ["..."],
      "require": {/ ... /}
    }
  ],
  // Pages for multi-page panels
  "pages": [
    ["...", {/ ... /}],
    ["..."]
  ]
}

Supported Placeholders
