JScoreboards

Welcome to the JScoreboards Spigot library page.

If you find bugs- report them as a GitHub issue. Thanks!

If you'd like a video tutorial on how this API works, I have a YouTube video you can watch. Otherwise, you can take a look at the wiki.

Maven Repository

Please note- as of version 2.0.3 the Maven repository has changed. Update your pom.xml accordingly:

Repository:

<repository>
    <id>jordanosterberg-repo</id>
    <url>https://nexus-repo.jordanosterberg.com/repository/maven-releases/</url>
</repository>

Dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>dev.jcsoftware</groupId>
    <artifactId>JScoreboards</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.5-RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Make sure to specify your Java build version (e.x. Minecraft 1.8 requires Java 8, whereas 1.17 requires Java 16) in your pom.xml, as well as shade it into your jar file. The API will not work otherwise:

<build>
    <pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.8.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>JAVA_VERSION_HERE</source>
                    <target>JAVA_VERSION_HERE</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2.4</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>shade</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
</build>

If you're having trouble, please submit a GitHub issue. The self hosted Maven repo gig is new to me :]

Project Structure

To support multiple Spigot/Bukkit versions, the project utilizes an abstraction layer to communicate with older server API versions without breaking user facing JScoreboard API compatibility.

Simply, the project is organized like this:

• api module, responsible for user facing JScoreboards API. This API is extremely stable and will not change between versions unless necessary. This module also contains a SpigotAPIVersion enum which decides which internal implementations to communicate with at runtime.
• abstraction module, which defines the requirements for a version specific implementation of certain internal API (generally revolving around registering and handling Minecraft Scoreboard objectives.)

With these two modules in place, version specific implementations can be written:

• 1_8-1_12 for supporting Minecraft 1.8 through 1.12 There is an additional module, team-support-1_12, for supporting new Spigot Team API introduced in 1.12
• 1_13 for supporting Minecraft 1.13
• 1_14-1_17 for supporting Minecraft 1.14 through 1.17 (current latest)

That being said, the only tested versions are as follows:

• 1.8
• 1.16
• 1.17

It is unlikely you will encounter any issues with other versions given how the API operates under the hood (no NMS, packets, etc). However, as in all software, there will be issues and bugs. Open a GitHub issue if you find something that needs to be fixed.
