Minecraft's built-in scoreboard sidebar gets the job done, but it's far from pretty — and customization options are practically nonexistent. Styled Sidebars Mod changes that by giving server operators full control over how sidebars look and behave, supporting static, scrolling, and paged layouts through a clean command-based system. With over 10,000 downloads on Modrinth and deep integration with Text Placeholder API, this server-side mod has become a go-to choice for anyone running a Fabric or Quilt server who wants polished information displays without client-side dependencies.
Key Features
- Multiple sidebar display styles — Choose between static, scrolling, and paged sidebars to present information exactly how you want it. Scrolling sidebars are especially useful for longer stat lists that won't fit on screen at once.
- Server-side scoreboard integration — Everything runs through Minecraft's native scoreboard system, meaning players don't need to install anything on their end. The mod handles all rendering and formatting server-side.
- Text Placeholder API support — Full integration with Text Placeholder API and compatible mods opens up dynamic content possibilities, from live player stats to custom formatted text.
- In-game management commands — Switch between sidebar styles, reload configurations on the fly, and even manage sidebars for specific players — all without restarting the server.

FAQ
Does Styled Sidebars Mod need to be installed on the client?
No. Styled Sidebars is entirely server-side, so only the server needs the mod installed. Players can connect with a vanilla Minecraft client and still see the custom sidebars.
Can I use multiple sidebar styles at the same time?
The mod supports static, scrolling, and paged sidebar styles, and you can switch between them using in-game commands. You can also manage sidebar configurations for individual players on the server.
Is Styled Sidebars compatible with Forge or NeoForge?
No, this mod is built for Fabric and Quilt loaders only. There is currently no Forge or NeoForge version available.
