About this Mod

Better Tab is a mod that improves the player list, making it scrollable and adding a numerical ping display. The default minecraft player list only shows up to 80 players, and on smaller screens they will overlap making it difficult to read. Better Tab makes the player list scrollable, making sure no entries overlap and infinite players can be seen.

For developers
Developer Documentation
BetterTab also includes a "library" that can help you render icons next to a player on the player list.This could for example be useful if you want to have a synced logo for everyone using your mod or modpack. BetterTab can then help you with the rendering part.
To insert a badge, simply register a badge provider, and insert your icons into the badge array. This could look like this:
import static tab.bettertab.tabList.BadgeManager.registerBadgeProvider;
public class MyMod implements ModInitializer {
@Override
public void onInitialize() {
// You can easily add your own badges by registering a provider like the following example.
registerBadgeProvider((player, badgeList) -> {
if (player.getProfile().getName().equals("Fy17")) {
badgeList.add(Identifier.of("myMod", "textures/gui/example.png"));
}
});
}
}

Does Better Tab need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Better Tab as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Better Tab require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Better Tab is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
