Placeholders

You can use these placeholders anywhere in your config:

• %max_online% - Maximum player slots
• %player_name% - Your username
• %tps% - Server TPS (ticks per second)

• %worlds% - Number of loaded worlds
• %time% - Current server time
• %date% - Current server date

Customizing Your TAB

1. Open the config.yml file in your server's mod config folder

2. Edit the tablist section:

   • header - Text shown at the top of the player list
   • footer - Text shown at the bottom
   • columns - How many columns to display players in (1-4)
   • sort_by - How to sort players (RANK, ALPHABETICAL, PING)

3. Use <gradient:#color1:#color2>Your Text</gradient> for animated colors!

Customizing the Scoreboard

1. In config.yml, find the scoreboard section
2. Change title to your desired sidebar title
3. Add up to 15 lines under lines
4. Use placeholders to show dynamic information

Setting Up Ranks

In the ranks section of config.yml, you can define:

• Priority - Higher numbers = shown first in the list
• Prefix/Suffix - Text added before/after player names
• Below-Name - Text shown under players in the world

Tips & Tricks

• Test gradients: Try <gradient:#ff0000:#00ff00>Cool Text</gradient> for a red-to-green fade
• Multiple header/footer lines: Add more lines to the lists for multi-line displays
• Hide the scoreboard by default: Set default_visible: false in the scoreboard config
• Disable features: Set enabled: false in any section you don't want to use

Known Limitations

• Player ping display is currently unavailable due to API limitations
• Entity count in CPU stats is not available in this version
• The 'U' key binding for TAB display requires additional client-side support
