Customizing a Minecraft server can feel overwhelming, especially when polishing the tab list—one of the first things players see. A well-designed tab list shows key info like website, ranks, ping, player count, and more, giving your server a polished, professional look. For simpler servers, it’s also the perfect place to add personal flair.
TAB is a powerful plugin that makes tab list customization effortless. It includes animations, placeholders, scoreboards, rank prefixes, and many visual effects to make your server stand out.

Download TAB from Spigot.
Upload the .jar to your server’s /plugins folder.
Restart the server. Works with Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and similar builds.

TAB’s configuration files are found in /plugins/TAB.Key files include:
config.yml — Edit the tab list header/footer, enable scoreboards.
