pTabs is an ultra-modern, lightweight, and highly optimized Tablist Header & Footer, Multi-Conditional Scoreboard, Cross-Version BossBar, ActionBars, AutoMessage Broadcasts, Welcome Titles & Server MOTD plugin designed for Minecraft 1.8 through 26w+ (Spigot, Paper, Purpur, Leaf, Folia).
Created by Pinou007, pTabs provides complete control over server display elements with smooth 20FPS inline color animations (<animate gradient...>, <animate color...>), 80-slot custom tablist layouts, Bedrock/Geyser player adaptations (%floodgate_isbedrock%), seamless TAB configuration & animations importer with auto-disabling, modern scoreboard number hiding (use-numbers: false), permission-based vertical group sorting (weight.<number>), interactive 27-slot Admin Control Panel GUIs (/ptabs), 100% individual per-player BossBars, and full PlaceholderAPI integration.
⚡ Cross-Version Smooth Display Suite (1.8 - 26w+): Provides real-time Tablist Header/Footer, Scoreboard sidebars, BossBars, ActionBars, AutoMessage announcements, Welcome Titles, and MOTD with smooth interpolation and zero flickering across 1.8 to 1.21+ / 26w snapshots.
🌈 Smooth Inline Text & Color Animations: Native inline animation tags:
<animate gradient #HEX1 to #HEX2 in 5s>Text</animate> — Wave gradient shifting across letters!<animate color #HEX1 to #HEX2 in 5s>Text</animate> — Smooth solid color pulse transition!%animation:Name% loaded from animations.yml.👥 Permission-Based Tablist Group Weight Sorting: Organize players in the Tablist using weight.<number> permissions (e.g. weight.1000 for Admins vs weight.10 for Members) or primary-group-finding-list. Higher weights automatically sort players at the top of the Tablist across all custom player scoreboards.
📱 Geyser & Floodgate Bedrock Integration: Detects Geyser/Floodgate Bedrock players (%floodgate_isbedrock%, %bedrock%) and supports custom conditional display sets tailored specifically for mobile and console players.
📊 Modern Scoreboard Number Hiding: Supports hiding sidebar scores completely on modern Minecraft versions (use-numbers: false) using Paper/Adventure NumberFormat.blank() API without 16-character line truncation bugs.
👑 100% Individual Per-Player BossBars: Each player has their own dedicated BossBar instance, ensuring placeholders like %player% and %ping% and animated colors (%animation:barcolors%) render accurately for every viewer.
🔄 Seamless TAB Plugin Config & Animations Importer: Import configurations directly from plugins/TAB/config.yml and animations.yml using /ptabs import all. Automatically maps gradient tags (<#HEX1>Text</#HEX2>), converts millisecond animation timings to ticks, force-enables modules, and auto-disables the TAB plugin to avoid conflicts (the layout section is explicitly preserved!).
🎨 80-Slot Custom Tablist Layout Grid: Fully customizable 80-slot tablist grid supporting fixed content slots (1|&3Website&f:), permission-based player group ranges (24-40 for staff, 44-80 for players), and custom ping indicators.
🖥️ Interactive 27-Slot Admin Control Panel GUI: Execute /ptabs to open an in-game Chest GUI to toggle modules on/off, switch languages (EN/FR), and reload configuration in real-time.
