ZTab

# ztab `ztab` is a Paper plugin that improves the TAB list experience with animated header and footer text, custom player list formatting, and built-in placeholders that work without PlaceholderAPI. It is designed for server owners who want a cleaner and more dynamic player list without adding a large dependency stack. You can configure how players appear in the TAB list, add rank-based prefixes and suffixes, and show useful live information such as player name, world, online count, max slots, ping, TPS, and coordinates. The plugin includes built-in placeholders like `%player%`, `%world%`, `%online%`, `%max%`, `%ping%`, `%tps%`, `%x%`, `%y%`, `%z%`, `%prefix%`, and `%suffix%`, which makes it easy to build styled TAB layouts directly from config. This keeps setup simpler for servers that want a customizable TAB system but do not want to rely on PlaceholderAPI for basic formatting features. `ztab` also supports animated header and footer frames, so the TAB list can feel more active and polished instead of static. It is intended to be lightweight, practical, and easy to configure for modern Paper servers. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/a4f94a8656b137f092cc5fc66cc337239f437502.png) If needed, `ztab` can optionally work alongside (https://modrinth.com/plugin/zsupportextender) for broader compatibility workflows. This is optional, and the plugin can still run on its own normally. This project is built for Paper `1.19+` and focuses on simple setup, useful placeholders, and better TAB presentation for real servers.
