![Showcase](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/979ee3380256de6fba8364105c38a1980d154b1a_0.webp) ## ✨ Features - **Custom header & footer** — multi-line, with gradients, RGB colors, and live placeholders - **Player name formatting** — style every name in the tab list (works great with LuckPerms prefixes) - **Sorting** — order players by any placeholder (rank weight, name, ping…) using the vanilla list-order system, no scoreboard-team hacks - **Hidden players** — hide spectators or players matching a placeholder condition (vanish mod support) - **Config profiles** — multiple looks in `config/tabcore/`, switch live with one command; a sleek *modern* preset is included - **Hot reload** — edit the config and apply it in-game; broken configs are rejected with helpful errors while the old one keeps running - **Native [Text Placeholder API](https://placeholders.pb4.eu/) support** — every placeholder from any mod works out of the box - **Truly server-side** — players join with a vanilla client; also works in singleplayer/LAN ## 📦 Installation **Simply place TabCore and [Fabric API](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/fabric-api) into your server's `mods` folder.** Placeholder API is bundled as a normal mod (jar-in-jar) — placeholders registered by your other mods still work, and you can override the bundled version at any time by installing Placeholder API separately. ## ⚙️ Configuration **On first startup, TabCore generates:** ``` config/ └── tabcore/ ├── default.yml └── modern.yml ``` Every `.yml` file inside `config/tabcore/` acts as a separate profile, making it easy to create different layouts for different servers or occasions. ## ⌨️ Commands | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/tablist reload` | reload the active profile | | `/tablist profile` | list available profiles | | `/tablist profile ` | switch profile (saved across restarts) | | `/tablist version` | show the mod version | Commands require **OP Level 2** by default, or the permission nodes `tabcore.command.reload` / `tabcore.command.profile` / `tabcore.command.version` when using a permissions mod such as LuckPerms. ## ❓ FAQ ### Do players need to install TabCore? No. TabCore is completely server-side. Players can connect without installing the mod. ### Which placeholders can I use? Any placeholder registered through **Text Placeholder API** — built-ins like `%player:ping%`, `%server:tps%`, `%server:online%`, plus placeholders from compatible mods such as LuckPerms and many others. See the [placeholder docs](https://placeholders.pb4.eu/). ### Does TabCore support MiniMessage-style formatting? Yes. You can use gradients, RGB colors, formatting, and other MiniMessage-compatible tags. ## Why TabCore? TabCore is designed specifically for **modern Fabric servers**, providing a powerful, configurable tab list without requiring client-side mods. TabCore does **one thing well** — no scoreboards, no nametags, no chat formatting. Text parsing is cached, placeholders are evaluated on configurable intervals, and updates are batched into single vanilla packets. Whether you're running a small SMP or a large public network, **TabCore** delivers a clean, modern solution while remaining lightweight and performant.
