• minimal - clean white/grey, no dividers, subtle shimmer title
• aurora - mint/aqua, shimmer rails, marquee + typewriter footer
• halloween - orange/purple, textured bars, in-game clock and day bar
• custom - uses the tablist: section for your own creation Switching a design changes the palette, the layout AND the player list row.

INLINE EFFECT TAGS (wrap any text, anywhere in the config)

• [✨]TEXT[/✨] full hue ✨
• [wave]TEXT[/wave] brightness wave
• [shimmer]TEXT[/shimmer] bright band sweeping across
• [scroll]TEXT[/scroll] scrolling marquee

NEW ANIMATED PLACEHOLDERS

• %arrow% %arrow_alt% bouncing markers
• %divider% %divider_short% %divider_long%
• %ram_bar% %ram% heap usage bar + numbers

• %day% %weather% %motif% day number, weather, sun/moon motif

NEW CONFIG OPTIONS

• settings.active-design pick the design (neon/royal/minimal/.../custom)
• settings.low-end-mode doubles refresh interval, halves CPU cost
• designs..palette each design brings its own colours
• designs..player-list-format per-design player rows
• designs..animation.frames per-design frame rotation
• tablist: kept as the fully custom slot
• everything animates on a real 20 tick clock (60-tick frames = 3s per frame)

BALANCE / QUALITY OF LIFE

• Every design has space lines above/below the player list (no more cramped)
• Frame rotation loops cleanly at 3 seconds
• Ping column aligned with %pad% in every design
• Config version bumped to 3 - old config is backed up, never overwritten
• Faster: single-pass placeholder engine + component cache (~54us per line)

---

CARRIED OVER FROM v1.0.0

• Animated header/footer with unlimited rotating frames
• Join flash (welcome tab list), rotating announcements, scrolling marquee
• Coloured ping: green/yellow/gold/red thresholds, ping bars per player
• Everything else: %online% %max% %staff% %tps% %mspt% %uptime% %world% %time%
• Layouts by permission and/or world (staff layout shipped)
• Commands: /ptab help | preview | info | ping | toggle | reload | version
• Permissions: phantontab.use/.reload/.toggle/.ping/.info/.staff/.layout.staff
• Optional PlaceholderAPI
• NO auto-updater, no bStats, no external connections

INSTALL / UPGRADE

2. Start the server - your old config.yml is backed up automatically
3. Set settings.active-design to the look you want
4. Set your server name / store under server:
5. /ptab reload then /ptab preview

TESTED

• 22 automated tests pass (tested on the Paper 26.3 API with JDK 25)
  • design switching, inline tags, frame timing, animation over ticks
  • placeholders, ping thresholds, layouts, toggle, join flash, reload
  • broken config recovery, performance budget
• Booted on a real Paper 26.3 build 231: clean enable, /ptab info and /ptab reload verified, TPS steady at 20.0
• Design mock-ups rendered from real plugin output (see release/mockups)
