How do I make TAB work with LuckyPerms???

If you want to take prefixes/suffixes, check this guide and use %luckperms-prefix% & %luckperms-suffix%.

For sorting, make sure you configured weights correctly in LuckPerms and then correctly configured sorting by groups.
Sorting by LP weights directly is achievable, but much more complicated and therefore is not recommended.

How can I make belowname not affect NPCs but keep it for players?

Disable vanilla belowname, enable unlimited nametag mode and run /tab group _DEFAULT_ belowname &c%health% Health.

Why do the abovename/belowname properties not work?

These properties require Unlimited nametag mode. By default, you won't see your nametag, you will only see other players' nametags. To see your own, use /tab ntpreview. See the Unlimited nametag mode wiki page for more information.

Why is player sorting not working?

The most common causes for this include sorting being disabled, weights not being configured correctly in LuckPerms, and enabling sorting by permissions but not configuring it correctly / giving OP to everyone. See Sorting guide for more information.

How to add players to the %staffonline% placeholder?

Give them the tab.staff permission.

How do i disable the ping in tablist?

yellow-number-in-tablist:
  enabled: false

I enabled unlimited nametag mode, but it doesn't seem to work. Why?

This feature uses fake client-sided armor stands to display text instead of vanilla nametags. They are only sent to other players to avoid annoying permanent text above head all the time. As a result, unofficially modified clients designed to give user an unfair advantage over others that allow you to see your own nametag will not work for this. To see your nametag, you will need another person to look at you. You can also use /tab ntpreview to temporarily display your nametag for yourself (the command is a toggle).

How to make player heads visible in tablist?

Player heads are displayed by the client when connection to the server is an online connection. It cannot be directly controlled by plugins. The most common way to reach this is by setting online-mode=true in server.properties.
If you want to allow pirates on your server, you can still display heads for players who bought the game by changing their connections to online connections. Most commonly used plugins for this are FastLogin and JPremium, which change connections of premium players to online connections.

How can I split players into multiple columns?

Players are put into columns by the client, it is not managed by the server. The only way is to get more players. They automatically split into more columns at 21, 41 and 61 players (due to limit of 20 entries per column). If you don't mind getting all 80 slots filled with fake player slots, check out Layout feature.

How to use spaces in prefix/suffix command?

Use "", for example /tab group owner tabprefix "&2&lOwner&r "

Can I remove the green connection bar in tablist?

This is not possible to control from server side. The only way is to modify the minecraft client.

Placeholder is not working, why?

Most common reasons for a placeholder to not work include:

  • Using % symbol by itself which breaks placeholder starts and ends (use %% to display the symbol)
  • Trying to use a PlaceholderAPI placeholder without downloading it's expansion
  • Trying to use TAB's internal bukkit-only placeholders on bungeecord
  • Trying to use PlaceholderAPI placeholders on bungeecord without installing bridge plugin

Full list of reasons can be found on Placeholders page.
