pastebin works as well

remove AnimaBossbar

it registers it's own player expansion for some reasons and seems to be broken anyways, seeing the amount of errors it throws

use another plugin for bossbars like TAB which you already have

[austere hawk]

Someone is gonna help me or what ?

I dont get an error at the console for using that [console]

It dosent work

[junior musk]

what if you do /papi parse <player> %statistic_deaths%?

does it return the correct value in chat?

[sweet vapor]

https://imgur.com/a/IqBrqDp

[sweet vapor]

no

[junior musk]

did the player ever join the server?

[sweet vapor]

yes

and he have deaths

[junior musk]

does the command work when the player is online?

[sweet vapor]

and when he's on i can do this but when offline i cant

[sweet vapor]

yes

[junior musk]

then maybe it doesn't work

I thought it did, but maybe it doesn't actually support offline players

[sweet vapor]

how can i make sure

[junior musk]

well we just did

if it doesn't work, then that means it's not supported

[lime wigeon]

thx

[turbid geyser]

I have an issue where %server_online% is returning the incorrect amount of players. I've traced this back to a plugin that is using NPC's as some sort and in an ticket the dev claims that the plugin counting the players is in the wrong: https://gitlab.com/TauCu/modispensermechanics/-/issues/9#note_1593766530
Does anyone have experience with this kind of issues / is there already a fix available for the Server expansion?

[real parrot]

Any ideas why this placeholder dont works from console? (but works from player using /papi parse me)

  var max = BukkitServer.getOfflinePlayers().length
  for (var i=1; i < max; i++) {
    i += 9
    var score = PlaceholderAPI.static.setPlaceholders(BukkitPlayer,"%ajlb_lb_statistic_hours_played_"+i+"_daily_value%")
    if (score <= 0) return i.toFixed()
  }
  return -1
}
getNextScore()
getNextScore()```

[still torrent]

Hello, script plugins and plotsquared plugins do not work in the scoreboard for my aternos server. When I try to download it from Papi, it says there is no such plugin, it used to work 2 years ago

[junior musk]

because you're using BukkitPlayer in the setPlaceholders, which returns the player instance, which doesn't exist for console

you could use null instead

[junior musk]

it's probably built within the plugin now

[still torrent]

Can you upload plotsquared expansions to ecloud for me?

[junior musk]

.

the expansion is inside the plugin

install the plugin and it'll load the expansion automatically

no need to download anything else

[dense trail]

does anyone have a template for an if else statement placeholder with a permission requirement?

Or perhaps a switch if thats more beneficial

[vivid sparrow]

The server expansion simply uses the Bukkit api, Bukkit#getOnlinePlayers and then calculate the size. If their NPCs count as real players to bukkit, that's on them

[junior musk]

if that's the case, then you might want to ask the NPC plugin's dev to make a PAPI expansion with a placeholder returning the amount of real players excluding NPCs

[sharp bloom]

use the placeholder system from eco or tab

[turbid geyser]

I understand, thank you for your answer

[dense trail]

Elaborate?

[sharp bloom]

smh :/ u are a support in eco and u don't know how u can make your own placeholders w the eco system in libreforge?

ask exan he knows

[dense trail]

I've never used that feature legit never

[sharp bloom]

L bozo :/

[dense trail]

quit being sarcastic for once, it's annoyting kris

hi

[turbid brook]

The PINGER expansion in the check_interval: 30, I want to know if it is in ticks?

[lone cobalt]

Ive been always trying to find a better way of handling colors mostly, for example for ranks, so i can change them easily, ive been wondering how the performance of placeholders are, specifically javascript ones, because the idea i had is to make many javascript scripts for each color and then whenever i need the color of a rank forexample id call the placeholder, but for example for menus this would be like 20 times on a single load, every chat message, is it a bad idea?

[mint fable]

probably not a great idea tbh

changeoutput mmight be able to do what you need though

not really sure what that is

[lone cobalt]

Unless im missing a functionality seems a bit away from what i need

[mint fable]

do you use luckperms

[lone cobalt]

I more mean, for example we have 3 ranks and each with color admin: &c , guest: &7 , user: &4

Lets say i use these colors in like 20 menus and countless plugins, i want a easy way to change for example users color top &8

[lone cobalt]

yes

[mint fable]

you could store the color within luckperms meta I think

although, actually that might be an issue currently with dm

[lone cobalt]

could i retrieve it with a placeholder?

[mint fable]

yes

[lone cobalt]

eh its any plugin unless u mean something else

[mint fable]

https://github.com/HelpChat/DeluxeMenus/issues/13

but i would give it a try

even if you can't store the color &7 maybe just storing 7 could work

[lone cobalt]

Still not what i mean

Well maybe it is

any idea how to grab a specific groups prefix and not the players?

[mint fable]

/lp user/group <user|group> meta set <key> <value> [context...]

doesn't need to be prefix/suffix fyi

[lone cobalt]

good to know

[mint fable]

can be any meta you want, just namme it color

[lone cobalt]

How could i retrieve the admins group meta data without having the admin group?

dont see it on LP wiki

[mint fable]

ah man I don't think you can

buttt

I saw a good idea once

save all the colors to the default group's meta

like

color.admin

color.default

and then %luckperms_meta_color.admin% should work

for all players

interesting way to store data

but

[lone cobalt]

thats a good idea

[mint fable]

global variables that persist upon restart

[lone cobalt]

How is the performance over btw? Never have looked into it or ran into any issues

[mint fable]

lp is usually pretty good about their performance

so I'd imagine pretty good

[lone cobalt]

Well i mean more Placeholder side of things

The whole interpolation stage

[mint fable]

papi is pretty basic, it's really just a base api

performance good

[lone cobalt]

Alright will do ur idea, very good one

[mint fable]

can't take all the credit, but no problemo

[lone cobalt]

either way big kiss

[plush dove]

Is there a placeholder for what block a player is in?

[lone cobalt]

in or on?

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#player

%player_block_underneath%

thier docs are hella good should use them ;)

[lone cobalt]

sorry if the ping is unwanted but any ideas to make something like this work? %luckperms_meta_color.%luckperms_highest_group_by_weight%%

[tender vapor]

Hey!

Please respect the rules, be patient and don't ping staff members!

Barry's Anti Abuse System | v1.4.9

[lone cobalt]

dont want to add the meta to each rank separately

[mint fable]

you can try {} for the inner placeholder instead of %%

if it doesn't work, get the utils expansion and do it

[lone cobalt]

No docs for them?

dont really get how u meant to use the utils placeholders

[mint fable]

check the ecloud for github

download link

[lone cobalt]

Can you send the thing from the bot agian? Dissapeared dont know what the cmd is for the bot

nwm found it :)

%utils_parse_luckperms_meta_color.{luckperms_highest_group_by_weight}% very long one indeed, just for color :)

Okay apparently my chat format is so long its recognized as a link :)

Thanks for help Cj really apreciate it

[jagged snow]

hi, I'm used command: /papi ecloud download SpeedPerSec and get error: Failed to find an expansion named: SpeedPerSec

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders#speedpersec

[vivid sparrow]

thats because it is not verified, you have to download it manually https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/speedpersecond/

[broken cipher]

hello
how to parse raw placeholder value?

&4Test exactly like this

/papi parse me %placeholder% outputs colored one

[sharp bloom]

u can use the utils expansion and the %utils_uncolor_{placeholder}% https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/utils/
/papi ecloud download utils
/papi reload

[broken cipher]

is it possible to use placeholders inside of placeholders and to what extent? or that depends on per each expansion?

like can i use changeoutput and inside of it this %utils_uncolor_{placeholder}% (which as you can see will have {placeholder} inside of this utils uncolor + that will be all inside of changeoutput; is this possible now?)

and if it is possible, how? will %utils_uncolor_{placeholder}% become {utils_uncolor_{player_name}} inside of changeoutput?

also, is this normal?
https://imgur.com/4g1psml

whatever the {placeholder} i try, it always surrounds it with %

[broken cipher]

@sharp bloom ?

[sharp bloom]

ooh opsie try %utils_uncolor_display_name%

[sharp bloom]

probably {utils_uncolor_player_name}

idk what u r trying to make :/

gimme the specific placeholders

[weak tundra]

Is there a way to get the date when a player first joined?

[junior musk]

Utils doesn't require the {} around the placeholder

%player_first_played%

I am currently running pufferfish 1.18.2
What could it be? Should I reinstall placeholderapi?

However, the placeholders work nicely, the problem is the error in console which I hate to see.

[broken cipher]

is javascript expansion safe to use?

i see it won't autocomplete when i type /papi ecloud download Java

for everything else it does

i know there was some exploit or something

why is it unverified? is the exploit still present?

[lament acorn]

Fixed by reinstalling

[junior musk]

reinstall the Bungee expansion

[junior musk]

it's not verified because it can indeed be used for bad things, but if use correctly or if you do small calculations and have your permissions an plugins set up correctly so normal players can't placeholders at will, then you should be fine

[broken cipher]

ok so i can use it for things like timers or whatever, and no other player can access it without permission

ok i thought something is very wrong with it and that's why it's excluded from being verified

thanks for clarification

so we must manually download/add it?

[junior musk]

yeah

though I think one of the main point was also that Aternos didn't like that people could download the expansion and run code

[broken cipher]

yeah understandable

[lament acorn]

yea i did xd

bungee expansion gives lots of errors idk why

[junior musk]

which version are you using? (/papi info Bungee)

should be 2.3

[lament acorn]

i fixed it

thanks tho

[junior musk]

how? 👀

[real parrot]

null or --null?

[tender vapor]

📋 Your paste, met1360

--null is in the /papi parse command you run in game, you have to use null in JS to say you don't have any player instance

I want a way to be able to have a placeholder with the name and descriptions of these

[mint fable]

okay, just know that all placeholders will start with your identifier

so you could make it %mycustomexpansion_explorers_expedition welcome_description%

you'd have to split the parameters on a space ( ) so you can get the name first

[oak sail]

ahhhh

does it support spaces?

[mint fable]

ofc

[oak sail]

interesting

how would I do this in the code btw?

[mint fable]

possibly, but I would cache the values from config into memory

[oak sail]

how do I do that?

[mint fable]

retrieve all the config info when the expansion initializes and store it to a field variable

then retrieve it from there when the placeholder is requested

otherwise you will be making a call to the config every time the placeholder is called

which could be multiple times per second

[oak sail]

idk how to do that 😅

[hushed cedar]

How can I fix this placeholder?

%checkitem_amount_<modifier1>,<modifier2>,<...>% is the example in the description of CheckItem Expansion.

%checkitem_amount_<totem_of_undying_>,<%metadata tag "exploder" of attacker%>%

%metadata tag "exploder" of attacker% is a metadata tag made in skript that returns the playername

[junior musk]

the syntax changed, now instead of having [precision:0] you have to do %math_0_<expression>%

also make sure you have the Bungee expansion downloaded

[junior musk]

remove the <>

[twin breach]

how do i set the server: survivalsf and nether?

Hi, anyone know how to get total player online in "velocity"

in bungeecord i have to use %bungee_total% but in velocity what should i install and use?

[junior musk]

https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/player-j17/
%player-J17_block_looking_at:[distance]_[type|direction|data_[<index>|<key>]]%

[junior musk]

You'd have to change the player's data in your world folder, I think it's the <PLAYER UUID>.dat files

[junior musk]

I think this should work as well, as long as you have one of Velocity's feature enabled that allows for bungee channels or smth

bungee-plugin-message-channel = true

[rigid locust]

Where this config file?

Ah in velocity config right?

[junior musk]

yes

[old ibex]

Does anyone know how I can reset everyone's placeholderapi data for example players kill. Even after deleting all player's data in the world file it still didn't get deleted

[junior musk]

did you delete the world while the server was shut down?

[old ibex]

I didn't delete the world I only deleted the players data in the world files

And yes the server was off

[junior musk]

I'm not sure how where it could be saved then

[old ibex]

is there not any command to reset an API data to all players

[junior musk]

🤷PAPI doesn't store the data, MC does

PAPI just retrieves it

[old ibex]

Oh I understand thanks

I deleted the player data file and the stats file is there any other file I need to delete in the world folder?

[junior musk]

I don't know

I thought it was just the player data file but apparently not

[sharp bloom]

the stats folder

[tender hill]

Anyone got a fix?
https://paste.helpch.at/bujiyadela.swift

[junior musk]

remove the _ from your identifier

also, the String in onPlaceholderRequest is not the entire placeholder but only the params

so you just have to check for level_pl, not societyunites_level_pl

[plush dove]

Checking it out, but is it able to get the coordinates of the block I'm looking at? That's what I was needing

[junior musk]

yup

I think

wait

wait don't tell me I forgot to add that

I forgot

🥲

I'll add it tomorrow

[plush dove]

😂 thank you very much

[sharp bloom]

tan any idea how do fix this :/ ?
%math_0:_4*{utils_parse_checkitem_amount_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..executableitems:ei-id=oak_{deluxemenus_meta_craftplanks_STRING_wood}}%

aa %math_0:_4*{checkitem_amount_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..executableitems:ei-id=oak_{utils_parse_deluxemenus_meta_craftplanks_STRING_wood}% seems to work

nvm smthing is wrong now cause it returns 0

the %utils_parse_deluxemenus_meta_craftplanks_STRING_wood% returns wood

so %math_0:_4*{checkitem_amount_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..executableitems:ei-id=oak_wood}%

[sharp bloom]

this alone works fine

so i guess its something in the utils that i am missing? :/

or mby combined with the rest it doesnt get parsed properly?

normally it would return an issue or smthing on console but i only get 0

smh smh i just had to use utils in the start

[junior musk]

gg

[ocean beacon]

solved ?

Hello everyone, we are using a custom javascript code that @junior musk helped us write. We have ChatControlRed for chat formatting and it uses DiscordSRV to send messages from discord to in-game, however, this %javascript_getPrefix% placeholder shows as Error: Player is null when a message is sent from discord when the player isnt online. Is there anything we can add to the javascript code to fix this somehow?

function getPrefix() {
  var donator = "%luckperms_prefix_element_highest_on_track_donator%";
  var player = "%luckperms_prefix_element_highest_on_track_player%";
  var tag = "%eternaltags_tag%";

  // For non-donor players
  if (donator === "") {
    if (tag === "") {
      // If no tag is equipped
      return player;
    } else {
      // If a tag is equipped
      return player + "" + tag;
    }
  }

  // For donors
  if (tag !== "") {
    // If tag is equipped, return donator rank and tag
    return donator + "" + tag;
  } else {
    // If no tag is equipped, return donator and player rank
    return donator + "" + player;
  }
}

getPrefix();

[junior musk]

not really, this script depends on an online player so this can't work

I don't think JS even supports offline players

it seems related to the javascript expansion? either update if u have an old version, delete it, or mby a js needs an update? idk one of these possibilities

[junior musk]

1h,no sorry, I had a massive headache since yesterday, pain in the back abd everywhere in my body at the same time 🥲 I barely slept at all XD I'll see if I can add it later

I'll see if I can do that as well

i like how my profile looks here now

everything is purple

[vivid sparrow]

I know some of you wanted a count up placeholder, so here it is 🙂

[sharp bloom]

wow very useful indeed

rather than using the wacky js

whats its format?

dd/mm/yyyy? or mm/dd/yyyy

[vivid sparrow]

same as for countdown

default is whatever is set in papi config, which is MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss

[sharp bloom]

hot

i ll probably use it w utils and localtime too

to make smthing fancy

[vivid sparrow]

[plush dove]

Nono, take your time and rest up!

[warm topaz]

what is this abomination

why is that default 😔

[vivid sparrow]

You can now get the x, y and z positions, as well as get fluids/sources
Ex: %player-j17_block_looking_at:10:fluids_x%
(10 is the distance, fluids means any fluid layer is taken in account, you can also use sources to only take full water sources)

[plush dove]

❤️ thank you so very much!

[rigid egret]

uhmm hello I use this plugin: Player Profiles
There are certain placeholders when a visitor opens his profile.

But the problem is that it lists the visitor's placeholder.

Is there a target placeholder for this?

I tried the ParseOther plugin and it still didn't work.

[plush dove]

Is the target online?

[junior musk]

You'll need to ask the PlayerProfiles' dev to parse placeholders for the target instead of the viewer

[rigid egret]

yeah

It captures the placeholder of the person who opened the menu.

example:
%mmocore_level%

my level: 10
Other player: 15

but when I open his profile it shows 10.

[rigid egret]

uhm, I thought maybe I could solve it with placeholder.

[junior musk]

that's not really possible

[granite kernel]

How to reset a placeholder's data

o i see. my bad there

[dusky thunder]

Hi there! I need to return a value in an NBT, and I tried using checkitem's getinfo but I can't seem to figure out the syntax for it. The few things described are very "yes/no" oriented

Is it possible to return a value? In this case it's just a numeric value

[turbid tide]

should be %checkitem_getinfo:<slot>_custommodeldata%

[dusky thunder]

the tag in question is PublicBukkitValues..score:usage

[turbid tide]

replace slot with the slot number or mainhand or offhand

oh. nbt value

nvm

for some reason I was thinking of just custom model data

[dusky thunder]

Heh it's alright, thank you though

is "mat" supposed to work with getinfo?

cause when I try it returns nothing

[turbid tide]

Acording to the github page, it should

%checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_mat%

try this

and see what it returns when you hold the item in your main hand

[dusky thunder]

it returns blank for mainhand and 0

the item is in slot 0

[turbid tide]

@mint fable any chance you can help here?

[turbid tide]

are you using the latest version of CheckItem?

[dusky thunder]

I just updated a moment ago so I'd say I am

[turbid tide]

ah. we need the columns

[dusky thunder]

columns?

[turbid tide]

%checkitem_getinfo:0_mat:%

[turbid tide]

bad english 🤣

[dusky thunder]

omg is it just cause of the colon at the end??

hold on

[granite kernel]

@turbid tide please

help

[turbid tide]

there is a statistics directory in the world directory

actually it is called stats

[granite kernel]

oh

tysm

[dusky thunder]

Alright with your help I've managed to return all NBT tags of the item, even though I tried to specify a path

[sharp bloom]

@dusky thunder %checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_mat:% for the mainhand

[dusky thunder]

Thank you, mainhand is not the thing in question. Trying to return the value of a specific NBT

[sharp bloom]

oh

i think i can help w this one too

[dusky thunder]

still appreciated

Yea? I've gotten to the point of returning all NBT tags and their values, but I need a specific one

/papi parse me %checkitem_getinfo:0_nbtints:NBTTagCompound:PublicBukkitValues{"score:usage"}:% - currently the command I'm working on modifying

[sharp bloom]

u trying to check for score from the executable plugins right?

[turbid tide]

/papi parse me %checkitem_getinfo:0_nbtints:PublicBukkitValues% does this get you any closer?

[dusky thunder]

trying to find the usage in EI yes

[dusky thunder]

Ah sorry I explained myself poorly. Every PublicBukkitValues tag comes from this string

which is the same result as the one you posted Blitz

[turbid tide]

I don't think you can check compound tags with checkitem expansion

from what I can see it only works with basic int and string values

[dusky thunder]

I was thinking if you can do yes/no, you should be able to just flat out return the value though?

[sharp bloom]

can u send me the usage from the item?

[dusky thunder]

usage is 1991

[sharp bloom]

%checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..score:score-usage=1% try this

[turbid tide]

how do you do it for yes/no?

[sharp bloom]

this one might be close

but it will return an x amount not yes/no

[sharp bloom]

i ve used this for the variables, havent tried usage before

[dusky thunder]

that one is described at the bottom of the wiki for checkitem

[sharp bloom]

that doesnt use getinfo tho

[dusky thunder]

Okay I'll check it out one moment

[dusky thunder]

was just answering Blitz' question

[sharp bloom]

oh

[dusky thunder]

returned blank

[sharp bloom]

smh :/

lemme do few tests too

[turbid tide]

Maybe %checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..score:usage

[dusky thunder]

I tried that already, it led me to the longer string I wrote

[turbid tide]

well, my knowledge really ends here.

[dusky thunder]

That's okay, thank you very much though! You've gotten me so much closer

[dusky thunder]

ah you might be very right about this, I just found out it says "yes" at any value, not just the specific usage the item has

[sharp bloom]

omg i m dumb @dusky thunder kekw

its an int value

%checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_nbtints:PublicBukkitValues..score:usage=1%

boom

found it

[dusky thunder]

it returns all compound tags, not just the value

[sharp bloom]

try this ^

[dusky thunder]

oh wait I accidentally added a colon

[sharp bloom]

[dusky thunder]

okay so

it returns 0

[sharp bloom]

[dusky thunder]

but the usage is 1991

[sharp bloom]

bruh?

do u hold the item that has a usage?

[dusky thunder]

I got it

%checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_nbtints:PublicBukkitValues..score:usage=101% instead of score:score-usage

"101" is random

Thank you so much!

[sharp bloom]

but i didnt ay score:score ;-;

[sharp bloom]

^

[dusky thunder]

oh it was quicker for me to just arrow up and modify sorry 😂

in-game

originally you said score:score-usage

[sharp bloom]

yeah well, i changed it :/

cause i used the example for the variables

[dusky thunder]

Yea I didn't notice

Yea

THank you!

[sharp bloom]

thats what u use for the variables for an item

You can give Placeholder for kills in the arena itself and not in the general one? plugin Bedwars1058

you maybe have any insight on why this is happening?

No

The leaderboards plugin might have a permission to hide players and ig you have it

[23:54:43 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause: '{aureliumskills_power}-10' is not a valid Math expression.

This placeholder is on my scoreboard and parses fine, but why does it say it's invalid at first? Sometimes it's also messed up on the scoreboard too on joining and I have to reload the tab plugin to fix it

[sharp bloom]

maybe it's under 0? and it doesn't return a negative value?

[warm plover]

It results in 27

Like it shows fine on the scoreboard, I just wanna get rid of the error lol

[sharp bloom]

probably for different users?

[warm plover]

It's only me online dunno if that makes a differnece

[sharp bloom]

try changing it to 10-aurelium

oh

well try the change and see idk :/

i ve had similar weird issues too

[warm plover]

Well changing it would make it -27

So idk how that'd work lol

[sharp bloom]

right

what about

hmm lemme think

[warm plover]

I'm gonna try delaying the scoreboard

I dunno if that'll help but maybe it's parsing before the placeholder registers or smthing

nope ;-; rip

[sharp bloom]

yeah the {aureliumskills_power} doesnt get parsed

normally it works tho right?

like /papi parse me %aureliumskills_power%

[warm plover]

Ye

It parses as 37

[sharp bloom]

when exactly do u encouter that error?

on start up? or randomly

[warm plover]

When someone joins when the start starts

[sharp bloom]

joins for the first time, or joins back to the server?

[warm plover]

Joins for the first time since the server started ye

[sharp bloom]

ye makes sense

probably the scoreboard tries to parse if faster than the aurelium has data on that user?

simply a guess tho, i dont have any idea

but it would make sense for aurelium to take 1-2 seconds to "create" a user

[plush dove]

Does anyone know a placeholder that will repeat a character for defined times?

For example %repeat_$_3% would show $$$

I could use javascript and a for loop, but JavaScript isn't optimized

[vivid sparrow]

Do you remember adding smth like this to the string expansion @turbid tide ?

[turbid tide]

Nope. The expansion doesn't have this feature.

It does sound like something it should maybe

[vivid sparrow]

Yeah I can make a pr

[turbid tide]

👍 please do. Don't forget to update version please so I can just release it on ecloud

[sharp bloom]

hey bliz, could u look at yourself the material: placeholder- and maybe open a github issue?

for example if u use placeholder-%player_item_in_hand% that item wont be updated if u re open the menu

unless u /dm reload

which wasnt the case in one of the previous dev builds

[junior musk]

oh yeah I see why it does that

the material is parsed and then replaced

but when the menu reopens/refreshes, the material stored isn't a placeholder anymore, but the previous parsed output

[sharp bloom]

ye weird :/

[sharp bloom]

i noticed it yesterday with my enchant gui too, while i was trying to help someone displaying their slots

[vivid sparrow]

Looks like a bug introduced by accident

[sharp bloom]

https://imgur.com/2ETCbHV

the "stone sword" is the main hand

i even tried 3 different methods to check if it was an issue w dm

placeholder-%parseother_{{player}}_{player_item_in_hand}%
placeholder-%parseother_{{player}}_{checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_mat:}%
placeholder-%utils_parseother:[player]_{checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_mat:}%

[turbid tide]

@sharp bloom wann test this build? Should fix your issue.

[sharp bloom]

sure thing sexy

lemme backup my menus first

i just realized that my menus are even bigger in size than the jar itself

[turbid tide]

I personally tested it with this:

  'random_material':
    material: placeholder-%string_random_DIRT,GRASS_BLOCK,DIAMOND_BLOCK,GOLD_BLOCK%
    slot: 7
``` and whenever I close and open the menu, I do get one of those random materials

[sharp bloom]

aight i ll test it w my enchant menu, since it used to be fine before the placeholder change

material: placeholder-%player_item_in_hand%

[sharp bloom]

yeap all good now @turbid tide at least with that ^

i need your fix with the escape chars

and escaping it with a \ the yaml parser has a mental breakdown

as far as i know in order for nbt check to work you need to pass in a material as well

that gives 4 decimal places, I need 4 characters total

so including the whole number 3

I need it to give 3.14 or 3.145 (ignoring the decimal)

not 3.1415 (4 decimals, currently does this)

yep it shows decimals, even though precision on EvalEx BigDecimal shows otherwisehttps://imgur.com/a/p3RfVzl

[craggy turtle]

hmm what about rounding down with 4?

%math_4:DOWN_3.14159%
should be 4 numbers total right?

okay yeah i tried it thats for decimal places and not precision, yikes

i found this but its unlikely that yu want a whole other expansion for handling it

yeah idk it doesnt look like it will work

[hollow fog]

hi there, sorry if this is long, i'm just going to try to explain as best i can.

i had a question about the local time placeholders, i was trying %localtime_timezone_<TimeZoneID>% which shows the date and the time, the timezone we use is America/New_York, but the date is in the dd/mm/yyyy format instead of mm/dd/yyyy format like it would be in New York 😅 is there any way to change that, or a different placeholder i should be using instead?

i noticed with %localtime_time_<SimpleDateFormat>% i can use EEE, MMM d, yyyy which is what i was wanting, and then i noticed %localtime_timezone_<TimeZoneID>,<SimpleDateFormat>% which i thought would be a combination of the SimpleDateFormat i choose and local time for the TimeZoneID i choose, but it seems to only be showing me the SimpleDateFormat i choose and not the time for the TimeZoneID at all, am i doing something wrong? I was trying:
%localtime_timezone_America/New_York,EEE, MMM d, yyyy%

[proven monolith]

please help me, I made a js.I expected it to output is int, but instead it outputs floating point numbers. This is code. var sum = 0;
sum += parseInt('%bungee_BedwarsLobby-1%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-1%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-2%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-3%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-4%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-5%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-6%', 10);
sum += parseInt('%bungee_Hbedwars-7%', 10);
sum

Thanks everyone, I solved it, because I accidentally installed an extra version of the expansion

[vivid sparrow]

Use the math expansion @proven monolith much better

[proven monolith]

Got it ，I will try it.Thank you

How can I get the placeholder to see someones health with the playername before like:

%<name>_health%

[junior musk]

%parseother_{<name>}_{player_health}%

[barren bramble]

does placeholderapi support 1.20.4

[junior musk]

yes

[timid fox]

How to apply placeholders with custom braces using the API?

[junior musk]

PlaceholderAPI.setBracketPlaceholders(OfflinePlayer, String)

[timid fox]

But where do I specify the bracket there is only 1 string parameter

[junior musk]

ah

you can't modify the brackets

it's either %% with PlaceholderAPI.setPlayers(), or {} with setBracketPlaceholders

[blissful wave]

Hello is there a way for a backend server to retrieve a proxy placeholder? Example: i need to find a way of telling on which server other players are without using proxy plugins. Well i can use a proxy plugins but the information needs to be sent to the backend also so when i do papi parse me %server% for example it would tell me. I need it for a plugin that couldn't be installed on proxy but on the backends.

[junior musk]

Without a proxy plugin to send the info to other backends, that's gonna be hard

and PAPI doesn't have any way to do that either way

[blissful wave]

There could be a proxy plugin but i need for it to send it to the backend not just to the proxy. Do you know any?

[vivid sparrow]

Use the proxy plugin to request the value from the server where the player is

Proxy plugin requests %player_health%
Spigot plugin replies with 20

[mint fable]

@broken locust can you try updating the expansion first, and if that doesn't work, please provide the exact placeholder you are having an issue with

[copper osprey]

ñ

[blissful wave]

idk if im being understood, i want to know the name of a server or at least world (that could also come in handy) of player on one server while on another server but does plugin like that even exist?

[sharp bloom]

there is a placeholder for the player world yes its in %player_world% in the player expansion

?player

[tender vapor]

FAQ Answer:

Player placeholder not working? If you are using a plugin which supports PlaceholderAPI, and the %player% placeholder doesn't work, then change it to %player_name% and download the player expansion.
Commands:
/papi ecloud download player
/papi reload

Requested by: kristophergeou • player

[sharp bloom]

now for checking in which server a player is, i am not really familiar with the existence of such expansion

[copper osprey]

Help, my server says: Invalid signature for profile public key. Try restarting your game.

[blissful wave]

The %player_world% is good but it works only on the current server right? if i wanted the name of the world a player player is playing on another server papi wouldn't send the packet across the proxy right?

[sharp bloom]

yeap only current server

eh i dont think it can send across proxy? but maybe there is a plugin that does that

[barren bramble]

where do i find placeholderapi for 1.20.4

[warm topaz]

latest should already work

Is there a placeholder extension that makes a leaderboard for random player things? Deaths, block breaks what not, i see a statistic one, but one that puts them in a leaderboard?

[warm topaz]

use ajLeaderboard plugin

[midnight egret]

%statistic_break_item% working but %statistic_break_item:coal_ore% not working, why?

[vivid sparrow]

break_block, break_item refers to fully using an item like a pickaxe

[midnight egret]

Showing "Unknown statistic 'BREAK_BLOCK'."

[vivid sparrow]

mine_block

But not working on Paper 1.20.4

[vivid sparrow]

yeah idk then, it should be fine

[midnight egret]

and not working COAL_ORE

Im using PlaceholderAPI 2.11.5 but is it updated for 1.20.4?

Because some placeholders not working

%statistic_mob_kills%
%statistic_player_kills%

[cosmic needle]

What does it say?

[midnight egret]

Unknown statistic 'mob_kills', check https://helpch.at/docs/1.20.4/org/bukkit/Statistic.html for more info

But this link is not working 😄

[vivid sparrow]

https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Statistic.html

Im not sure why the placeholders don't work and afaik this is the only report we got so far

[midnight egret]

Just showing this without any console error or any message

[junior musk]

works fine for me

or maybe not

it doesn't seem to change at all

well tbf the mine_block stat has always been weird and broken XD

[midnight egret]

I solved %statistic_mob_kills% to %statistic_MOB_KILLS%

But BREAK_BLOCK not working again

it randomly got back working for me for some unknown reason

Hello, I have a problem with a variable that won't let me download

It's the one from world, it won't let me download it, help me

[cloud moon]

Does the latest version fix this issue?
https://imgur.com/a/lsSZg2U

I have been getting some random console spams

[junior musk]

your tabplugin is trying to parse an animations placeholder which requires a player and doesn't provide one

[remote oracle]

Why you can no longer download the World expansion with a simple command

😭

[junior musk]

because the expansion hasn't been reverified since it got updated

idk why but noone has done so

[vivid sparrow]

I will do it later, is it yours?

[cloud moon]

So its the tab plugin issue?

[junior musk]

nope

[junior musk]

yeah

[remote oracle]

The plugin is not mine, it's just that since I saw it on the wiki I thought it could be downloaded with the command. 😅

[cloud moon]

Thanks!

[junior musk]

it can if verified, but when an expansion gets updated, it looses its verified status (so we can make sure that the new jar is safe)

it was once verified and I see no reason why it shouldn't be anymore, unless the author left a malware in there lol

[rare stag]

Hello, is there a placeholder for showing the name of a player who executed a command?

Example: %executer_player_name% did %command_executed%

[junior musk]

There isn't

I do wonder what would be the purpose?

in what kind of plugin would you use that?

if it's a plugin that listens to commands executed, then they probably have their own placeholders for that already

[rare stag]

Its only for a plugin that you can send as whatsapp messages, and when you send them it only show: (Player who recived the message) > Hello

Like, you dont know who sended it, it only shows YOUR name and not the sender's one

[junior musk]

which plugin is that?

is it a custom made one?

[rare stag]

Roleplay Plugin Messages

It has PlaceHolderAPI support, when I contacted the developer he just said: There might be a Placeholder for that

[junior musk]

I'm not sure I fully understand

the plugin is for sending messages to WhatsApp, right?

and you want to get a command executed from where?

how do you know which command you want

[olive forum]

Hello, we created our server for Bedrock players and Java players, so we also use geyser. With Java and Bedrock on the phone everything works without any problems. For example, as soon as we have a Bedrock player with the PS5 or a Minecraft for Windows player, the client crashes immediately if you enter a "/" as the first character. We have now been able to limit this to 2 plugins, which is Redischat in conjunction with Papi. If you deactivate it, Bedrock players can use the "/" without any problems. Unfortunately, there is no error message in either Bungeelog or the server log. Can you check what could be the problem?

[junior musk]

I'm not sure how PAPI could affect that, it doesn't modify the gameplay in itself, it only provides tools for other plugins

[rare stag]

Hear me out, When the SENDER sends a message to someone its all good, but, when the person who RECIVES reads it appear like this: (PERSON WHO RECIVED IT) > (message), I want a placeholder of the name of the person who sended it

[junior musk]

ah

[rare stag]

So it would look like this:
Send: (Person who sended it) > (message)
Recive: (Person who sended it) -> (Person who recived it) > (Message)

Now its clear?

[junior musk]

yeah

[rare stag]

Now, what Placeholder or plugin should I use?

[junior musk]

you could use %player_name% -> %player% in the sender/messager's message, and %player% -> %player_name% in the receiver's message

%player% is from RoleplayerMessages and will show the other player, and %player_name% is from PlaceholderAPI and will show your name

[rare stag]

Hmmm, It might work

Ill update you anything, thanks

[novel ferry]

Hello, I have a problem with a variable that won't let me download

It's the one from world, it won't let me download it, help me

[vivid sparrow]

download it manually from the ecloud

[olive forum]

New info, it only affects the Windows Bedrock client. I also gave all the information here to the Redischat dev. One of the plugins must be causing it.

[junior musk]

couldn't it just be a bug in the client?

or even on Geyser's side, since it works perfectly fine for Java clients

and you said it works for all Bedrock platforms except one

so it could be either a Geyser or client issue

I really don't see how PAPI or a chat plugin could make a client crash

[olive forum]

Well, as far as I know, this occurs on 5 Windows Bedrock clients (different PCs and locations), so I don't assume it's a client problem. If we don't use a chat plugin or Bungeechat or CMI chat instead of Redischat, everything works without any problems. If Redischat is active without papi, it works too. therefore it is one of both plugins.

[merry juniper]

New server only PlaceholderAPi and Redischat client Windows Bedrock crashed.

Server Server only RedisChat everything works

[olive forum]

Tronix and me are from the same server

[vivid sparrow]

PlaceholderAPI has nothing to do with bedrock. Try to contact the devs of whatever redischat is or what other plugin is causing issues.

[merry juniper]

Of course, GEyser has to be on it for Bedrock to work on Java

[merry juniper]

And Redischat says we should ask you

I or we think the error lies with Redischat

[vivid sparrow]

PlaceholderAPI is just a bridge between multiple plugins, it doesn't do much on its own, therefor it is very unlikely it can cause this issue. Also, bedrock problems are not our concern since we don't have any support for it 🙂

[merry juniper]

We will then forward your statement to RedisChat

[vivid sparrow]

perhaps share the error

[merry juniper]

Error is good, it just crashes when you enter a slah, there is no error or I don't know where the crash report from Bedrock is on the PC

[junior musk]

Maybe the issue comes from a PAPI placeholder that's used in RedisChat (which would explain why it doesn't happens when you remove PAPI), try to remove your PAPI's expansions folder, restart the server and try again

though I wonder how this could be happening

and what placeholder could cause this

[vivid sparrow]

good point

[merry juniper]

We also assume that, possibly an incorrect integration of the API, etc. Nevertheless, thanks for the quick help.

We will try with the expansions folder

No, deleting the extension folder didn't help. As soon as I type a slash, an immediate crash occurs

[junior musk]

[warm plover]

What’s the likelihood that an expansion that can print a players face (colors and all) could be made

[junior musk]

0

[warm plover]

dang, why’s that?

[junior musk]

well it depends

[warm plover]

I was thinking like:
%playerhead_skin:[URL]_row:1_column:1%, this is a simplified example but yeah

[junior musk]

it could be done 2 ways:

• some plugins send messages on join with your player head made out of lots of characters in color over multiple lines, a placeholder could just return that same thing
• if you want a small icon, as in 1 character, you'll need a resource pack

[junior musk]

yeah so you're likely wanting option 2

and I'm not even sure if that's possible

[warm plover]

It’s not possible from what I know, only player heads can do that

[junior musk]

because it'd mean that you'd have to update the resources pack everytime a player joins with a new character with that player's face and idk if that works

[warm plover]

I was looking for option 1 specifically

[junior musk]

then that could be made, though idk how xD

[warm plover]

Thing is I don’t know how I’d make it, maybe commission someone for it but I’m not sure if anyone would take it haha

I know someone has an API for player heads in chat not sure if that could be used in it

[junior musk]

🤷probably

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/player-head-in-scoreboard.613076/#post-4653534

uh, so you can update resources packs midgame

but yeah either way that's for option 2, and you want 1

[warm plover]

probably wouldn't wanna do that but it's always an option

Thanks for the resource though, good info 🙏

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/chathead.71036/

This is the API I was talking about

[junior musk]

that's probably what I thought of as well

but yeah, if we just do the same thing as that plugin does, but in an expansion instead, you'd have the same thing

[warm plover]

Yeah only thing is I can't but those heads in other plugins via a placeholder lol

I guess I don't technically need the placeholder, I could always just paste the result of that plugin, it's for a very specific use case so I'm still thinking i tout

[junior musk]

from what I can understand, the magic starts here https://github.com/Ugleh/ChatHead/blob/master/src/main/java/com/ugleh/chathead/command/CommandHead.java#L68

I can try to see tomorrow or another day if I'm able to do anything

[warm plover]

That'd be awesome

I did just try the plugin on a localhost and it's a bit rough, might be too outdated

https://imgur.com/a/PfBqRRi

[junior musk]

it'd probably just be copy-paste, except that I'll make it so RGB actually works since 1.16 added that

[warm plover]

https://i.imgur.com/sjyjK5W.png

[junior musk]

ah lol

exactly what I thought of

rip rgb

the plugin hasn't been updated since 2019

anyways, I'm off to bed, see ya

[warm plover]

Good night

Will continue the hunt 🫡

[analog oak]

why does this doesn't work? /papi parse me %math_1+27000[precision:2]% in math expansion

[junior musk]

the syntax changed

it's now %math_2_1+27000%

[warm plover]

Hey, just wanted to let you know I got a solution

There is this plugin called ChatImage, and the developer is going to be working on placeholders, so you could do any image not just skins! Pretty cool if all works out

[junior musk]

👍

Hey that's a nice imag- OH GOD

[analog oak]

Oh okay thanks

[bronze shell]

Hi there, i have a very weird issue with a changeouput placeholder, and i'm not sure what is causing it

when my cient do /papi parse me %mmocore_cooldown_bound_1%,
he get the expected result of 0.0
but when he do /papi parse me %changeoutput_equals_input:{mmocore_bound_1}_matcher:noskill_ifmatch:0_else:{mmocore_cooldown_bound_1}%,
the output is "> mmocore_bound_1" instead of giving out the value of the mmocore_bound_1 placeholder.

am i missing something ?

it gives this output in both scenario whether the input equals "noskill" or not

[mint fable]

type /papi parse me %mmocore_bound_1% @bronze shell

[bronze shell]

oh yeah sorry i forgot to precise that

the %mmocore_bound_1% placeholder is also working fine

[mint fable]

wait, I'm a little confused here

you said

the output is "> mmocore_bound_1" instead of giving out the value of the mmocore_bound_1 placeholder.

the output is > mmocore_bound_1?

or is the output mmocore_bound_1?

[bronze shell]

it literally gives the text "> mmocore_bound_1", it doesnt give the value of the %mmocore_bound_1% placeholder

[mint fable]

really, the output should be either 0 or the {mmocore_cooldown_bound_1} placeholder

[bronze shell]

ikr 😭

[mint fable]

it should not be returning mmocore_bound_1 at all

what you're describing should be... impossible

[bronze shell]

not all my client have this issue, it's specific to this client who did a fresh install of my product. i checked everything with him and everything is correct, down to the placeholderapi config

[mint fable]

is your client able to come here for support?

I have to leave really soon, but somebody else can help for sure

what your client said seems impossible

[bronze shell]

sure i could ask him to, but i don't think he can help much more than me since he doesn't know how the product works in details

[mint fable]

mmocore_bound_1 should not be returned in chat at all

and I have no idea where the > is coming from

[bronze shell]

same 😭

i asked him to redo the papi command and to show me how he wrote it down in minecraft chat

[mint fable]

I'll be back later if you still need help

but just to re-iterate: the output should be either 0 or the {mmocore_cooldown_bound_1} placeholder
NOT "the value of the mmocore_bound_1 placeholder" as you stated earlier

good luck 🙂

[bronze shell]

yeye both output is what i'm expecting but im not getting any of those two

he sent me this screenshot
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1192936296553922691/1193989524808806400/2024-01-08_15.48.06.png
the "you are still trying to complete a command" message seems highly suspicious.. it's not something that comes from papi, is it??

you can see he wrote the command correctly, and that the weird output is shown in chat

[junior musk]

idk what it is but that's probably the cause

the chat shouldn't look like that at all XD

[bronze shell]

okay so it's not papi

[junior musk]

unlikely

[bronze shell]

time for the client to have fun and disable his plugin one by one

[bronze shell]

Bingo, it was a plugin called "CommandPrompter" that was breaking everything

it's all good now

[junior musk]

how can it even do that XD

[mint fable]

lol he was stuck in commandprompter

should've typed cancel

(I see they did, it definitely bugged lol)

very odd never heard of that with commandprompter 🤷‍♀️

[junior musk]

same

[sudden gull]

how to remove kit perm I want everyone to have it not only people with permisions

[restive nova]

how to make placeholder inside placeholder parsable in my plugin?

any code example?

[junior musk]

it depends on the placeholders you use

some placeholders like Math support placeholders within them if you use {} (for example: %math_{server_online}+1%)

though not all placeholders support that, and they only support 1 level of nesting, if you need more or want to do it for placeholders that don't support this, you can use the Utils expansion as such: %utils_parse_placeholder1_{placeholder2}%

[restive nova]

I mean I want to implement it in my plugin

[junior musk]

you just parse placeholders normally with PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(OfflinePlayer, String)

[mellow trout]

hello friends

I am looking for a mspt placeholder for my server, do you know any placeholders?

I use purpur and I will not use plugins like tpsbar or tabtps I will add this mspt value to a menu.

[celest plover]

https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/buycraftapi/ can I be verified pls

[mint fable]

Your expansion has been unverified for inclusion of metrics since PAPI already includes it's own bstats. https://api.extendedclip.com/usage

I also noticed on spigot you pushed 4.6, but ecloud still has 4.5, just FYI.

||There also seems to be a lot of unnecesary classes in your exported jar file that weren't present in versions below 4.5||

[neon anvil]

is there any way to make a placeholder all caps?

[balmy marten]

Yea, the String expansion should do that
%string_capitalize_<string>%

So this would force %player_name% to return with all capitals %string_capitalize_{player_name}%

[neon anvil]

so instead of percents can I do {string_capitalize_luckperms_highest_group_by_weight}

[balmy marten]

Should do, give it a whirl

[neon anvil]

ok, will try out. thanks

[balmy marten]

The outside placeholders will need %%

[neon anvil]

?

[balmy marten]

depending on the plugin you're using it in

[neon anvil]

featherboard

[balmy marten]

oh

Then yeah probs {}
