Styled Sidebars

This mod allows you to create dynamic and server side sidebars (using scoreboard) with
all functionality you need! Supports static, scrolling (with looping) and paged sidebars
with full support for Text Placeholder API and compatible mods.

  "default_style": "default",

This mod allows having multiple styles, that can be selected by players (just put them in ./config/styled-sidebars/styles/ and use /styledsidebars reload command)
Formatting uses Simplified Text Format for which docs you can find here.

  ],
  
  // Lines used for single page sidebars. Only present when there are no pages
  "lines": [
    // Simple line, always displayed (supports formatting like rest)
    "...",
    // Logical line, allows to hide them behind permissions/etc instead of always displaying
    {
      "value": [
        // Simple lines, doesn't support logical ones!
        "..."
      ],
      // Requirement for display, same system as style one
      "require": {/* ... */}
    }
  ],
  // Used for paged sidebars. Will change page every X updates (specified above)
  "pages": [
