MCPvP-Tab A lightweight, packet-based tablist & friends system. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ Overview MCPvP-Tab completely replaces the default Minecraft tablist with a clean, fully custom player list powered by PacketEvents. It features a built-in friends system with two switchable tab views — Friends and Region — toggled by simply pressing Sneak. Every element is packet-driven. No scoreboards, no flicker, no lag. The entire tab is rendered with fake entries, custom skulls, and real-time ping bars — exactly like the top PvP networks. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ Features

Custom Tablist — Fully packet-based, replaces every entry
Friends System — Add, remove, and accept friends with /friend
Two Tab Views — Friends & Region, toggled with Sneak
Real Player Skulls — Online friends show their actual skin
Custom Skull Textures — Offline friends, headers, and separators use custom heads
Live Ping Bars — Accurate connection quality indicators (5-bar system)
Offline Friend Tracking — See which friends are offline with a timed-out indicator
Online Player Count — Live count in the footer, updated every second
Clean Header & Footer — Centered, formatted, fully customizable
Smart Tab Completion — Context-aware suggestions for every subcommand
Cracked Server Support — Works perfectly on offline-mode servers
MySQL Storage — HikariCP connection pooling, zero file storage
Fully Async — All database operations and snapshot building off the main thread
Real Players Hidden — Vanilla tab entries are completely hidden via packets

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Friends Tab When a player opens their tablist, they see:

Code (Text):

Friends (3) ------- ● FriendOnline1 [green, real skin, live ping] ● FriendOnline2 [green, real skin, live ping] ✕ FriendOffline1 [gray, custom skull, timed out]

Online friends appear at the top with their real skin and live ping
Offline friends appear below with a dark skull and a timed-out ping icon
No friends? The tab shows /f add <player> as a hint
Maximum 75 friends per player

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Region Tab Press Sneak to switch to Region view:

Code (Text):

PlayerA [gray, real skin, live ping] PlayerB [gray, real skin, live ping] PlayerC [gray, real skin, live ping]

Shows every online player on the server
Sorted alphabetically
Each player displays their real skin and live ping
Press Sneak again to switch back to Friends

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Commands

Code (Text):

/friend add <player> Send a friend request (60s to accept) /friend accept <player> Accept an incoming request /friend remove <player> Remove a friend from your list

Aliases: /f All commands feature intelligent tab completion:

/f add — suggests online players
/f remove — suggests your current friends
/f accept — suggests pending incoming requests

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚙️ Requirements

Paper 1.21+ (or any Paper fork)
Java 21
PacketEvents 2.11+
MySQL Database

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ️ Architecture Built with performance as the top priority:

Zero main-thread computation — all snapshots built asynchronously
Packet interception — vanilla player entries never reach the client as listed
Immutable snapshots — precomputed and atomically swapped every second
HikariCP — fast, pooled MySQL connections
Caffeine cache — high-performance caching for skins and friend data
No deprecated API — fully modern Paper and PacketEvents usage

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ping Bars The tablist displays accurate ping indicators:

Code (Text):

< 150ms ▐▐▐▐▐ (5 bars — Excellent) < 300ms ▐▐▐▐ (4 bars — Good) < 600ms ▐▐▐ (3 bars — Fair) < 1000ms ▐▐ (2 bars — Poor) < 1500ms ▐ (1 bar — Bad) > 1500ms (0 bars — No connection)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Built with ❤️ for competitive PvP servers. If you need support, feel free to open a discussion.
