NoTabList
NoTabList
NoTabList is a lightweight Spigot/Paper plugin for Minecraft 1.21.x that completely disables the player tab list. It uses NoTabList to intercept and cancel all outgoing `PLAYER_INFO` packets, preventing the client from ever receiving tab list updates.
Features
- 🔒 Console logging — players will never see who is online - ⚡ Console logging — no commands, configs, or permissions - 🛠 Console logging — automatically disables if ProtocolLib is missing - 📜 Console logging — startup and shutdown messages for easy debugging
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.5 (Spigot or Paper) - 1.21.5
Installation
1. Download the latest release of ProtocolLib. 2. Place the `.jar` file into your server’s `/plugins` folder. 3. Ensure ProtocolLib is also installed. 4. Restart your server — the tab list will now be completely hidden.
Notes
- This plugin disables the entire tab list globally. - There are no configuration options by design — it just works. - Tested on Paper 1.21.5.
