Vertical Slot Order

Usually BungeeTabListPlus will fill the slots of the tab list from left to right then top to bottom. This is different from how vanilla Minecraft does it: top to bottom then left to right. However, there are different options available to change that, which are explained below.

Change the Slot Order in the !players Component

The !players component provides a fillSlotsVertical option that can be set to true to change the slot order. In the provided default configuration file this line is not present however you can just add it.

Here's a code snippet illustrating that:

- !players
  playerSet: all_players
  fillSlotsVertical: true
  # ...

All you have to do is to add the fillSlotsVertical: true line to your configuration file.

Here's a screenshot of what this does:

fillSlotsVertical: false	fillSlotsVertical: true

The code below is the configuration file which belongs to the above example with fillSlotsVertical set to true. If you want the other one just change it to false.

showTo: all
priority: 1
showHeaderFooter: false
playerSets:
  all_players: all
type: FIXED_SIZE
size: 40
defaultIcon: colors/dark_gray.png
defaultPing: 1000
components:
- !players
  playerSet: all_players
  playerOrder: "alphabetically"
  playerComponent: "${player name}"
  morePlayersComponent: {text: "&7... and &e${other_count} &7others", icon: "colors/gray.png", ping: 0}
  fillSlotsVertical: true
- !spacer
-
-
- {text: "&cTime: &6${time H:mm:ss}", icon: "default/clock.png", ping: 0}
- {text: "&cPlayers: &6${playerset:all_players size}", icon: "default/players.png", ping: 0}

Change the Slot Order in the !players_by_server Component

If you're using the !players_by_server component instead of the !players component, don't worry it has the fillSlotsVertical option too. And it works pretty similar to the !players component. All you have to do is to add a line saying fillSlotsVertical: true.

Here's a code snippet illustrating that:

- !players_by_server
  playerSet: all_players
  fillSlotsVertical: true
  # ...

Here's a screenshot showing the difference between setting the fillSlotsVertical option to false (same as not having it at all) and setting it to true:

fillSlotsVertical: false	fillSlotsVertical: true

showTo: all
priority: 10
showHeaderFooter: false
playerSets:
  all_players: all
type: FIXED_SIZE
size: 40
defaultIcon: colors/dark_gray.png
defaultPing: 1000
components:
- !players_by_server
  playerSet: all_players
  serverHeader:
  - {text: "&e&n${server}&f&o (${server_player_count}):", icon: "colors/yellow.png", ping: 0}
  serverSeparator:
  -
  playerOrder: "alphabetically"
  playerComponent: "${player name}"
  morePlayersComponent: {text: "&7... and &e${other_count} &7others", icon: "colors/gray.png", ping: 0}
  fillSlotsVertical: true

Change the Slot Order using the !container Component

This option is slightly more complicated, but allows changing the slot order in case where you using multiple !players (and other) Components. To explain how this works let's start with a tab list configuration that uses the default (left-to-right) slot order that we want to change. What's special about the example below is that staff members are displayed first followed by a list the remaining players . This is achieved by first using the !player component to display all staff members and then another !players component to display the remaining players.

showTo: all
priority: 0

showHeaderFooter: false

playerSets:
  all_players: all
  staff: ${player permission tablist.staff} = true
  non_staff: ${player permission tablist.staff} = false

type: FIXED_SIZE
size: 60

defaultIcon: colors/dark_gray.png
defaultPing: 1000

components:
- {center: "&e&l━━━ Staff ━━━"}
- !players
  playerSet: staff
  playerComponent: "${player name}"
  morePlayersComponent: {text: "&7... and &e${other_count} &7others", icon: "colors/gray.png", ping: 0}
-
- {center: "&e&l━━━ Players ━━━"}
- !players
  playerSet: nonstaff
  playerComponent: "${player name}"
  morePlayersComponent: {text: "&7... and &e${other_count} &7others", icon: "colors/gray.png", ping: 0}

Here's a simplified view of what we have to do in order to use the !container component to change get a top-to-bottom slot order. Currently, our config (simplified) looks like this:

components:
- Component 1
- Component 2
- Component 3
- Component 4

Adding the !container component and moving all other components inside makes it look like this:

components:
- !container
  fillSlotsVertical: true
  components:
  - Component 1
  - Component 2
  - Component 3
  - Component 4

By applying that idea to our example configuration from above we get the following result:

showTo: all
priority: 100

showHeaderFooter: false

playerSets:
  all_players: all
  admins: ${player vault_primary_group} == "Admin"

type: FIXED_SIZE
size: 60

defaultIcon: colors/dark_gray.png
defaultPing: 1000

components:
- !container
  fillSlotsVertical: true
  components:
  - {center: "&e&l━━━ Staff ━━━"}
  - !players
    playerSet: staff
    playerComponent: "${player name}"
    morePlayersComponent: {text: "&7... and &e${other_count} &7others", icon: "colors/gray.png", ping: 0}
  -
  - {center: "&e&l━━━ Players ━━━"}
  - !players
    playerSet: non_staff
    playerComponent: "${player name}"
    morePlayersComponent: {text: "&7... and &e${other_count} &7others", icon: "colors/gray.png", ping: 0}
