How to use the result

Find the section
In plugins/TAB/config.yml — string header-footer:. Replace the section entirely with collected items.
Save as UTF-8
Otherwise, Cyrillic characters become question marks: TAB reads the config only in this encoding.
Reload
By command /tab reload — the header will update for all players without relogging.

What to know

Width — screen-wide. Lines longer than window width minus 50 pixels are automatically wrapped — on small windows, the header will appear higher.
Placeholders view %online% replaces TAB; foreign ones, such as %vault_eco_balance%— via PlaceholderAPI.
Blend — two colors. More diamonds, larger iron veins, or a world without coal: choose how often and with which veins each ore spawns — get a world generation datapack.
No plugins Only the server sets the header and footer: vanilla Minecraft has no commands for this.

Colored server description in the player list will be compiled MOTD generator, message format — chat format.

Frequently asked questions

How to make a tab header in Minecraft?

TAB plugin: header-footer section in its config.yml, header and footer lines. The page will collect this section and display a list as in the game.

What placeholders are available in TAB?

Custom: %online%, %ping%, %player%, %world%, %tps%, %time% and others. Placeholders from other plugins — via PlaceholderAPI.

Why are question marks instead of Cyrillic letters?

The config is not saved in UTF-8. Resave the file in this encoding and run /tab reload.
