Better Tab Info

by tricube

Players who use the tab list on a server see TPS, numerical ping and a scrollable list through Better Tab Info, a client-side mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

What it does

Better Tab Info changes the player list shown while the Tab key is held. The footer displays server TPS and ping in color, player heads appear beside names even on offline servers, and the list can scroll when more players are online than fit on screen. Row and column counts are adjustable, with a default of two columns and ten rows where vanilla shows up to four columns and twenty rows. The tab list also works in single-player worlds.

The mod needs Craft Config Lib, and Fabric API on Fabric. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and the code is licensed under the MIT License, so it is open source. The latest Fabric and NeoForge files target 26.3, while the newest Forge file targets 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Numerical ping

    Each player's ping is shown as a number in the tab list rather than only as signal bars.

  2. Colored TPS and ping footer

    The footer shows server TPS and ping with color coding, so the current performance reads at a glance.

  3. Scrollable player list

    When the list is longer than the visible rows, it scrolls, so large servers remain fully listed.

  4. Adjustable rows and columns

    The number of visible rows and columns can be changed, replacing the vanilla limit of four columns and twenty rows.

  5. Player heads on offline servers

    Player heads appear beside names on offline servers, matching the display seen on online servers.

Use cases

Large multiplayer servers

Scrolling and adjustable columns keep a long player list readable when many people are online.

Single-player worlds

The tab list is enabled in single-player games, where it normally stays hidden, so the same information is visible offline.

Who it’s for: Players who want more information in the tab list on any server, without needing a server-side install. The mod suits people who check ping and performance during play.

Questions

Does Better Tab Info need Fabric API on every loader?

Fabric API is required on Fabric. Craft Config Lib is required on all loaders, including Forge and NeoForge.

Does the server need the mod installed?

No. The mod is client-side only, so a player can use it on any server without server-side mods.

Why can TPS values differ on some servers?

TPS is estimated from client-side packets, and the reading can drift on heavily modified servers or when a player's connection is unstable.
