Quick Start

This gets you from a fresh install to a branded tab list with sorted ranks and nametags.

1. Install the plugins

Install BusyTab (Installation) together with:

  • PlaceholderAPI, then run /papi ecloud download Player and /papi ecloud download Server.
  • LuckPerms, plus Vault if you want to use %vault_rank% from the default config.

2. Set your header and footer

Open plugins/BusyTab/config.yml and change the text. Each list entry is one line:

yaml 
header:
  - ''
  - 'My Server'
  - '&7Welcome, &e%player_name%&7!'
  - ''

footer:
  - ''
  - '&7Players online: &a%server_online%&7/&a%server_max_players%'
  - '&7TPS: &a%busytab_tps%'

3. List your ranks

Put your permission groups in order, highest first. The names must match your group names:

yaml 
rank-order:
  - owner
  - admin
  - moderator
  - vip
  - default

4. Check the name and nametag formats

The defaults show the rank in brackets in the tab list and above the head:

yaml 
tablist-name-format: '&8[&e%vault_rank%&8] &f%player_name%%busytab_afk%'

nametag:
  enabled: true
  prefix: '&8[&e%vault_rank%&8] '
  suffix: '%busytab_afk%'
  name-color: white

To show your LuckPerms prefix instead of the group name, swap &8[&e%vault_rank%&8] for %luckperms_prefix% in both places.

5. Reload

/busytab reload

The tab list and nametags update straight away.
