Tab List Configuration

Since we decided to use TAB plugin by Neznamy, we support almost all the features they have to offer. Below, you can find some commonly used features.

Tab Sorting​

It is possible to sort the tab list by any registered placeholder. If you want to sort the tab list by teams, you will have to change the TAB config. Go to: TAB -> config.yml -> scoreboard-teams and set or add PLACEHOLDER_A_TO_Z:%bw_team% to sorting-types to sort the tab list by teams.

Example Config​

scoreboard-teams:
  enabled: true
  enable-collision: true
  invisible-nametags: false
  anti-override: true
  sorting-types:
  - PLACEHOLDER_A_TO_Z:%bw_team%

Health Behind Player​

There are two methods to accomplish this. The first one would be to use the yellow-number-in-tablist feature of TAB; the second option would be to align the player suffix to the right. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Yellow Number in Tablist​

This feature supports two display types (yellow numbers and hearts). To enable this feature, go to: TAB -> config.yml -> yellow-number-in-tablist, and set enabled to true. After this, you will have to use the correct placeholder to show the player's health. By using %health% it will show the player's health as a health bar. When only the number is required, set the placeholder to 0%health% (note the 0 in front of the placeholder).

Player Suffix​

To use this feature, you will have to change the suffix of players to anything you want (this is not limited to only a health placeholder). After this, you have to change the align-tabsuffix-on-the-right setting in the TAB config. This setting can be found in: TAB -> config.yml -> tablist-name-formatting. Then set align-tabsuffix-on-the-right to true. Make sure to double-check if the tablist-name-formatting feature is enabled.

Multiple-line formatting​

It is possible to add multiple lines to the header and footer of the player list by adding more lines, as shown below. Make sure to add |- on the first row.

Example config​

format-sb-tab-header:
  lobby: |-
    just put anything.
    &bplaying on: &a%bw_server_ip%
    it
    can
    go
    quite
    far 
    down
    And you dont need to use quotes like this: ""

tip

All placeholders that are listed under Global Placeholders are supported.

Tab List Animations​

Scoreboard animations use the animations feature built into the TAB plugin. You can find more information about this feature here. To add animations to your tab list, you will have to add the animation to the animations.yml file, found in the TAB config folder. After this, you can use the animation in the language file by adding the animation name to the format-sb-tab-header or format-sb-tab-footer path. You can also add multiple animations to the header or footer by adding more animations, as shown below. (Make sure to add |- on the first row.)

format-sb-tab-header:
  waiting: |-
    %animation:Welcome%
    %animation:TestAnimation%
    %animation:Rainbow%
    %animation:Scroll%
