Get highest score from scoreboard

Hello, I'm trying to get the player with the highest score(kills) from the scoreboard, here's my code.

Code:

                        ScoreboardManager manager = Bukkit.getScoreboardManager();
                        Scoreboard board = manager.getNewScoreboard();
                        Objective objective = board.registerNewObjective("Kills", "dummy");
                        objective.setDisplaySlot(DisplaySlot.SIDEBAR);
                        objective.setDisplayName(ChatColor.RED + "Kills");
                        Set<String> playing = plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Arenas." + arena + ".Playing").getKeys(false);
                        for (String inGame : playing) {
                            Score score = objective.getScore(Bukkit.getPlayer(inGame));
                            score.setScore(plugin.playerKills.get(Bukkit.getPlayer(inGame).getName()));
                            Bukkit.getPlayer(inGame).setScoreboard(board);
                        }

 

You would get a list of the scores, then loop through them and save the highest value along with the player that has that score.

 

Staartvin Yes I thought about something like this too... But I am not sure if this is Super-efficient. I think there are better ways so I didn't wrote this. But yes you are right. This is a way.

I'm sure there is a more efficient way, but I'm afraid I don't know.

Got any example code please?

I haven't figured out how to work with the Scoreboard API yet, but it is sort of working with a list of values.
