Wider Tab Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make the tab list wider?
Open your mod config menu (usually accessible from the main menu or in-game settings) and look for the tab list width setting. Adjust the slider or value to increase the width until it fits your screen comfortably without cutting off player names.
Why are some players still not showing in my tab list?
If you're still seeing a scrollbar or missing players, increase the width setting further in the mod config. You may also need to adjust the height setting if there are many players online, as both dimensions affect how many names display at once.
Does this mod work with other tab list mods?
No, running multiple mods that modify the tab list will cause conflicts and display errors. Disable any other tab-related mods before using Wider Tab Mod.
Can I see player ping and status icons with this mod?
Yes, Wider Tab Mod preserves all vanilla tab list information including ping bars and player status indicators—it only changes the layout size.
My tab list looks cut off or goes off-screen. How do I fix it?
Reduce the width value in the mod config to fit within your screen resolution. If text is still cut off, check that your GUI scale setting in Minecraft video options isn't set too high.
Does this mod affect server performance?
No, this is a client-side only mod that only changes how the tab list displays on your screen. It has no impact on server performance or other players.
Can I customize the tab list colors or fonts?
Wider Tab Mod focuses on width and visibility, not styling. For color or font changes, you'll need a different mod or resource pack.
What happens if I set the tab list too wide?
If you set it wider than your screen can display, parts of the tab list will be cut off or go off-screen. Adjust the width down until everything fits comfortably in your viewport.
Does this work on servers that don't allow mods?
Yes, Wider Tab Mod is client-side only and doesn't send any data to the server, so it works on vanilla servers and servers that allow client-side mods.
Why is my tab list laggy when there are many players?
Check the mod config for a performance or rendering option and enable it, or reduce the tab list width slightly to decrease the number of names rendered at once. See the performance optimization guide for more tips.
