# 🚀 Introduction

Tired of players joining your server, seeing an empty tab list, and leaving immediately? **FakePlayers** is the fix. It’s a smart, high-performance plugin that makes your server look busy and inviting 24/7. It populates your server with fake players that act so much like real people—with randomized pings, organic chat, and realistic movement—that nobody will be able to tell the difference.

#### ⭐ Key Features

* **6 Dynamic Modes** - Use Low-Playerbase mode to automatically fill your server when it's empty, or choose from Percentage, Multiplier, Schedule, Random, and Static modes.
* **Organic Behavior** - Fake players mimic real human patterns with randomized ping, session durations, and join/leave intervals.
* **TAB List Integration** - Populates your TAB list naturally, making your server appear active to anyone currently logged in.
* **Server-List Presence** - Injects fake usernames into your MOTD hover-menu to attract more clicks from the Minecraft server menu.
* **Overhead Names** - Supports custom overhead names, allowing fake players to display ranks or prefixes just like real players.
* **Command Stealth** - Fake players show up in autocomplete for commands like /msg, /tpa, and /seen, making them indistinguishable from real players.
* **Immersive NPCs** - Hooks into Citizens/EssentialsSpawn to create NPCs that wander, look around, and go "AFK" to populate your spawn.
* **Lively Chat** - Includes smart, configurable typing simulations and chat patterns that only trigger when real players are present.
* **Performance Optimized** - Built with asynchronous processing to ensure minimal impact on your server's TPS during normal operation.
