NoTabList

NoTabList is a lightweight Spigot/Paper plugin for Minecraft 1.21.x that completely disables the player tab list.
It uses ProtocolLib to intercept and cancel all outgoing PLAYER_INFO packets, preventing the client from ever receiving tab list updates.

Features

• 🔒 Full tab list blocking — players will never see who is online
• ⚡ Lightweight — no commands, configs, or permissions
• 🛠 Smart dependency check — automatically disables if ProtocolLib is missing
• 📜 Console logging — startup and shutdown messages for easy debugging

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.5 (Spigot or Paper)
• ProtocolLib

Installation

1. Download the latest release of NoTabList.
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.
