Every Scoreboard

A tool to generate all the scoreboard objectives available in Minecraft. All of them, for any most versions.

It works by generating a datapack which will create the scoreboards for you.

How to use

You can find 'pre-made' datapacks over here. If you don't find what you need, read the following section; you can skip it otherwise.

'Compiling'

First of all, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/samipourquoi/every-scoreboard.git
$ cd every-scoreboard

Install the dependencies with this command; make sure you have pip installed.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To 'compile' the datapacks, run the following:

# For 1.16.2
$ python3 scripts/create.py --mcversion="1.16.2" -c

# For 1.15.2
$ python3 scripts/create.py --mcversion="1.15.2"

The -c flag will add the custom objectives to the datapack. Be careful however! It is made for the latest version(s) of the game only. You will probably need to modify the resulting mcfunction files at the end if you do it for an older version of Minecraft.

The -eta flag will add all the block tag objectives from the EndTech Additions Mod as well as the custom objectives. You need EndTech Additions running on your server for these objectives to work.

The resulting files will end up at datapacks/every-scoreboard-<version> and dictionaries/dictionary-<version>.json. We will come back to the second file later on.

Running the datapack

Once you have the datapack ready, move it over your world's datapacks folder. Log on to your world and enter the following commands:

/reload
/function every-scoreboard:create

And here you're all set! If you wish to get rid of all of these objectives, run:

/function every-scoreboard:delete

See the naming convention over in the next section.

Note that the scoreboard names won't change between versions of the game. That means you can have your world in 1.15.2 with that datapack, then updates your world to 1.16.2, run the datapack for that version again, and you will keep your scoreboards from 1.15.2, with the new ones.

Naming convention

The scoreboards are name accordingly:

• m-<block> Mined blocks
• u-<item> Used items
• c-<item> Crafted items
• b-<item> Broken tools
• p-<item> Picked up items
• d-<item> Dropped items
• k-<mob> Killed mobs
• kb-<mob> Killed by mob
• z-<stats> Custom (find all the possible stats over here)

⚠️ Important note ⚠️

Scoreboards name can't be longer than 16 characters! To solve that issue, the program truncates the names which are too long, and replace their end with a series of number.

If you wish to create your own tool solving that issue, you can find a JSON of key-value's (fullname to truncated name) in the generated dictionaries/dictionary-<version>.json file.

I have programmed a linking bot between a Discord chat and a Minecraft server, with other utilities, that handles that issue. You can find the code over here if you wish to set it up.

'Recover' your old stats

What if you have already started your world without all of these fancy scoreboards? No problem! You can actually take the statistics from your world and convert them to commands, which will update the objectives to their actual value.

To do so, run the update.py script like so:

$ python3 scripts/update.py -D="./dictionaries/dictionary-1.16.2.json" -S="path/to/stats"

• the -D flag will set the path of the dictionary (needed to convert full name scoreboards to their truncated form).
• the -S flag will set the path of the stats folder. It's usually found at .minecraft/saves/<world>/stats, or <server>/world/stats. It should contain plenty of JSON files.

There are 4 optional tags. If you have a custom scoreboard made for dig's, you can set their name and they will get updated:

• --dig="<name>" sets the name of the general dig scoreboard (counts all blocks mined)
• --picks="<name>" sets the name of all type pick uses (netherite, diamond, iron...)
• --shovels="<name>" sets the name of all type shovel uses
• --axes="<name>" sets the name of all type axe uses

The program will generate a datapack at datapacks/every-scoreboard-<version>. Make sure you have a backup of your world just in case something goes wrong. Drag it to your world's datapacks folder, and enter these commands:

/reload
/function #every-scoreboard:update
