Tablist Toggle
by Nauren
Tablist Toggle lets players switch the player list on and off with a single press of the Tab key, instead of holding it down.
What it does
By default the player-list key shows the list only while it is held. With Tablist Toggle installed, one press of that key opens the list and a second press closes it. The list itself always starts hidden after joining a world or server, and the chosen mode is remembered across restarts. A separate option sits in the Controls settings screen, directly beside the vanilla Toggle Sprint and Toggle Sneak options, so the behaviour can be switched back to hold mode at any time.
The mod was built for players who keep a different action bound to Tab or who simply want the list open without holding a key. It is a small client-side change: only the player's own game needs it, and servers run without it. Installation requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader, while the NeoForge build needs no extra library. Both loaders are covered by the 1.20.6 – 26.1.2 range, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Single-press toggle
One press of the player-list key opens the list and a second press hides it, so the key no longer has to stay held.
Hold or toggle mode
The vanilla hold behaviour remains available, and the mode can be switched from the Controls settings screen.
Remembered setting
The selected mode persists across restarts and across worlds and servers, while the list always starts hidden on join.
Rebindable key
The player-list key stays free to be rebound to any other action, and the toggle works with whatever key is chosen.

Use cases
Keeping other actions on Tab
Players whose Tab key is rebound to something else can still check the online list with one press, without holding the key down.
Checking who is online
A player who wants the list visible while doing other tasks can open it once and keep both hands free.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric or NeoForge who want the player list to open and close with a single press, including those who rebound the Tab key for another action.

What the author says
A tiny, no-dependency client mod that lets you toggle the player list (the tab list) instead of having to hold the key the whole time. I was playing survival with some friends, and one of them had rebound Tab to a different action. The problem: out of pure habit he kept mashing Tab every few seconds, because that's…
