Simple Player List
Simple Player List is a Minecraft mod which introduces the ability to customize server's player list (Tab list) using Placeholder API. It supports colored text as well as server and player information.
Configuration
Upon loading the mod for the first time, a default configuration file will be generated at
config/simpleplayerlist.json:
{
"header": [
"<bold>Default Config</bold>",
2.0,
"<gray>To change this, edit",
"config/simpleplayerlist.json</gray>",
2.0,
"<aqua><st> </st></aqua>"
],
"footer": [
"<aqua><st> </st></aqua>",
2.0,
"<gray>TPS: %server:tps_colored_alt%<dark_gray>/</dark_gray>%server:mspt_colored_alt% <dark_gray>-</dark_gray> Ping: %player:ping_colored_alt%</gray>"
],
"tick_update_interval": 20
}
Each entry in the header and footer arrays can be either a text line or a number. Number how many blank lines to
insert.
This file uses Placeholder API's formatting system. Refer to:
This mod also adds three new alternatives to the default placeholders: %server:tps_colored_alt,
%server:mspt_colored_alt% and %player:ping_colored_alt%.
These variants provide improved color logic and presentation.
Commands
To apply changes made to the configuration file, use the in-game command /simpleplayerlist reload.
Players can run /simpleplayerlist to toggle the mod on their end.
