What Scoreboard is for

Scoreboard is a system that stores a "number" tied to each player — used to build point systems, in-game currency, death counts, or state tracking for the Execute command to check conditions against

  1. Create an objective first, for example named kills with criteria playerKillCount
  2. Set it to display in the sidebar so everyone sees scores in real time
  3. If you use the dummy criteria, set/add/subtract the score yourself with commands

Bedrock only supports the dummy criteria — if you pick the Bedrock edition, the system automatically switches to dummy and warns you

Worked examples

The examples below come out of the same generator as the form above, so the commands and explanations always match what the tool produces. Copy one and adjust it from there

1. Create a kill-count objective

Every scoring system starts by creating an objective; the playerKillCount criterion makes the game count for you

/scoreboard objectives add kills playerKillCount "จำนวนการฆ่า"

What it does Will create an objective named "kills" to track scores (criteria: playerKillCount), displayed as "จำนวนการฆ่า".

2. Show the score on the sidebar

Creating an objective shows nothing by itself — you must assign it a display slot, and sidebar is the usual pick

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar kills

What it does Will display the score of objective "kills" on the sidebar.

3. Add points to a player

Used with a dummy objective the game does not track itself — you add and subtract from command blocks instead

/scoreboard players add @p kills 1

What it does Will add 1 to the "kills" score of the nearest player.

How this command differs by edition and version

This is the first example above, run through every edition and version this tool supports. Versions that produce the same result share a row

Java Edition 1.21.5 and up Java Edition 1.20.5 - 1.21.4 Java Edition 1.13 - 1.20.4 (legacy NBT)
/scoreboard objectives add kills playerKillCount "จำนวนการฆ่า"
Bedrock Edition (stable)
/scoreboard objectives add kills dummy "จำนวนการฆ่า"
  • Bedrock only supports the dummy criteria, so dummy was used automatically
