FakePlayersOnline
FakePlayersOnline
This plugin allows you to add additional fake players in your server player list, which you see when press "tab"-key in game. Fake players could be added manually or you can use NPC's name to show at player list.
This plugin is using library ProtocoLib to provide a fake information at server list menu. If ProtocolLib is not installed you will not be able to add fake players to your server.
Features
- Colorize real players name in list. In addition you can define color for name of your server admin group
- Display fake player names in list.
- Display NPC's (provided by Citizens plugin) name in list
- Add/remove fake players
- Override /list command and show same information as in TAB-list
- Fake serverlist menu to show fake counters for online players, reserverd slots and motd.

Metrics and update checker
FakePlayersOnline includes two features that use your server internet connection. First one is Metrics, using to collect information about the plugin (versions of plugin, of Java.. etc.) and second is update checker, checks new releases of FakePlayersOnline after plugin startup and every half hour. This feature is using API provided by dev.bukkit.org. If you don't like this features you can easy disable it. To disable update checker you need to set parameter "version-check" to "false" in config.yml. Obtain more information about Metrics and learn how to switch it off, you can read here.

The commands don't seem to work in the CMD window
So you want a server to show more players than actually are playing so when people search for servers with players in them they will have a hard time finding a populated server because your empty servers will show up?
Great idea to kill the game. Thanks.
Great plugin, but rsod is right. It's need also increase players count in server and also in /list it does not shows them. ;(
the overall idea is nice, but if be honest, actually it doesn't does its job - not increasing overall player counter, in essentials /list command also fake players not showing, "not finding" player if try /tell him somebosy
@masterolos09
v0.0.3
Please update for 1.5

@JeffMeikle
It works with 1.4.7 (you will receive in server.log message that it was not tested with 1.4.R1, but will work fine).
I did not check Citizens2, because our server is still using Citizens 1.x - there's lot of quests and we cannot easy turn to Citizens2.
You can try to disable NPC's name using /fpo npc command. There could be an error while plugin trying to connect to Citizens, but it will work anyway. I hope :)
Its great but can u make it so that when u leave it shows how many players are online? For example: 98/100
could we get an update please good sir? thank you, it loads... but crashes, fails with citizens 2
