SimpleScore Template

Copy-paste Ascension sidebar for SimpleScore v4

AscensionCore ships a built-in sidebar, but it is off by default so SimpleScore can own the right-hand scoreboard. This page matches the layout used on the reference server.

Before you start

RequirementNotes
PlaceholderAPIParses %ascension_*% placeholders
AscensionCore + AscensionShadowsRank, mana, army lines
SimpleScore v4v3 configs are not compatible — use the format below

Disable Ascension's built-in sidebar

In plugins/AscensionCore/config.yml:

sidebar:
  enabled: false

Restart the server (or reload configs). If you still see an Ascension Protocol sidebar with no shadow names, Ascension's built-in board is still enabled.

Avoid duplicate sidebars

If you run TAB, keep TAB's scoreboard disabled and let SimpleScore handle the right sidebar. Only one plugin should draw it.

Copy-paste template

Add this block to plugins/SimpleScore/scoreboards.yml (merge with your existing file if needed):

ascension:
  titles: '&5&lAscension'
  scores:
    10: '&8&m─────────────'
    9: '&7Rank %ascension_rank_sidebar%'
    8: '&7XP &f%ascension_xp% &8(&f%ascension_xp_progress%%&8)'
    7: '&7Mana &f%ascension_mana%&7/&f%ascension_mana_max% &8[&f%ascension_mana_percent%%&8]'
    6: '&7Army &f%ascension_shadow_active%&7/&f%ascension_shadow_active_max%'
    5: '%ascension_shadow_active_line_1%'
    4: '%ascension_shadow_active_line_2%'
    3: '%ascension_shadow_active_line_3%'
    2: '&7Store &f%ascension_shadow_count%&7/&f%ascension_shadow_capacity%'
    1: '&7SP &f%ascension_skill_points% &8| &7Gates &f%ascension_gate_clears%'
    0: '&8&m─────────────'
  defaultHideNumber: true
  defaultRenderEvery: 20
  conditions: []

Then assign the ascension scoreboard to players in SimpleScore's config.yml (default scoreboard / world rules — see SimpleScore configuration).

Reload: /sb reload

The same file lives in the repo at deploy/server-setup/simplescore-ascension-sidebar.yml for copy/deploy.

What each line shows

PlaceholderExample output
%ascension_rank_sidebar%Colored rank label (e.g. [C] Licensed Hunter)
%ascension_xp%Total XP
%ascension_xp_progress%Progress % toward next rank
%ascension_mana% / %ascension_mana_max%Current / max mana
%ascension_mana_percent%Mana bar %
%ascension_shadow_active% / %ascension_shadow_active_max%Summoned / max army size
%ascension_shadow_active_line_1%_3%Per-shadow row: name, mode, archetype (blank if empty)
%ascension_shadow_count% / %ascension_shadow_capacity%Stored shadows / storage cap
%ascension_skill_points%Unspent skill points
%ascension_gate_clears%Lifetime gate clears

Summon shadows to populate the three army lines (e.g. • Igris | Follow | Ant King).

Compact alternative — replace the three shadow_active_line_* rows with one line:

    5: '&7Out: &f%ascension_shadow_active_names%'

Test placeholders

/papi parse me %ascension_rank_sidebar%
/papi parse me %ascension_shadow_active_line_1%

Troubleshooting

IssueFix
Raw %ascension_% textInstall PlaceholderAPI; restart server
Two sidebars / flickersidebar.enabled: false in AscensionCore; disable TAB scoreboard
Shadow lines always blankAscensionShadows enabled; summon at least one shadow
Wrong colorsSimpleScore uses & codes; Ascension placeholders already return &-formatted rank colors
