Playercount

[clever talon]

Hey, I want to have a placeholder inside my hologram that says how many players are online on a different backend server. I installed Miniplaceholder on both Velocity and Lobby server but when using <proxy_online_players:survival> the text doesn't get replaced with the player count of the server. I also set the update interval several times and tested with /minimessage parse me <proxy_online_players:survival> without any success. When I executed /vminimessage parse me <proxy_online_players:survival> it worked, but the hologram plugin doesn't use the velocity minimessage. Does anyone know how I can get the player count successfully that I can display the counts on my lobby server?

You can use Papi bungee instead

[clever talon]

But I don't use bungee and don't want to use it because velocity is more modern and secure

[harsh gazelle]

Try that but change <servername> to your velocity servers name. for example %bungee_lobby for lobby. I know it says bungee and your using velocity but it should work. you will need to run the commands /papi ecloud download Bungee then /papi reload for the placeholders to work.

[harsh gazelle]

This is what makes me thing it works with velocity.

[clever talon]

I tested it and it doesn't seem to work. Parsing %bungee_total% or %bungee_lobby% returns 0. There are also no errors in the console of the lobby and the proxy server.

[harsh gazelle]

So are you in the lobby server?

[clever talon]

When I am on server x I can see the count of server x now but not of server y also PlaceholderAPI installed and ecloud bungee. When I am on server y the parse says server x is 0

[harsh gazelle]

Hmm. I've used velocity before but not for long lol. I will see if i cant find you another way of fixing your issue!

[clever talon]

Thank you for your efforts

[harsh gazelle]

/papi ecloud download Server /papi reload And see if this works %server_survival_online%

[harsh gazelle]

Last resort is this plugin. TAB this plugin is a scoreboard and tablist plugin but we just need the internal placeholders from it so you can just disable all of that in its config,yml and after its installed this placeholder should work when you replace <servername> with your actual server name. %tab_placeholder_online_<servername>%

[harsh gazelle]

If this don't work. Sorry im out of ideas to fix it!

[clever talon]

Is this tab plugin also compatible with Neznamy's tab plugin, because that's the plugin I'm currently using and I'm not really willing to switch to another plugin

[mortal hollow]

It's TAB by NEZNAMY from what I can see.

Maybe you need to enable bungeecord plugin messaging or something similar in the velocity config.

[harsh gazelle]

Tom it is the plugin by Neznamy

So you dont need to instal it again

[clever talon]

Oh ok that plugin is already installed also the TabBridge on every backend server. But unfortunately the placeholder returns an empty string.

[clever talon]

Ok thank you for all effords you made for me

[mortal hollow]

Did you try this maybe?

I know it used to fix the issue with moving players between servers. I think player counts are also checked via plugin messaging.

[clever talon]

I can try it later but this is not a solution for me because I don't want to use the legacy protocols

[mortal hollow]

Fair
