Topper -----
Another leaderboard plugin with better features and performance- Run all update logic in a repeated task instead of making one task for one logic
- Properly save the updated value to the storage
- Correctly display UUID instead of name in top_key
- Make some non-breaking changes in the API
For a few months, I've been working with some servers to develop an addon for group leaderboards. This is similar to Topper, but instead of getting values for individual players, this will get values for groups (in particular, the owners of the groups).
There will be more information about the addon in my Discord server, so make sure to join the server.
For now, here are some images to show the addon in action (credit to @xNekio ):

- Add MiniPlaceholders hook
Value Provider
Placeholder - Optimize the update task so that it will wait for the current call to be finished before executing the next call
- Allow format setting in top_rank query
It's similar to top_value and value
- Properly set default values in Database Config
- Make some non-breaking changes in the API
- Correct the behavior of Reversed Leaderboard
It should now properly reverse the leaderboard (show the player with the lowest value first) when you set it to true - Add a synchronization check in the Data Entry so that the value is always the latest
- Make some non-breaking changes in the API
- Stop throwing errors when the holder is for online players only
- Make non-breaking changes in the API
- Add top_size query
This query shows the size of the entries in the Holder - Add a workaround to handle formatted values
Check wiki - Add a way to format the values from queries as decimal and time
Check wiki - Add a tutorial on how to make a simple playtime leaderboard
Check wiki - Make some breaking changes in the API
- Add some locks in SQLite to ensure the transactions are in the correct order
This is the only way to fix some synchronization issues in SQLite as it's single-threaded by default.
You can use other file-based storage types like FLAT, YAML or JSON, or setup a MYSQL database as it supports multi-threaded properly.
- Utilize transaction-based saving when saving the data
This is hugely helpful for those who use SQL for the storage - Make some internal changes in the API related to Data Storage
- Change the storage codebase to reduce unnecessary tasks
- Use INSERT OR IGNORE and UPDATE in the original SQLite to support old versions of SQLite
- Ensure data integrity when stopping the server
- Remove the config migration from 2.X
For those who still use 2.X, follow this tutorial to migrate your config to Topper 3 - Add an improved SQLITE storage type named NEW-SQLITE
This improves the saving task by using the new UPSERT statement provided by new versions of SQLITE
This is only for servers with updated SQLITE (probably Minecraft 1.12.2 and later) - Fix an issue when updating values from Placeholder Value Provider
This ensures that the task is still continued even if an error occurs
This is a long-waited update of Topper that consists of improvements and decision changes. Also, Timely Leaderboard was finished as a separated plugin. It's called TimedTopper, and you can check it here.
- Add a new and solid wiki
You can check the wiki here - Add a config migrator from 2.X
You can check the instruction here - Rework major parts of the project to be more modular and useful for other projects
The Topper Project is now not just for leaderboards, but the plugin still is - Remove Top Signs and Skulls
They were moved to my new plugin called VarBlocks - Remove Formatters
You should instead use the Formatter expansion - Rework the update and saving tasks to be a bit more reliable
- Mark PlaceholderAPI as a soft dependency
You don't have to install PlaceholderAPI to use Topper
- Hide all placeholder exceptions by default
They are still there, and there is an option to enable that when reporting issues
- Add JSON storage type
- Add Value Provider for Player Statistic
A while ago, I pushed an note about removing Formatters, Top Signs & Skulls in the 3.0.0 update (You can check here). I also noted that I would make a separate plugin for displaying not just top values, but any placeholders in Signs and Skulls.
And now, that plugin is finished. It's called VarBlocks and you can check it here.
I'll make an auto migration feature in the 3.0.0 update of Topper to convert all settings to VarBlocks. The feature would be removed after the update, so if you already set Top Signs or Skulls, 3.0.0 is the only version you can migrate the settings.
You can also try VarBlocks yourself and manually replace Top Signs & Skulls to the new plugin if you can't wait for the update or just want to try it.

I'm planning to remove Formatters, Top Signs and Top Skulls to focus my time on the main purpose of the project.
I'm also thinking of making those as a separated free plugin, so that you can display various values from PlaceholderAPI, not just values from Topper.
Check the link here for more details, and provide your opinion about it

I'm working on a paid addon for Topper to make timely leaderboards (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.). The progress is good so far, and it's on the testing phase.
If you want to try out the addon before it gets released, join my Discord server and request a tester role. Note that I only accept at most 10 testers.
The addon is expected to be released soon in the upcoming weeks, but since it has to pass the review phase, the time would be longer.
Anyways, here is a short video showing a portion of the addon.

- Disable PaperMC's Plugin Remapper for this plugin on 1.20.5+
The plugin doesn't use any hacky stuff like NMS or packets, so it's already supported without "remapping" - Make changes in the API
- Make changes in the API
I'm working on an addon for daily/weekly/month leaderboards. It would be a paid one and will be released soon when it's ready.
Expect more updates similar to this.
Expect more updates similar to this.
- Make changes in the API
- Add configurable database properties
- Make changes in the API
- Switch the major parts to MineLib
- Reduce the file size
- Make sure the config are generated in the intended order
- Add [LENIENT] flag
Use to ignore errors when parsing placeholders
Only use this if you are sure that the errors are not critical
- Update dependencies
- Add a logger to log exceptions when parsing placeholders
Since some users report to us that the placeholder is not working without knowing why, so we add a logger to spam their terminal if there are exceptions or they did something wrong with the settings
- Update dependencies
- Fix a scheduler error when using YAML in a Folia server
- Update HSCore to its latest version
- Move null-display-name & null-display-value to formatters
It's more like a personal choice, since I feel that the display should depend on the formatter instead of making it one for all boards - Fix incorrect usage of configured values in some features
- Remove old migration code
- Integrate Scheduler on Block update
Make sure it works on Folia when it's ready - Make a lot of internal API changes
As a library...
This is just me doing the "challenge" to integrate Folia into my plugins.
I spent my morning updating HSCore to support Folia's Scheduler.
In the future, they may add backward support to Bukkit's Scheduler, or make a wrapper library (like what I've done in my HSCore).
I don't know what will happen. We will see about that.
For now, you can use this plugin in Folia.

- Update HSCore
- Rework some parts of the plugin to make it more expandable as a storage library
- Remove metrics option
bStats already has that option - Correct skull permission
From now on, I'll link the download link to my GitHub repository for better continuation on delivering updates.
For those who use free hosting websites that have to request a direct download for them to add to your server, I'm sorry but this has to be stopped. You can switch to another free hosting that allows you to add any plugins, or buy a paid hosting (VPS, dedicated server, etc.).
