Where it goes
Is Better Tab required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Better Tab 2.3.0+26.3 need?
2.3.0+26.3. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API, YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Better Tab add?
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.
Showcase (Without & with the mod)
Comparison between when using the mod, and when not. Without the mod comes first.
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"));
}
});
}
}
