Hey everybody, it’s Under My Cat, and welcome back to another video. Today, I’m going to show you how to use the Minecraft /scoreboard command. This will be a step-by-step tutorial. Most of the video will probably be in the command line because the scoreboard command is much easier to use and doesn’t require a lot of repetition. There are two main parts to the Minecraft scoreboard command: objectives and players. Objectives are what we will focus on the most because they set the rules for how the Minecraft program gathers data. The scoreboard command collects that data and displays the scores, such as kill counts, blocks broken, and more. The players section is primarily for managing these rules, allowing you to reset or change data. This is useful if you want to reset a kill count or health count. You simply type in the reset command followed by the players’ names. Since we don’t have any objectives set yet, we will need to create one. First, you want to add an objective. We will type in “add,” and nothing else will pop up because it is asking for a name. Let’s use “health.” After typing in the name, you then select the rule. Since we are naming it health, I will select health here. As you can see, we are going to add an objective called health that will track all player health. When I press ENTER, it will confirm that we’ve added a new objective. You won’t see anything yet because I haven’t set the display. The “set display” command in the objectives determines where you want to show that objective. You can set it below players’ names so that when you’re playing with others, you can see their health, or you can place it in a list. The list is the section at the top that shows everyone online when you’re on a server, while the sidebar is commonly used and is a small box in the middle of the screen on the right. For now, we will use the sidebar for health. I will input “set display sidebar health” and press ENTER. Now, we have added health to the sidebar, but nothing shows up because I haven’t changed my health. Since I’m in creative mode, there won’t be any updates, but when I refresh, you should see my health appear in the corner. As you can see, whenever I take damage, my health decreases until it reaches zero. This is really cool because it updates constantly, and it’s great to show off to your friends! Now, let’s add a new objective. I’ll type “add food” and press ENTER. We now have a new objective for food, and I’ll go back to set the display: “set display sidebar food.” As you can see, it disappears because we replaced the scoreboard for health with food. Let’s run around to lower my hunger. After some time, I’ll notice that my hunger will decrease, and the scoreboard should update. I might need to amplify it by 10 to see if it does anything. There we go! As you can see, my hunger is decreasing quite quickly and updating in the food scoreboard. Now that we have covered that part of the scoreboard command, let’s go back to modify commands. The modifier allows you to select a command you want to execute or the objective you want to modify. If you want to change the display name, you simply type a new display name. For example, if I enter a series of numbers, you can see I have changed the display name. Next, we have the “list” command that shows you all the types of objectives you have, while “remove” will delete an objective. If I remove health, it will be taken off the list as well. Now let’s move on to players. The players section contains various operations and commands that allow you to customize the scoreboard further. For example, if I reset food, you will notice it disappears. If I become hungry again, it will reappear. As I walk around, the scoreboard updates, and if I reset food again, it will disappear until my hunger changes once more. Moving on to players again, the “remove” command takes away scores for different players, and the “get” command shows what their score is. For instance, if I use this command, it will tell me that a player has a certain score and their name. You can also change scores with the “set” command; however, it’s important to note that with certain objectives, you cannot change them since food is read-only and the game can override it. That covers the main parts of the command. Now let’s discuss the “dummy” objective. I’m going to get a command block to help explain this better. The dummy scoreboard is one that you can override. The game doesn’t override it; instead, the player or a command block overrides it. If we use the command, “scoreboard objectives add test1 dummy,” we can set a display name of our choice. Now, let’s go back to the scoreboard. You will set the display to sidebar and test1. Now that we’ve done this, we can change the score of the dummy objective. If I set the score to 50, it will display as 50. I can also change it to other values, such as 40, or any other number. Thank you so much for watching this video!
