Playtime Leaderboard

This will guide you on how to create an unreliable playtime leaderboard for your server using the built-in Statistic Value Provider and format the value using Value Display.

Add the Holder

SpigotMC

Open the config.yml file and add the following holder:

holders:
  playtime:
    type: statistic
    statistic: PLAY_ONE_MINUTE # Or PLAY_ONE_TICK if your server is running on 1.12 or below

FabricMC

Open the config.json file and add the following holder:

{
  "holders": {
    "playtime": {
      "type": "statistic",
      "statistic": "minecraft:play_time"
    }
  }
}

This will create a holder named playtime that shows the total playtime of a player in ticks.

But the value is in ticks, which is not human-readable. So, we need to format it. Add the following line:

SpigotMC

holders:
  playtime:
    type: statistic
    statistic: PLAY_ONE_MINUTE
    line: "&7[&b{index}&7] &b{name} &7- &b{value_time:pattern=HH:mm:ss&type=duration&unit=ticks}"

FabricMC

{
  "holders": {
    "playtime": {
      "type": "statistic",
      "statistic": "minecraft:play_time",
      "line": "<gray>[<blue>{index}<gray>] <blue>{name} <gray>- <blue>{value_time:pattern=HH:mm:ss&type=duration&unit=ticks}"
    }
  }
}

We added the line setting to the holder and override the default line. The {value_time:pattern=HH:mm:ss&type=duration&unit=ticks} will format the value to a human-readable time format.

Now when you save and restart the server, you should see the playtime leaderboard in the /gettop playtime command.

Display the Leaderboard

We will display it in a hologram

Here is an example of a hologram that displays the top 5 players in the leaderboard:
