BetterScoreboard

BetterScoreboard is a Minecraft Bedrock behavior pack that adds new automatic scoreboard criteria through simple custom commands.

Vanilla Bedrock scoreboards are powerful, but most objectives only work as dummy, meaning you have to update them yourself with commands. BetterScoreboard fixes that by adding custom criteria such as player kills, deaths, health, hunger, XP level, jumps, block stats, gamerules, and world counters.

Create an objective once, and BetterScoreboard will keep it updated automatically.

Features

Adds a custom /betterscoreboard command

Adds a /helpscoreboard command to explain criteria

Automatically tracks player kills and deaths
Tracks player health, food, and XP level
Tracks jumps, chat messages, item uses, sleep, fishing, projectile hits, blocks broken, and blocks placed
Tracks world-wide block break/place totals
Tracks world time of day
Tracks many gamerules as scoreboard values
Uses fake player scores like world for world-based criteria
Works with normal Minecraft scoreboard displays after creating the objective

Commands

Create a BetterScoreboard objective

/betterscoreboard objective create <objectiveName> <criteria>

Example:

/betterscoreboard objective create deaths player.death.any

This creates a scoreboard objective named deaths that automatically counts every player death.

Another example:

/betterscoreboard objective create hp player.health

This creates a scoreboard objective named hp that stays set to each player’s current health.

Help command

Show the main help page:

/helpscoreboard

Show a specific help page:

/helpscoreboard 2

Explain one specific criterion:

/helpscoreboard player.kill.any

Fallback Commands

Depending on your Minecraft version, custom command aliases may not always appear without the namespace. If /betterscoreboard or /helpscoreboard does not work, use:

/lilyscore:betterscoreboard objective create <objectiveName> <criteria>

/lilyscore:helpscoreboard <page>

/lilyscore:helpscoreboard <criteria>

Create a health display:

/betterscoreboard objective create health player.health
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay belowname health

Requirements

Minecraft Bedrock Edition
Behavior pack support
Cheats enabled
Beta APIs / Experimental scripting features may be required depending on your version
Designed for worlds that support the Bedrock Script API

Notes

BetterScoreboard creates normal Minecraft scoreboard objectives.
After an objective is created, you can display it with normal /scoreboard objectives setdisplay commands.
Some criteria depend on Bedrock Script API events, so behavior may vary slightly between Minecraft versions.
player.fish.caught is detected by checking fish item pickups after fishing rod use.
player.sleep is detected when a player successfully enters a bed.
World criteria use the fake player name world.

Planned Ideas

More criteria may be added in future versions, such as:

Online player count
Weather state
Entity spawn counters
Entity death counters
Explosion counters
Dimension-specific block counters
More detailed item and block-specific criteria
More projectile and combat stats
