For proxy tablists, scoreboards, surfaces, connection messages, and MOTD management, see Velocity Proxy. The instructions below cover the server edition.
Gloss draws text, menus, and item displays in the world and on the HUD: holograms, panels, scoreboards, tablists, chat effects, and the server-list MOTD.
