**A powerful, lightweight, and easy-to-use Scoreboard & Team management API for Bukkit\/Spigot servers.**<\/p>\n

Build stunning scoreboards, manage teams, and control gameplay interactions with minimal code.<\/p>\n

Documentation \u2022 Discord Community<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

—<\/p>\n

Certain tasks are impossible to perform with the standard Bukkit API and may require working with and even modifying Minecraft directly. A common method is to modify incoming and outgoing packets or add custom packets. However, this can be quite complicated, especially for beginners. It also requires regular maintenance, as updates to Minecraft particularly due to code obfuscation can easily break these implementations.<\/p>\n

VelaBoard gives Spigot plugin developers a clean, flexible API for managing Minecraft scoreboards. Whether you need a per-player HUD sidebar, a shared scoreboard displayed to an entire server, or full team management with colors and collision rules \u2014 VelaBoard handles it with minimal boilerplate.<\/p>\n

### For server operators<\/p>\n

\nJust download Velaboard from above. It doesn’t do anything on its own, it simply allows other plugins to function.\n<\/div>\n

### For developers<\/p>\n

\n Here are the documentation, API references, and examples\u2014please review them to get a clear understanding of how everything works.\n<\/div>\n
