FakePlayers

is a lightweight, high-performance plugin designed for Minecraft 1.21.1+ that allows server owners to simulate an active community. Whether you're a new server looking to jumpstart growth or a veteran admin wanting to fine-tune your server's appearance, FakePlayers provides a seamless, "ghost-free" experience.

Key Features

• Dynamic Player Count: Instantly updates your server’s online count (e.g., 1/20 becomes 15/20) on the multiplayer server list.
• Hover List: When players hover over your server's player count, they see the actual names of your "Fake Players" alongside real ones!
• Tab List Support: Fully integrated with ProtocolLib. Fake players appear in the Tab list with customizable names, making the world feel alive.
• Zero-Rejoin Updates: Change the amount of fake players or toggle settings on the fly. Changes are pushed to all online clients instantly without anyone needing to reconnect.
• Admin Commands & Autocomplete: Full Tab-completion support for all commands. No need to memorize complex syntax.
• Intelligent Naming: Using a pool of names? If you set the amount higher than your name list, the plugin automatically generates unique variations (e.g., MinerMax_1, MinerMax_2) to prevent Tab list conflicts.
