What is it
TabAPI is an API that is designed to allow developers make use of the Player Tab List in their plugins. It allows a simple way for Dev's to take control of it on a per-player basis to provide ingame stats, custom tab menus, hud's and more!
Examples

Requirements
This plugin requires Protocollib to function.
For Server Owners
If you are a server owner, then simply select the version that matches your server version and download it. This will allow plugins that use this API to take advantage of the API to change the tab list.
Plugins Using TabAPI
- SuperSpleef - When the New update is released.
- TabConfig - Fully Customizable Tab list!
- McMMO TabSkillz - View your McMMO skills on the tab!
- TabToTheMax - Customizable Tab List!
- More Coming Soon!
Limits
- The minecraft tab list does not support two tabs of the same content. So for example, if you set one square to "test" and anther to "test", only one will be displayed. A workaround for this is you can just add either spaces or color codes to the end to make them unique.
- the updatePlayer function has to clear the entire tab list and resend it due to mc just appending new packets to the end of the list. therefor, only call this functions as needed (ie once a loop is done, not in the loop), otherwise it will end up causing both lag and high bandwidth usage.
- Currently only supports tab list with three columns (dev release issue)
- Currently If no plugin takes control of the tab list, it will show a blank list instead of the default player list (dev release issue)

Posted Mar 1, 2013Can you add TagAPI compatible with this? The variable fillplayers does not work with it or the colors, the list of players does not show up? Or am I doing it wrong? Please tell me

Posted Feb 25, 2013I was wondering if you could add support for spigot, which is a craftbukkit alternative that is much much better than cb, tagapi loads fine this just doesnt.

Posted Feb 22, 2013It'd really help to have the source code to figure out exactly what each method does, yet it is nowhere to be found :/. Please publish it.

Posted Feb 18, 2013It would be awesome to have a little plugin for bungeecoord to see all the running server listed on the tablist with the currently playing user on.

No, this is actually a problem on my part, I need to make sure the player is still online before trying to send the packets. To stop the spam for now you can surround the TabAPI.updatePlayer() with a try catch.

Since installing TabAPI and Malos Listener my server has been having very unexpected craches? (Any Ideas?)
- I Have only one possibly, could it be another Tablist plugin that is counteracting upon yours?
- I am using nametags for the colors, but am going to disable it and use TagAPI, and see what i come up with...
