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)
Graphics and Page design by Malo
This plugin does NOT change the tab on its own. You must make your own plugin or Download one that supports it. Please do not comment saying it doesn't work.

Posted Jun 6, 2013Please develop this plugin with Java 6. CraftBukkit uses Java 6 and so anyone using Java 6 can't use this plugin.

Posted May 8, 2013This does not work for the latest bukkit dev version. I even tried it on spigot because the dev runs his server with that so I decided to try it but still says its not up to date in the console :P

The idea is for plugins such as TabAPI to catch PlayerLoggedOutException directly, probably by cleaning up after the player. It's just the easiest way for ProtocolLib to inform a plugin that a player has logged out and the packet has been rejected, without breaking compatibility.
So - just wait for TabAPI to be updated.

Posted May 4, 2013Would anyone know why I recieve this error in the console whenever a player joins and the tab attempts to set and update?
If you need the whole error from the console: http:pastebin.com/Sm1ka2Y1
This is for the protocolLib, the error comes from there, but it's used by this plugin, though, so should I actually head over to their project page to seek help? I haven't had any other issues with the protocolLib plugin except from this plugin.

Posted May 4, 2013@sammyben I assume it's because you don't have the max players set to the correct amount? Try setting it to 60 in your server properties file. Does this help?
