TabStats
by Alana_py
TabStats counts how often a player presses Tab to open the player list and how long it stays open, then keeps those totals between sessions.
What it does
Each time the player list opens, TabStats adds one to a press counter and measures how long the list stays visible. The totals appear in the mod's own screen and are written to disk, so they survive restarting the game. Achievements are granted when the counts reach set milestones.
The mod is built for players who open the tab list often, such as those on Hypixel or playing Skyblock, where the list is checked constantly. It runs entirely on the client, so it works on any server, including Hypixel, without anything installed there. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.10.
TabStats needs Fabric Loader and is not open source: its license is All rights reserved, though the source code is publicly available. The current build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.10, first published and last updated on 2026-03-05.
Key features
Press counter
Every opening of the player list is counted, giving a running total of Tab presses.
Open time tracking
The time the player list stays open is added up, so the total shows how long Tab was held over time.
Milestone achievements
Achievements are granted as the press and open-time totals reach set milestones.
Saved between sessions
Totals are stored and carry over after the game is closed and restarted.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Skyblock play
Players who check the tab list while playing Skyblock can see how often they press it over many sessions.
Hypixel
Because the mod is client-side, it can be used on Hypixel without the server needing any changes.
Who it’s for: Players who want a record of how often and how long they view the player list, especially on servers where the list is used heavily.
How it compares
SkyButtons is a client-side Fabric mod under the MIT License, open source, and built for 1.21 – 1.21.8, so it covers older versions than TabStats. SkyblockHelpers is also client-side and Fabric only, but is limited to 1.21.5 and is not open source. Tom's addons covers 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, overlapping TabStats in version, and is not open source either.

What the author says
Ever wondered how many times you've pressed Tab while playing Minecraft? If you're a Skyblock player, the answer is probably a lot. Because Skyblock players press Tab constantly for no reason, and now you can finally see just how much.
