TabExpand

Description

TabExpand removes the default 16-character restriction for scoreboard team suffix and suffix in Minecraft 1.7.10. It increases the usable length (default: 64) and keeps both client and server behavior consistent via mixins.

The mod targets only prefix/suffix fields. Other scoreboard data (team name, display name, entries) remains unchanged to avoid unintended side effects.

Features

- Expands enable/disable (vanilla: 16 → configurable, default: 64) - Works on both enable/disable sides - enable/disable (separate read/write control) - Optional toggle to enable/disable expansion without removing the mod - Minimal, targeted mixins (does not modify unrelated packet fields)

---

Configuration

File: `config/TabExpand.cfg`

Options: - `enableExpansion` (boolean) Enables or disables the feature.

- `prefixSuffixReadLimit` (int, default: 64) Max length accepted when reading prefix/suffix from packets.

- `prefixSuffixWriteLimit` (int, default: 64) Max length allowed when writing prefix/suffix.

Recommended range: `16–256`

---

Compatibility

- Minecraft: 1.7.10 - Forge-based environments (including hybrid servers like Crucible) - Compatible with plugins/mods that use scoreboard teams (TAB, permissions plugins, etc.)

---

Notes

- Clients without the mod may still be limited by vanilla constraints. - Excessively large values can cause visual issues or incompatibility with other mods/plugins. - Designed to be safe by only modifying prefix/suffix fields.

---

Use Cases

- Longer rank tags (e.g., `[Admin]`, extra info) - More detailed tab list formatting - Servers with heavy customization of scoreboard teams
