Scoreboard and Tab
What the in-game scoreboard and tab list show, and how to change them.
HoeWars draws a sidebar scoreboard and a tab list header and footer for every player. Both have two states: a queue state before a match and a started state during one. Everything is configured in plugins/HoeWars/scoreboard.yml, using the same legacy & color codes as the rest of the plugin.
Placeholders in curly braces, such as {time_remaining} or {player_percentage}, are filled in live by the plugin. They are not the same as PlaceholderAPI placeholders; see Placeholders for those.
Sidebar scoreboard
The sidebar updates on a timer set by update-interval (in ticks).
Queue state
Shown while waiting in queue. By default it lists the mode, the arena, the current and needed player counts, and the estimated wait.

queue:
title: "&6&lHoeWars"

- ""
- "&fMode: &e{mode}"
- "&fArena: &e{arena}"

- "&fPlayers: &a{players}&7/&a{max_players}"
- "&fNeeded: &e{players_needed}"
- "&fWait: &e{estimated_wait}"
- ""
- "&6play.yourserver.com"Started state
Shown during a match. By default it shows the arena, mode, time remaining, your block count and floor share, your placement, and the current leader.

scoreboard:
started:
title: "&6&lHoeWars"

- "&fPlacement: &6#{player_position}"

- "&fLeader: &b{top_1_name} &7({top_1_percentage}%)"

- "&6play.yourserver.com"Tab list
The tab list has a header and footer for each state, plus a player-format that styles each name in the list. The started format uses {player_color} so each player shows in their assigned team color.

- ""
- "&6&lHoeWars"

player-format: "{player_color}{player}"Placeholders
These are the tokens you can use in the scoreboard and tab lines.
