Scoreboards & Message Configuration

Both scoreboards and messages are configurable and support placeholders.

  • Scoreboards are configured in: scoreboards.yml

  • Messages are configured in: messages.yml

Placeholders can be used in scoreboards, holograms, and messages. If you’re using PlaceholderAPI, make sure it’s installed and working.


Scoreboards (scoreboards.yml)

Scoreboards are fully configurable and support:

  • Standard color codes (example: &a, &c, &7)

  • Placeholders (example: %cs_coins%, %server_online%)

  • Hex gradients in titles (example: <#084CFB>...)

Scoreboard sections (states)

Most setups use these sections:

  • lobby — shown in the global lobby

  • pre-game — shown while waiting / before the match starts

  • in-game — shown during the match

  • end — shown at the end of the match

Each section has:

  • Title

  • lines (a list of lines)

Tip: Use an empty string ("") for spacing.

Example configuration


Messages (messages.yml)

Messages are almost fully configurable.

Placeholder formats in messages

Your messages may include placeholders like:

  • %cs_arena% (PlaceholderAPI-style)

  • {cooldown} or {kit} (plugin placeholder format)

Example configuration


Common mistakes

  • Removing required placeholders like {cooldown} or {kit}.

  • Changing message types that have strict rules (example: “items must be 2 lines”).

  • Breaking YAML formatting (indentation matters in .yml files).

If a message stops showing up, revert that section to the default config and re-apply changes slowly.
