Minecraft Scoreboard Command Generator
Scoreboards drive most command-pack logic, and the syntax splits across two subtrees: objectives and players. Pick the criterion, the display slot and the operation here so the objective you create is the one your later commands can actually read.
- objectives add, modify, setdisplay and remove
- players set, add, remove, operation, enable and reset
- Criteria and render type, including hearts and integer

How do I create a scoreboard objective?
/scoreboard objectives add <name> <criterion> [display] creates it. The criterion (dummy, health, a stat, a custom trigger) decides what it tracks; dummy is the usual choice for values you set yourself from commands.
How do I show a scoreboard on the sidebar?
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar <name> puts it on the right of the screen; belowName and list are the other slots. Only one objective can occupy each slot at a time.
How do I add to a player score with commands?
/scoreboard players add <target> <objective> <n> increases it, set overwrites it, and operation does maths between scores. These player subcommands are how most command-pack logic keeps state.
