/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar <player name> <objective>

As told in the title I wanna suggest a idea I scratched my head on the last days when building a custom vanilla map using datapacks.

Show a scoreboard, maybe a custom, only to a certain amount of players, not to a team, so that you can still, if you're running like a vanilla server with staff, normal players, guests, whatever, mainly using the /team feature and a formatting in tab list and chat.

Until now it's only possible to show a scoreboard to a team, so if I wanted to show dudes in the Nether a custom scoreboard with "Location: Nether" or even something like a custom map, I would have to ignore the sorting of players that also runs over the /team command, as told previously.

My idea would be to either kick out the /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar.team.anycolor and then implementing /scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar <player name> <objective> or just to run it both at the same time.

Maybe I'm the only one with this idea, but I think it could come for some people in handy, especially vanilla map makers.

Bye!

    This has been bugging me, I wish I could just display a scoreboard to myself and not the whole server. Also for teams Instead of binding it to a color why not the team name.

    Just use selectors for displaying the scoreboard:

    scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar @a[team=<teamName>] <objective>
    scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar @s <objective>

    My suggested format is similar to how we would add/remove a score from a player.

    That's a neat idea! I hope they'll add this feature in the nearest future (like in 1.22, please, Mojang, see this suggestion). Because now, since the scoreboard was separated into /tag and /team commands, it's truly pointless to limit displaying sidebars to teams only instead of using selectors, like @a[team=<team_id>]. Expand the boundaries of map/server making for those, who cannot code mods/plugins.
