Troubleshoot Scoreboard Display Issues

Common Problems and Solutions

Scoreboard not appearing: Use /sb toggle to ensure the scoreboard is enabled. Check that at least one player meets the scoreboard's display conditions.

Placeholders showing as text: Verify PlaceholderAPI is installed and the placeholder syntax is correct. Run /sb reload after installing new placeholder plugins.

Animation not working: Check that animation intervals are set to valid tick values. Ensure your config file has no syntax errors by reviewing the animation section carefully.

Performance lag: If multiple complex scoreboards are active, try reducing animation frame counts or increasing update intervals. The plugin is optimized, but excessive animations can still impact servers with many players.

Debugging Steps

1. Run /sb version to confirm the plugin is loaded

2. Run /sb reload to refresh all configurations

3. Check your server logs for error messages related to SimpleScore

4. Verify all permission nodes are correctly assigned

5. Test with a single simple scoreboard before adding complexity

If issues persist, review your configuration file syntax and ensure all referenced placeholders exist on your server.
