    This is something I really feel like would help players, especially new ones. I have seen this on other servers, most recently, a server that I was an admin on before. I found this to be very convenient. The tab would be on all the time, and on the right side of the screen with information. This information would include the following:
    -Name of the server: which is Skyblock of course.
    -Number of players currently online: Just in case they want
    -The Player's Rank: For the player to know what rank they are (Which they should already know, but it would make a nice touch).
    -Number of Moderators online: This I feel like would come in the most handy. I have seen players ask if there is a moderator on. currently, in order to check they have to do the /list command, which ends up popping in the chatbox for them. With the tab however, it would show the number of moderators on, and possibly even the names of the moderators online if possible. With that, they wouldn't have to do the /list command to check and see if there is a moderator. (Of course I know you can do /list tmod, mod, smod etc, but still, the tab would save time and make it easier in my opinion)

    This would save time:
    I am a person who likes to make things as fast and as efficient as possible. This side bar would save 5-10 or more seconds roughly. We won't have to type /list and the information will be right there and readily available without having to lift a finger. I noted people ask if a mod is on, then in time someone will reply, or they are ignored when a heavy debate is going on in chat. The person in turn waited for a reply from a mod, or from a player who tells them how to find if there is a mod on. Like I said, at times this suggestion would only save a few seconds, but at other times it would save a lot of time depending on the situation.

    I haven't really thought of what other information might be included, but I feel like adding this in-game tab would look pleasing and show information relevant to the current server stats. I feel like the number of moderators online would also be very helpful in saving time. This is merely just a suggestion, I would like some input on this. Also, if anyone could think of other helpful information that could be included in the tab, that would also help :D. Let me know your thoughts.


    Below is a comparison of what we have compared to an idea of what we would have with an information tab:

    As you can see, the tab wouldn't take up too much space and if you replace the words in the tab with the information that I suggested be in the tab, you could see the convenience, not to mention that the tab wouldn't take up as much space, and unlike /list, it wouldn't take up chatbox space. Currently when we type /list, we have to scroll up or down (Granted that the mods will be at the bottom so we will be able to see them), however with the tab we wouldn't have to type /list to see if mods are on, and it wouldn't take up chatbox space.

    Neutral.
    /list shows the number of players on and the rank of everyone. Considering you can only get new ranks from donating, I'm pretty sure most do know their ranks. Also, there are various commands that show mods online, including a message when they first join. It would be nice, but isn't needed. I would rather have some of the glitches fixed.

    True. But if there was a tab you wouldn't have to do a /list command to see if a mod is on.

    got ya, make sure to leave a no support if you don't support. I mean you don't have to. But it would help the moderators and admins see the statistics.

    It's what cyp thinks, not anyone else. If he likes the idea he'll add it. Supports, and no supports do not matter.

    I would also like some input from others. Maybe come up with other things that could be added that would be convenient to have in the tab. I mean what I mentioned are just few things that could be added in it. My purpose in proposing the tab idea is for the sake of convenience.

    Just want to thank you guys for your input, both non-supporters and supporters have given good input. Like I said, it's just a thought that popped in my mind since I have seen it on other servers. Thanks for the input so far.

    No support, I don't want it getting in my way.
    Sidebars can be used well, but I just don't think this is the server for it.
