Custom Tab List

Overview

Sometimes it is desired to display minigame information, such as team color of the individual players in the tab list. This article describes a suggestion on how this can be solved.

The MissileWars plugin does not transfer any information to the tab-list. But MissileWars provides some useful placeholders that can be used by any plugin that supports the "PlaceholderAPI". More information and the full placeholder-list can be found in the wiki article Placeholders for PlaceholderAPI.
