Replace the scoreboard and header-footer sections in plugins/TAB/config.yml, then run /tab reload. The toggle command is /sb.

Sidebar and tablist

The sidebar is the scoreboard on the right of the screen. The client shows a title and at most 15 lines. Each line has a score, and before 1.20.3 that score is always drawn as a red number. On 1.20.3 and newer the server can replace it with any text, or hide it.

The tablist header and footer are the lines above and below the player list when you hold Tab. Both take colour codes, &#RRGGBB hex and placeholders.

The TAB plugin export

The config export uses the format from the TAB wiki: a scoreboard section with named scoreboards (title, lines, optional display-condition) and a header-footer section with designs. TAB writes lines as text||right side. With "Hide red numbers" off, the tool adds ||&c15 style numbers so 1.20.3+ players still see them. TAB cannot remove the numbers for 1.20.2 and older clients.

Animations go in animations.yml as a change-interval in milliseconds and a list of texts. Placeholders in the preview use sample values. On your server they come from TAB or PlaceholderAPI.
