Tabby is a highly customisable Fabric mod for Minecraft that adds extra utility to the tab list such as:
- Configurable settings to change the amount of players shown and the amount of rows
- A highly configurable file to define groups of name colours and formats, full RGB and Minecraft formatting, read here for setup help
- Option to remove or change the headers and footers on tab, no more obnoxious advertising

Download the mod from here
Additionally, this mod requires:
- Cloth Config API
- Fabric API
- and optionally (highly recommended) Mod Menu to view the config
You will most likely have some, or all of these dependencies installed if you already use Fabric mods.
If you have never used or installed Fabric before, learn how to install it here
Once you have downloaded all the above mods, place them in .minecraft/mods, read below for help with that.
Read here for a guide for your OS on how to do navigate to the .minecraft directory.
Launch Minecraft with Tabby installed before following this guide to create the relevant files
If you would like to customise the formatting of specific usernames in tab, you must navigate to your ".minecraft" folder, read here for help with that. There is regrettably no in-game editor for this functionality as of now.
Once you have reached the .minecraft directory, navigate to .minecraft/config/Tabby. You will find that there is already a file here named "groups.json", the groups defined by default in this file are staff of the server I develop for, EarthMC.
You are free to edit this file as you like, however, it is important that you follow the structure I have laid out. Below is a simple example:
[
{
"group": "Friends",
"colour": "GOLD",
"bold": true,
"italic": false,
"underline": true,
"strikethrough": false,
"obfuscated": false,
"usernames": [
"fed0ec4a-f1ad-4b97-9443-876391668b34",
"Uberstrase"
]
}
]If you don't understand what you are doing when editing this file you should just replace the default values I have already put there rather than attempting to start from scratch. If you have made an irreparable mistake you can delete the file or folder and restart your client or press F9 to re-initialise the file.
- "group" can be any string you like
- UUIDs are a valid input for usernames
- "colour" can be any of the colours listed here i.e. BLACK, DARK_AQUA, RED etc. or you can choose a hexadecimal number, i.e. 4A412A
You can define as many groups as you like. If you make changes while in-game, you can press F9 to reload them on the fly. This is due to the JSON being cached to prevent lag.
