# \ud83e\udde9 BetterTablist<\/p>\n
A powerful and customizable tablist plugin for your Minecraft server \u2013 designed with flexibility, performance, and clarity in mind.<\/p>\n
## \u2728 Features<\/p>\n
– \ud83d\udd27 Per-server tag configuration
\n Use global config files like `citybuild.yml`, `minigame.yml`, and more \u2013 assigned via `server_tag`.<\/p>\n
– \ud83d\udcc1 Global config directory
\n Organize all your tablists in one central location: `network\/tablists\/`.<\/p>\n
– \ud83e\udde0 Automatic fallback
\n If no matching config is found for a server, a `template.yml` file is used as fallback.<\/p>\n
– \ud83e\ude84 Animated header & footer
\n Create smooth animations using simple YAML lists \u2013 with optional randomization.<\/p>\n
– \ud83e\udde9 PlaceholderAPI support
\n Supports your favorite placeholders like `{player}`, `{online}`, and custom ones.<\/p>\n
– \u2705 No console spam
\n Smart logging only warns about missing files every 2 minutes to keep the console clean.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Setup<\/p>\n
1. Drop the plugin `.jar` into your `\/plugins\/` folder
\n2. Start your server once \u2013 config files are auto-generated
\n3. Edit your `config.yml` and set:
\n “`yaml
\n server_tag: citybuild
\n global_config: “..\/network\/tablists\/”
\n “`
\n4. Customize the matching `citybuild.yml` file in your global config folder
\n5. Done! The tablist now updates based on your settings \ud83c\udf89<\/p>\n
