- β‘ Lightweight β no commands, configs, or permissions
- π Smart dependency check β automatically disables if ProtocolLib is missing
- π Console logging β startup and shutdown messages for easy debugging

- ProtocolLib
Installation
- Download the latest release of NoTabList.
- Place the
.jarfile into your serverβs/pluginsfolder. - Ensure ProtocolLib is also installed.
- Restart your server β the tab list will now be completely hidden.
Notes
- This plugin disables the entire tab list globally.
- There are no configuration options by design β it just works.
- Tested on Paper 1.21.5.
