Plugin FakePlayers

FakePlayers, customize your server’s player count

FakePlayers is a Java Bukkit and Spigot plugin that lets a Minecraft server modify the player population shown in the multiplayer server list. Administrators can set a fixed number of online players, add that value to the real count, and adjust the maximum displayed slots. This creates the appearance of a busier community without blocking genuine players from joining.

Depending on its configuration, the plugin can also simulate player names in the tab list and hover preview, with changes that follow players joining or leaving. It is useful for presentation and testing, although transparency remains advisable. At BoxToPlay, we present it as a configurable tool for shaping a server’s public status.
