SignOfTheTimes Scoreboard Test

Countdown timer shown using Scoreboard. Problem is the larger of minutes or seconds is moved to the top line. Seconds are based on an interval of 20 Minecraft ticks.

It is likely using scoreboard will not produce desired results. This is because the scoreboard requires a set format for displaying score information. That format include an OfflinePlayerName and a Score. OfflinePlayerName is either an online or offline player's IGN. It can also be any text one chooses. My test used "Minutes:" and "Seconds:". The Score must be an integer and the line with the highest value is moved to the top and the list is order by descending score.
