First Tablist

First Tablist

This page shows the honest current DaisyCore tablist path:

• per-player header and footer sessions
• MiniMessage-first strings by default
• shared config-backed text only when it is useful

Step 1: start with direct MiniMessage strings

fun profileTablist(player: Player) =
    tablist {
        header("<gradient:#7dd3fc:#c4b5fd>Welcome back</gradient>\n<white>${player.name}</white>")
        footer("<gray>Coins: <white>1,250</white>")
    }

That is the normal path.

Those strings are already DaisyCore-facing MiniMessage strings.

Step 2: show it to a player

val session = daisy.tablists?.show(player, profileTablist(player))

Step 3: refresh or close it

session?.refreshNow()
session?.close()

Step 4: use shared config-backed text when the plugin already stores header/footer there

fun profileTablist(player: Player) =
    tablist {
        headerLang("profile.tablist.header", viewer = player, "player" to player.name)
        footerLang("profile.tablist.footer", viewer = player, "coins" to "1,250")
    }

Those keys are just your own plugin config paths.

They only become useful when you want:

• shared text across multiple systems
• translation/localization
• reloadable wording
• config-managed UI text

Components also work

If your plugin is already component-first, the tablist builder also accepts Component values directly.

The recommended order remains:

1. direct MiniMessage strings
2. components when you want explicit control
3. key-backed text when the plugin already stores text that way

Current scope

The current public tablist API intentionally focuses on:

• header
• footer
• options
• session refresh and cleanup

It does not currently claim richer tab entry formatting or packet-heavy customization.

Current default

Use direct MiniMessage strings first. Shared config-backed text is the scaling path, not the starting requirement.
