Velocitab supports a number of Placeholders that will be replaced with their respective proper values in-game. In addition to the set of provided default Placeholders, you can make use of PlaceholderAPI and MiniPlaceholder-provided placeholders through special hooks.

Default placeholders

Placeholders can be included in the header, footer and player name format of the TAB list. The following placeholders are supported out of the box:

Placeholder Description Example
%players_online% Players online on the proxy 6
%max_players_online% Player capacity of the proxy 500
%local_players_online% Players online on the server the player is on 3
%current_date% Current real-world date of the server 24 Feb 2023
%current_time% Current real-world time of the server 21:45:32
%username% The player's username William278
%server% Name of the server the player is on alpha
%ping% Ping of the player (in ms) 6
%prefix% The player's prefix (from LuckPerms) &4[Admin]
%suffix% The player's suffix (from LuckPerms) &c
%role% The player's primary LuckPerms group admin
%debug_team_name% Internal team value, used for list sorting 1_alpha_William2

Customising server display names

You can make use of the server_display_names feature in config.yml to customise how server display name appear when using the %server% placeholder. In the below example, if the user was connected to a server with the name "very-long-server-name" and the player name format for the group that server belongs to included a %server% placeholder, the placeholder would be replaced with "VSLN" instead of the full name!

Server display names (config.yml)
# Define custom names to be shown in the TAB list for specific server names.
# If no custom display name is provided for a server, its original name will be used.
server_display_names:
  very-long-server-name: VLSN

PlaceholderAPI support

To use PlaceholderAPI placeholders in Velocitab, install the PAPIProxyBridge library plugin on your Velocity proxy and all Minecraft spigot servers on your network, and ensure the PAPI hook option is enabled in your Velocitab Config File. You can then include PAPI placeholders in your foramts as you would any of the default placeholders.

MiniPlaceholders support

If you are using MiniMessage Formatting, you can use MiniPlaceholders with Velocitab for MiniMessage-styled component placeholders provided by other proxy plugins. Install MiniPlaceholders on your Velocity proxy, set the formatter_type to MINIMESSAGE and ensure enable_miniplaceholders_hook is set to true
