🤖 FakeTab AI — Next-Gen AI & Realistic Fake TAB Players

FakeTab AI is an enterprise-grade Paper/Spigot/Purpur/Folia plugin that adds ultra-realistic, AI-driven and smart-fallback fake players to your server's TAB list. Designed for server owners who want a vibrant, living multiplayer community without sacrificing performance, causing TPS lag, or needing expensive API keys.

Built for extreme realism, sub-millisecond network performance, and zero-setup resilience.

🌐 Universal Compatibility & Architecture (v2.6.0+)

FakeTab AI v2.6.0 features a completely decoupled platform abstraction engine (SchedulerUtil), delivering 100% native compatibility across the modern server ecosystem:

Server Platform	Native Support	Scheduling Implementation
Folia (Multi-Threaded)	✅ Native	`GlobalRegionScheduler`, `EntityScheduler`, & `AsyncScheduler`
Paper	✅ Native	Async PacketEvents Protocol & PlayerInfoUpdate
Purpur	✅ Native	Full Paper/Purpur API enhancements
Spigot	✅ Native	Resilient synchronous fallback execution
CraftBukkit	✅ Native	Standard Bukkit API compliance

*Tested and verified across *Minecraft 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20.x, and 1.21.x (including 1.21.4+).

✨ Flagship Capabilities & Killer Features

🧠 Zero-Setup Smart Offline Engine: Works immediately out-of-the-box with zero API keys required! If AI keys are blank or offline, built-in contextual fallback engines dynamically handle greetings, Lifesteal/PvP chatter, mining callouts, trading, and DMs.
🌅 Dynamic Organic Activity Cycles (/faketab schedule): Simulates realistic player count curves based on time-of-day. Fakes connect during peak evening hours and naturally log off during late night with staggered delays.
💰 Economy Bridge & Payment Simulation: Real players can check bot balances (/bal <fake>) or send payments (/pay <fake> <amount>), triggering grateful replies and simulated economy transactions.
🌐 Multi-Provider AI Routing: Seamlessly integrates Google Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and Groq with automated request tiering, quota failover, and rate-limit auto-cooldown.
🧠 Conversational & Friendship Memory: Fake players remember past interactions with individual real players, forming natural friendships and contextual replies over time.
💬 Human-Like Typing & Slang Engine: Simulates authentic typing latency, natural Hinglish / English slang, and realistic human typing variations.
⚡ Zero-Entity Network Level: Created purely via PacketEvents protocol packets (PlayerInfoUpdate). Zero entities in the world, zero tick overhead, and 100% lag-free.
📡 Multiplayer Server List Ping Spoofing: Accurately includes online fake players in the server's ping count and multiplayer hover player sample.
