Usage

To start using Legacy-Tab, you simply need to initialize the API and send your desired tab adapter. Here's a basic example:

Initialize with your plugin's instance:

// Initialize LegacyTab in your onEnable
  LegacyTab legacyTab = new LegacyTab(plugin);

Create a Tab Adapter (Also supports anonymous classes)

public class ExampleAdapter extends TabAdapter {

    @Override
    public HashMap<Integer, TabItem> getItems(WrappedTabPlayer tabPlayer) {
        HashMap<Integer, TabItem> items = new HashMap<>();
        
        items.put(0, new TabItem() //Set the tab item of the first slot
                .setPing(0) //Set 0 ping to hide it on most pvp clients
                .setSkin(Skin.DEAD) //Use the built-in Skins or Cache skins using 'new Skin(UUID)'
                .setText("&cHello World!")); //Sets the text displayed on the fake player

        return items;
    }

    @Override
    public void tick() { } //Called every tick (50ms). Can be useful for time handling
}

Set a player's TabAdapter

  Player player = event.getPlayer();
  TabAdapter tabAdapter = new ExampleAdapter();

  legacyTab.setAdapter(player, tabAdapter);
