Frequently asked questions

How do I open the TAB config files?
TAB generates its configuration files inside its plugin folder on the server, with separate files for the tablist, nametags, scoreboard, and bossbar sections. Edit them with any text editor, then run the plugin's reload command to apply changes without restarting the server.
How do I reload TAB after editing the config?
Use the plugin's reload command from the server console or as an operator in-game. A full reload reapplies tablist, nametag, scoreboard, and bossbar settings without kicking players.
Why isn't my tablist header or footer showing up?
The most common causes are a YAML indentation mistake, a placeholder that isn't registered, or forgetting to reload after saving. Check the console for errors when reloading, since TAB logs exactly which line failed to parse.
How do I add a placeholder like a player's ping or balance to the tablist?
TAB reads placeholders from PlaceholderAPI, so install that plugin and any expansion you need, then use the placeholder syntax inside your tablist, nametag, scoreboard, or bossbar text. If the placeholder shows as raw text, the expansion isn't installed or the placeholder name is misspelled.
