How to hook into TAB?

Hooking into TAB is pretty simple. Most of the job is already done by Hynick, changing your nickname, rank and skin.

However, depending on your current configuration of TAB, your tab name and nametag name might not get updated automatically, because they simply depend on another placeholder (by default it's an Essentials placeholder) which doesn't get updated on the player.

This is the reason we have to manually change the configuration, in order to get the result we want!

To fix this, there are 3 steps you need to follow:

  1. Install the Player PAPI extension on your server by doing: /papi ecloud download Player and /papi reload
  2. Go into TAB config.yml file and enable unlimited-nametag-mode (you can CTRL + F to find it faster since the config is quite messy)
  3. Go into TAB groups.yml file and set customtabname and customtagname to: "%player_name%"

You can now refresh the TAB plugin by doing /tab reload and you're good to go!
