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

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

This thing shows nametags completely differently than vanilla. As a result, hacked clients that allow you to see your own nametag will not work for this. To see your nametag, you 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?

online-mode=true in server.properties. There's no way a cracked player can see heads. If you want your server in offline mode but want to use online connection for premium usernames, check out plugins like FastLogin or JPremium that change connections of premium players to online connections.

How can I add more columns in tablist?

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). There could be a way in a future to do that aswell as add fake players slots in the tablist but it isn't a priority yet.
You can check the progress about this feature here. There are no plans to add support for fake players.

Can I show some text in the variable next to the connection bar in tablist / Can I change the number's color?

No. There are only 2 options: yellow number or hearts. Nothing else. The color cannot be changed. However, the premium version offers automatic suffix aligning for the same effect but with no limits.

How to use spaces in prefix/suffix command?

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