TAB 6.0.3

Added 1.20.2 support.

Please note that the plugin currently won't work for 1.20.2 players on BungeeCord due to an issue that's currently being investigated. There is currently no feasible solution available on the plugin's end, so we will most likely need to wait for a fix on BungeeCord side. If any progress on this is made and it will involve a change to the plugin, an update will be made for 1.20.2 client support on BungeeCord.

Bug fixes

Added back Vault hook and placeholders

Fixed error on /sb

If using bridge plugin, update it to 3.1.0

• Added 1.20.1 to known versions list (to avoid warning saying unknown server version)
• Fixed TabComplete on Sponge 7-, Sponge 8+ and Fabric
• Fixed BungeeCord kick on 1.7

• Added 1.20 support
• Removed everything that should not be exposed in the API module and added API for layouts
• Pet name fix feature was removed from the main plugin and released as a separate plugin.
• Ping spoof feature was removed
• Removed Vault hook. According to bStats, 88% of servers that use TAB use LuckPerms and 5.6% use nothing. Other permission plugins are still supported when assigning groups by permissions.
• %vault-prefix% and %vault-suffix% got removed. You can use their PlaceholderAPI alternative or the internal LuckPerms placeholders
• %afk% got removed, use %essentials_afk% for essentials and %purpur_player_afk% for purpur's afk detection
• %essentialsnick% got officially removed, it was already partially removed previously only returning player's name
• Placeholder refresh interval categories were merged. Relational placeholders still have to start with %rel_, so those are not a problem. You are no longer able to specify server placeholders manually. Only those from server expansion are now registered as server placeholders.
• Added Fabric support. Due to nature of Fabric being unable to support more than 1 server version in a single jar, the release only supports 1.20.
• Moved layout.yml content to config.yml
• Feature are no longer being disabled in worlds/servers, but a disable-condition was introduced. It allows more customization. Bossbar and scoreboard got this option completely removed, as each configured object has display-condition already.
• Layout now properly hides vanished players only from those, who shouldn't see them (previously everyone had the same view). This opens new options for the future.
• Many other small changes and bug fixes

- Unlimited nametag mode will now force marker tag for 1.8.x players instead of allowing to configure it
