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.


🔧 Installation

  • Download TAB from Spigot.

  • Upload the .jar to your server’s /plugins folder.

  • Restart the server. Works with Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and similar builds.


🎨 Customizing TAB

TAB’s configuration files are found in /plugins/TAB.Key files include:

  • config.yml — Edit the tab list header/footer, enable scoreboards.

  • animations.yml — Create animated text (supports HEX on 1.16+).

  • groups.yml — Add rank prefixes synced with LuckPerms.

Use /tab reload to apply changes instantly.


⭐ Features You Can Add

  • Animated text for dynamic headers and footers.

  • Placeholders such as %player%, %ping%, %online%, %world%, %date%.

  • Rank prefixes synced with permission plugins.

  • Scoreboards on the right side of the screen with stats, info, or minigame data.


⚠️ Quick Tips

  • If changes don’t appear, check formatting and reload the plugin.

  • For external placeholders, install PlaceholderAPI and download the needed expansions.

  • HEX colors only work on 1.16+.


TAB gives your server a sleek, modern identity with a fully personalized tab list, scoreboards, and animated visuals—making your community experience more immersive and memorable.
