Rounded Tab
by me_Alfred
Players who prefer softer visuals can use Rounded Tab to give the vanilla TAB player list rounded corners, with adjustable radius and background opacity.
What it does
Rounded Tab changes the overlay that appears while the TAB key is held, replacing its sharp rectangular corners with rounded ones. The corner radius can be set from a subtle 1–2 px up to a heavy 12 px, and the background opacity can be lowered from the default dark panel down to fully transparent, leaving only the player entries visible. A one-click toggle returns the list to its vanilla look at any time.
The mod runs on the client only, so players install it themselves and servers need nothing, whether they run vanilla or modded. Changes made in-game are kept across sessions, and they can be reached through Mod Menu if that is installed, where a settings icon opens the Rounded Tab options. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Fabric API is required, and the build is for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, published 2026-07-20.
Key features
Rounded TAB list corners
The vanilla TAB player list overlay gets rounded corners instead of hard rectangular edges.
Adjustable corner radius
The radius can be set from a subtle 1–2 px up to a heavy 12 px, to suit the look of the resource pack in use.
Background opacity control
The dark background panel can be made transparent, leaving only the player entries on screen.
Instant vanilla toggle
A single click switches the list back to the original vanilla appearance without restarting the game.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Matching modern resource packs
Clean rounded edges fit UI-focused resource packs and modern interface mods that favor soft shapes.
Lightweight client tweak
The mod adds only a couple of small mixins, so its performance impact is minor for the player.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a softer TAB list, and players who use Mod Menu to change visual settings in-game.
How it compares
Smart View is client-side only, published for 1.21.11, and is not open source, under All rights reserved. GUI Studio is also client-side only and for 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, and is not open source. Coordinate Display and Conversion Mod is for 1.21.8, uses CC0 1.0 Universal, and is not open source; it works on either side, and neither needs it.

What the author says
RoundedTab softens the sharp corners of the vanilla player list (the overlay you see when you hold TAB). No more hard rectangle — just clean, rounded edges that fit modern resource packs and UI mods. Everything is client-side: install it yourself and it works on any server, vanilla or modded. Nothing is required on…
