How to Make a Money Scoreboard in Minecraft Bedrock Edition
Creating a money scoreboard in Minecraft Bedrock Edition can be a fun and rewarding project. Whether you’re looking to track player wealth in a mini-game or simply want to add a touch of realism to your server, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Understanding Scoreboards
Before diving into the specifics of creating a money scoreboard, it’s important to understand how Minecraft’s scoreboard system works. Scoreboards are used to track various types of data, such as player statistics, game progress, and, in this case, money.
Scoreboards consist of objectives, which are the targets for tracking data, and entries, which are the individual data points. In our case, we’ll be using an objective to track money and entries for each player.
Setting Up the Objective
1. Open the game and select the world where you want to create the scoreboard.
2. Find a suitable location for your scoreboard. This could be near a shop, in a player’s home, or any other place where you want to display the money.
3. Right-click on the ground and select “Create Objective.” Give the objective a name, such as “Money,” and choose a display mode that suits your needs (e.g., “List,” “Sidebar,” or “Headline”).
4. Once the objective is created, you’ll see it appear in the sidebar. This is where the entries for each player will be displayed.
Creating Entries for Players
1. To create an entry for a player, right-click on the objective and select “Edit Objective.” Then, click on “Add Entry” and enter the player’s name.
2. Repeat this process for each player you want to track. You can create as many entries as needed.
Configuring the Scoreboard
1. With the objective and entries created, it’s time to configure the scoreboard. Right-click on the objective and select “Edit Objective” again.
2. In the “Objective” tab, you’ll see a field labeled “Criteria.” This is where you’ll enter the formula to calculate the money for each player.
3. To calculate the money, you’ll need to use the “money” criterion. The formula will look something like this: money={player:}, where “player:” is replaced with the name of the player you want to track.
4. Save the changes and exit the objective editor.
Displaying the Scoreboard
1. With the scoreboard configured, you can now display it in the game. Right-click on the objective and select “Show Objective.” This will add the scoreboard to the sidebar, where you can see the money for each player.
2. If you want to display the scoreboard on the player’s heads, you can use the “/scoreboard objectives setdisplay” command. For example, /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar Money will display the scoreboard on the player’s heads.
Customizing the Scoreboard
1. To customize the scoreboard further, you can use the “/scoreboard players set” command to change the money value for a specific player. For example, /scoreboard players set playerName money 100 will set the money for the player named “playerName” to 100.
2. You can also use the “/scoreboard players reset” command to reset the money for all players to zero.
Conclusion
Creating a money scoreboard in Minecraft Bedrock Edition is a straightforward process that can add a fun and realistic element to your world. By following these steps, you can easily track player wealth and display it in a variety of ways. Happy building!
