Configuration
We'll edit the plugin's main config file at home/plugins/TAB/config.yml. We'll focus on what most people are looking to edit, which would be the tablist and nametags.
PlaceholderAPI
Before getting to the config file itself, we should import any eCloud packages we might want to use later on. To learn how please refer to our PlaceholderAPI Doc.
Tab / Tablist
TAB's Wiki is quite comprehensive. But to edit the tablist we can follow the Header & Footer Guide, for the player names on the list we can proceed with Tablist Names Guide, and finally for the layout within the tabslots available we can check their Layout Guide.
Nametags
The other main feature most people care about is the nametags for players, which show up like any other nametag but for players themselves. To edit this we can check their Nametag Guide
