SpeedTab
SpeedTab is a customizable tab plugin for the Velocity Minecraft proxy. It allows you to set custom headers and footers in the Minecraft tab list across different servers, with support for colour codes and formatting.
Features
- Customizable tab headers and footers.
- Different headers and footers for different servers.
- Support for Minecraft colour codes and formatting.
- Reload config with a command
/speedtabreload. - Permission node for the reload command.
Installation
- Download the latest release of SpeedTab from the top of the page.
- Place the downloaded JAR file in the
pluginsdirectory of your Velocity server. - Start your Velocity server to generate the default configuration file.
Commands
- Reload config -
/speedtabreload
Permissions
- Reload config -
speedtab.reloadBy default no one has the permission other than the console. To grant the permission to a player, you will need a permissions plugin installed on Velocity, and in the backend server (eg: Paper). This was tested with LuckPerms installed on Velocity and Paper, both connected up to the same MySQL server with thespeedtab.reloadpermission applied to my player.
Configuration
After running the server for the first time with SpeedTab installed, a default configuration file will be created in the plugins/speedtab directory.
Configuration File
The configuration file config.conf allows you to customize the tab headers and footers. Here is the default configuration:
default {
tabTitle = "&aWelcome to &bSpeedTab!"
tabFooter = "&cEnjoy your stay!"
}
servers {
lobby {
tabTitle = "&aWelcome to the &bLobby!"
tabFooter = "&cEnjoy your time in the Lobby!"
}
survival {
tabTitle = "&aWelcome to &bSurvival!"
tabFooter = "&cEnjoy your time in Survival!"
}
// Add more servers as required.
}
For headers and footers for different servers to work, the server names should match exactly what you have in your velocity.toml file. The plugin will fallback to the default headers and footers if needed.
