TabScroller
by zNxki_
TabScroller changes the player list on the Tab key so a crowded server can be browsed page by page instead of cut off after a few entries.
What it does
On a server with many players, the vanilla tab list shows only a limited number of entries, and players with lower priority can be left out entirely. TabScroller splits the list into pages, so each connected player can be reached by scrolling through them. Left and right arrow keys move between pages while the list is open, and the list keeps the default tab list layout.
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod with no server part. Only players need it, and servers run without it. It is built for Minecraft 1.19.4 – 1.21.11, with 20 release versions covered, and the latest Fabric file, 1.2.2, targets 1.21.11 and was published on 2026-03-05. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Compared with the vanilla list, the pagination gives the same information in a form that fits large servers. The mod keeps its footprint small, and its author describes it as lightweight, with a note that its performance impact is low. Its first version was published on 2025-12-27 and the page was last updated on 2026-03-05.

Who it’s for: Players who join crowded multiplayer servers and want to see everyone online. Only the client needs the mod, so it can be added without any change on the server.
How it compares
NoHeadsInTAB is open source under the Apache License 2.0, client-side only, and covers 1.19 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, so it stops at an earlier range than TabScroller. Better Tab is client-side only on Fabric for 1.20 – 26.2, but its custom license means it is not open source. Both change the tab list in different ways, while TabScroller adds paging to the default layout.
