The icons next to the player name in the tab list are not showing up

Your server needs to meet the following requirements for the icons to show up:

• You need to run Minecraft 1.8 or above.
• Your server cannot run in offline mode (see #269).

Players in spectator mode cannot see the custom tab list

This is intentional. You can use the disableCustomTabListForSpectators option in config.yml to change that. However, displaying the custom tab list to players in spectator mode causes some issues, such as fake players used for custom slots showing up in the teleport menu and other spectators being rendered differently.

I get Size 80 defined in default.yml is not supported by client.

For 1.7.x clients (and older) the size of the tab list configured in tab list configuration (default.yml) must match the size of the tab list configured in BungeeCord's config.yml.

How to create a separate tab list configuration for 1.7.x players

The following steps allow you to create a separate tab list configuration for players with 1.7.x or even older clients.

1. Create a new file in the tabLists folder. A copy of the default.yml or one of the examples from the wiki make a good starting point. While the name doesn't really matter, let's assume you called the file 1.7.yml.

2. Change the showTo option of the 1.7.yml to

   showTo: |-
     ${viewer client_version_below_1_8}

   Note that a 1.7.x client identifies as either 1.7.5 or 1.7.10, so it is sufficient to check for those two versions.

3. Change the priority option in the 1.7.yml to a number higher than the one in default.yml.

4. Edit the remaining options in 1.7.yml to change the layout to fit your needs. Pay attention to the following details specific to 1.7 clients:

   • The size must match the tab list size configured in BungeeCord's config.yml.
   • There is no header or footer. You can ignore or remove those config options.
   • There are no icons :(

How to set, that only players on a local server can be seen?

1. Create a player set containing only those players:

   playerSets:
     same_server: ${player server} = ${viewer server}

2. Change the playerSet option such that the plugin uses the same_server player set when displaying players

   playerSet: same_server

Can I use this plugin on Bukkit, i.e. without BungeeCord?

Have a look at AdvancedTabOverlay for a Bukkit port of the plugin.
