TAB-Bridge
by NEZNAMY
With TAB-Bridge installed on a proxy, the TAB plugin on backend servers receives forwarded player data such as permissions, PlaceholderAPI values and world settings.
What it does
TAB-Bridge is an addon for the TAB plugin that forwards player information from a proxy to the servers behind it. It is published for Fabric and Quilt across 89 release versions, 1.5.1 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric and Quilt files target 26.3. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, so it is open source.
Its main job is to carry data that a backend server cannot see on its own: permission groups, vanish status, the player's current world and gamemode. The bridge also handles PlaceholderAPI expansions and detection of invisible or disguised players, which lets TAB keep its displays correct behind a proxy. It works with TAB installed on the proxy and the matching TAB component on each server, and it is meant for networks running BungeeCord, Velocity or Paper-based servers.
Setup requires the TAB plugin on both the proxy and each backend server, with TAB-Bridge placed as the connecting piece between them. Server owners who run a Folia, Purpur or Spigot backend can use the same bridge configuration, since the mod lists those platforms alongside Paper and Bukkit.
Key features
Permission group forwarding
Permission groups assigned on the proxy are passed to the backend, so TAB shows the same group names on every server.
PlaceholderAPI forwarding
PlaceholderAPI values are forwarded from the proxy, so placeholders resolve correctly on backend servers.
Per-world settings
The player's current world is forwarded, allowing per-world TAB settings to apply on a network.
Vanish and gamemode status
Vanish status and spectator gamemode are forwarded, keeping the player list layout consistent across servers.
Invisible and disguised detection
Invisible or disguised players are detected, so nametags and collision behave correctly behind a proxy.
