TAB is an all-in-one plugin for displaying information in various places, which aims to outperform all similar plugins in terms of features, compatibility and performance.
The compact configuration allows you to get the plugin to work the way you want regardless of how simple or complex you want it to be or how experienced you are.
The default configuration already contains useful values and examples to give you a better understanding and get you started quickly with instant results.
The extensive wiki answers any of your questions.
Official support by me is no longer provided to free users due to limited time and extreme inefficiency (see provided services for more info).
However, you can join this fresh new community discord made by a nice person who promises to help everyone with all plugins, including TAB.
Before you consider requiring assistance, check out the wiki first. It will answer any questions you may have and is also constantly getting improved.

Before we get to TAB changes, let's go over Minecraft 26.2 changes that affect TAB. We have some excellent news and some slightly bad news.
* The bug in belowname objective introduced in 26.1 causing all named entities to have belowname visible was fixed. Not only that, but now it no longer appears on player entities that do not have a score set. This means 2 things. First, NPCs will no longer have any belowname forced when the feature is enabled. Second, it is now possible to hide belowname on individual players. See TAB changes below to see how this is implemented.
* Now it's time for bad news. We are all hoping Mojang will one day allow RGB names in the nametag. However, they seem to have taken the opposite path - it no longer supports magic codes, only the 16 legacy colors codes now.
TAB changes:
* Added support for Bukkit 26.2 and removed support for 1.9.x, 1.10.x, 1.11.x, 1.13.x, 1.14.x and 1.15.x. While they may sound like a lot, this change only affects 4 out of 30000 servers that updated TAB at least once this year.
* Updated Fabric and NeoForge to 26.2. 26.1.x is no longer supported.
* Performance improvements
* Resolved console warnings on Java 26+
* Belowname has received a new functionality in accordance with the new 26.2 functionality. When fancy-value evaluates to an empty string, the entire line will be hidden for 26.2+ viewers. If you want to take advantage of this and support both <26.2 and 26.2+ and don't want to show empty value to <26.2 players (because you want to hide it for 26.2+), but the original value instead, this is a bit more complicated. See belowname wiki page for a new example how to do this.
* Colors from placeholders returned by placeholder-api on Fabric are now properly displayed and no longer thrown away
* Improved dump command output
* Fixed PlaceholderAPI placeholders sometimes breaking on /btab reload with latest TAB-Bridge
* Added tag resolver to MiniMessage parser for displaying skin by texture when having MiniMessage support enabled.
* Added support for "*" wildcard and regex into per world playerlist world groups just like global playerlist supports it.
* Scoreboard and bossbar custom toggle commands now pass all arguments to the main command
* Implemented disable-condition forwarding to proxy-support
* Fixed last color detection in tagprefix not noticing magic codes after using &r. Now with 26.2 no longer supporting those it probably doesn't matter though.
One more technical change at the end. Since version 6.0.2, it is no longer possible to support everything in one jar due to a bug in Paper 1.20.5 - 1.21.4 that crashes when a jar contains classes compiled with Java 24+, which was needed by modded platform. Now, it is also required by Paper 26.2. This means that splitting jars into "Vanilla" and "Modded" is not possible anymore. As such, there was a change and now there is the main jar with all classes (without any name suffix) and another jar called "Paper 1.20.5 - 1.21.4". Use the correct one. This pattern will follow indefinitely for all future updates.

With the introduction of Java 25 into the jar (needed by modded platforms), it is no longer possible to support all desired platforms and versions in the same jar. This is because Paper's plugin remapper on versions 1.20.5 - 1.21.4 only supports up to Java 23 (using a higher Java version does not solve this). As such, 2 jars will be provided from now on. First jar with everything included, called "Fabric, NeoForge", which can be used everywhere except Paper 1.20.5 - 1.21.4. Second jar without modded platforms, allowing support for Paper 1.20.5 - 1.21.4, called "Vanilla".

Key changes:
* Added 26.1 support on Bukkit
* Removed support for MC versions 1.7.2 - 1.7.9, 1.8 - 1.8.4, 1.9 - 1.9.2, 1.13, 1.16 - 1.16.3 and 1.18 on Bukkit as previously announced. In case you missed it, you can read more about this and future plans on removing support for MC versions at https://gist.github.com/NEZNAMY/36786dfb61858277e0e524dd7dd0d9c5
* Removed /tab debug command and added a new /tab dump command, which fully replaces it and provides much more information
Other changes:
* Performance improvements
* Fixed error when using scoreboard commands immediately on join
* Added API method for creating a Layout with less than 80 slots
* Added API method for creating a fixed slot with custom ping value as string
* Added API method for replacing scoreboard's lines entirely
* Fixed tablist name formatting breaking on server switch
* Fixed bossbar duplicating on server switch on Velocity
* Fixed error on Folia
* Fixed tablist name formatting and layout not working correctly on Forge and NeoForge
* Added MySQL driver into the plugin to make it available on Velocity as well (another inclusion of massive dependencies for a few people that threefolds the jar size, yay)
* Massively improved compatibility of per world playerlist with vanish plugins
Mojang added a brand new bug into the belowname feature in 26.1 that makes it unusable. For more information visit https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/wiki/Feature-guide:-Belowname#261-visible-on-all-entities.
Modded platforms:
Mojang's removal of obfuscation has a massive impact on modding tools, which were still not updated for 26.1 support. Even after this is done, we will need to wait for the mods that TAB hooks into to update to the new class naming. This may take a while and it's not worth delaying the Bukkit to wait for this. As such, modded platforms are staying on 1.21.11 for now.

With TAB now supporting all platforms, especially modded ones, it is not realistic to support all MC versions in one jar, so TAB only supports the latest MC versions(s). However, a new issue template was added to github issues, where you can request a backport of latest TAB version for your desired MC version (if it does not exist already or is very old).

This update contains 2 major changes:
* Unlimited nametag mode feature and bossbar for 1.8 (which used wither entity) got removed from the plugin as previously announced here.
* On Velocity, the plugin no longer uses bridge plugin to send scoreboard packets. Instead, a new plugin called VelocityScoreboardAPI was created, which will do this job much better with a much better performance.
* If you are using TAB-Bridge with TAB on proxy, update bridge to version 6.0.0.

As MC 1.21.2 is approaching, this is the final update for 4.x branch. From now on, only 5.x versions will be released, which will no longer have unlimited nametag mode and bossbar for 1.8 servers.
This was originally planned to come with MC 1.22 rather than 1.21.2, however, Mojang has decided to rework entity packets in 1.21.2 and I don't see the point in adding support for it just to remove the whole feature soon after.

04.11.2023 · 578 downloads
Added support for latest BungeeCord.
Please note that the latest changes introduced a packet encoding bug in features TAB offers that causes <1.13 players to be disconnected immediately on join. This bug is inherited by forks as well, including Waterfall and possibly further forks as well.
Considering the bungee update didn't add anything meaningful other than support for some 1.20.3 snapshot, it is better to stay on an older version (BungeeCord #1759 or lower, Waterfall #548 or lower) until this is fixed in BungeeCord.
Disabling the plugin for <1.13 players to avoid the disconnect would be a bad solution for many reasons.

Fixed various issues on 1.20.2 BungeeCord.
If you use it, and updated your backend to 1.20.2, don't forget to update bridge as well, because it compensates for a new bug introduced in bukkit 1.20.2 causing plugin messages to not be sent on join.
I hope with this the plugin is now finally stable for 1.20.2 players on BungeeCord. The reason why it took so long is because there are tons of bugs/issues in server software out of my control, which has to be compensated for, such as:
* On Bukkit 1.20.2, sending plugin messages on join may cause them to not be sent. God knows why. It was also very non-deterministic - trying the same thing several times gave different results. At the beginning, it worked totally fine for me. After making "some changes", it no longer worked. Not only on that test server instance, but not even on a clean installation anymore. I had to figure out which part of server code was blocking it and force an aggressive override, hopefully not breaking anything because of it.
* BungeeCord is in maintenance mode for a decade now and only does the most urgent things (usually just adding support for new MC versions). Tons of problems were introduced in 1.20.2 with no clear interest in resolving them. Asking for a fix barely has success, even if you open a github issue that clearly describes the problem and suggest multiple possible solutions, md5 acts like he sees no problem. Sending packets to players is considered "not an API" and any bug reports featuring sending packets are closed, without resolving it or adding the API. What's worse, even using the API the way it's advertised will throw errors.
While I thought not adding any more features and just fixing internal bugs (which will eventually have to get all fixed as they can't keep coming forever), it looks like adding support for new MC versions is going to be much more painful than expected and may end sooner than expected. I am not interested in begging people to fix bugs in their software that's out of my control, but prevents my plugins from working correctly.
I would like everyone to understand that by no law because I wrote a few lines of code I am now forced to maintain it for the rest of my life, for free, instead of doing things I enjoy, making software for a game I haven't played in a decade, for servers I never heard of, owned by people I have never met and never will who just look to make money off of plugins by getting the developers to configure their own plugins for them to then put them on their server and then sell ranks. Easy money. Or not?

Added 1.20.2 client support to BungeeCord (requires newer BungeeCord build with a new method added).
27.09.2023 · 638 downloads
Added support for new Spigot 1.20.2 build that uses mojang mappings for fields and methods (forks will probably follow as well).
Note on BungeeCord: There are still no news on 1.20.2 client support on BungeeCord. While the issue linked in previous update got closed, it got falsely closed - nothing was fixed. Shall a fix be introduced and plugin require an update to take advatange of the fix, plugin will be updated.
22.09.2023 · 739 downloads
Added 1.20.2 support.
Please note that the plugin currently won't work for 1.20.2 players on BungeeCord due to an issue that's currently being investigated. There is currently no feasible solution available on the plugin's end, so we will most likely need to wait for a fix on BungeeCord side. If any progress on this is made and it will involve a change to the plugin, an update will be made for 1.20.2 client support on BungeeCord.
