Minecraft Scoreboard & TAB Designer
Design your sidebar scoreboard and tab list with colours and placeholders, see them together on a game screen, and copy a ready config for the TAB plugin.
Scoreboard (sidebar)
Tab list
Placeholders like %player%, %online% and %ping% show example values in the preview.
Copy your config
For the TAB plugin: replace the matching sections in its config.yml and groups.yml, then run /tab reload. Placeholders starting with a plugin name (like vault_) need PlaceholderAPI.
How to use the Scoreboard & TAB Designer
- Build the sidebar: add up to 15 lines, from top to bottom, using & colour codes.
- Set the tab list’s header and footer, and what appears before and after player names.
- Use placeholders for live values such as a player’s balance. The preview fills them with example values.
- Check both on the game screen preview.
- Copy the config, replace the matching sections in the TAB plugin’s config.yml and groups.yml, and run /tab reload.
Common questions
Which plugin is this for?
The TAB plugin. The config is written in the format TAB reads, so it will not work pasted into a different scoreboard plugin.
Why do my placeholders show as plain text in game?
Placeholders that start with a plugin’s name, such as vault_, need PlaceholderAPI installed, along with that plugin’s expansion.
Why can I only have 15 lines?
That is the most the Minecraft sidebar can show. It is a limit of the game, not of the tool.
Can I hide the red numbers on the right?
Yes. There is a setting for whether the sidebar shows them.
