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
-
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>

Explosion counters
-
Dimension-specific block counters
-
More detailed item and block-specific criteria
