TAB Plugin for Minecraft

Setting up a Minecraft server can be a challenging task, as there are many customization options. One of them is the tab list, which provides players with information

Regardless of your reason, working on this can be problematic. Because of this, there is a plugin simply called TAB that gives you all the necessary tools to make it real

Server Installation

Before starting, make sure the Minecraft server is running on Spigot, Paper, or another suitable plugin type. This can be achieved by selecting any of them in the Game File area

1. Go to [TAB on Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/tab-1-8-x-1-17-x.57806/), then

click the "Download Now" button.

2. Save this somewhere easily accessible on your computer for later.

3. Then, head to your Holy server panel and click on "FTP File Access".

4. Continue to the plugins directory and press the "Upload" button in the upper left corner.

5. Drag and drop the downloaded file into the corresponding area.

6. Wait for it to reach 100%, then restart the server from the main panel.

TAB Customization

When joining the Minecraft server, players will notice a new tab list with generic text. This shows the potential of the plugin, but that's not all. With this in mind, we'll review con

There are also several in-game commands that can be used for this process, requiring OP permissions. However, the easiest and most efficient way to edit the tab list is through https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/wiki) for more details on configuration.

Player List

Inside the main config.yml file, you will see a header and footer for the tab list.

This is the main place for customization, as you can add lines with any text you want. Use color codes and spacing as needed in this section, then click

Each line will start with a dash and be enclosed in single quotes, containing the text. When you are done editing this area, run the /tab reload command in the game or from the console

Animations

In cases where you want to further customize the tab list, consider using animated text. These are predefined in the animations.yml file, allowing you to be creative. For example,

There is even the possibility of using HEX colors for Minecraft servers 1.16 or higher, requiring this format: & # 000000, without spaces. Determine the interval for each line change, then

Placeholders

For server owners who want to present more information to their players, the use of official TAB placeholders can achieve this. These include the user's name, per

We encourage you to check the [official wiki](https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/wiki) to learn about all of them, but key examples are player, ping, online, world, time, date, and displayname. Use them in your headers or footers, similar to animated text.

Make sure to save and reload the plugin for the changes to take effect.

Usernames

Another unique feature of this plugin is the ability to add rank prefixes, even connecting to LuckPerms or other group managers. This helps organize the tab list according to

These aspects of the TAB plugin can be toggled, but generally remain enabled on most Minecraft servers. Access the groups.yml file to start editing the pr

Scoreboard

Instead of only editing the tab list, you have the option to enable and create scoreboards.

These appear on the right side of a player's screen, primarily for minigames or other modes. This is extremely similar to the tab list configurations, as you

This is found in the main config.yml file, requiring it to be enabled first. Make sure to do this before editing its section, as otherwise nothing would appear in the game. Additionally
