Control F for `allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards` and set to true. Restart\n\n**Geyser & Bedrock** \nAbilities does NOT support Bedrock (get Java lol), like any other datapacks. \nAbilities does NOT COMPLETELY WORK on Geyser, because Bedrock players cannot click in chat (bruh bedrock sucks). But, if a Java operator gave them an ability manually, it will work fine. Note that Java players can use Abilities fine even with Geyser enabled. \n\n**If the menu is not working** \nDo `\/function abilities:config` and toggle on and then toggle off operators choose ability.
