[junior musk]

I'm so sorry 😂

[steel obsidian]

nah it's alr

thanks for your assistance

I even wrote requierments in the second item 😭

that's why both didn't work

man

[junior musk]

happens

sometimes I add an s to view_requirement or click_requirement and wonder for hours why it doesn't work

[steel obsidian]

I checked that hoping it was the issue*

didn't realise it was the one below

I am making rank upgrades in my server, so if like a user buys a rank it shows him the second one and for a cheaper price instead of buying it instantly for a higher one

would be cool

[half jacinth]

It says there are no updates available for this expansion...

[half jacinth]

oh

[real plover]

Do someone know what's the cause of this bug?

[junior musk]

try 2.11.6

[turbid tide]

Execute /papi dump and send the generated link here please.

[half jacinth]

<link removed by me>

[real plover]

thx. It work now, i tried this version earlier and it didn't worked that's weird

[turbid tide]

Now you seem to be running the newest version of the expansion. Do you still get errors?

[half jacinth]

Yeah

1s

actually

This issue seems to have corrected itself

This there a way to delete this?

[turbid tide]

Hmm. I don't think there is a way to do so. Is there a reason you want it removed?

[half jacinth]

It has the servers version and stuff all on display

That is my only reason

I dont really care

But I would prefer that it was removed.

Wait I can literally just delete the messages

im stupid

thx cya!

[ionic spade]

I think I have a issue.. When multiple players are online, the coin placeholder (I’m using CoinsEngine) seems to bug out. For a few milliseconds, it briefly shows another player’s coin balance before switching back to the correct amount.

I’m displaying the placeholder through the BetterHUD plugin, but their support hasn’t been helpful—they’ve probably been ignoring me for a while.

Any ideas on how to fix this or sommething?

[limber abyss]

can someone help? when ever i donwload papi it just causes random events at random times. i dont know why its not anybody else on server and its only when i have the plugin installed. i have screenshots too

[urban fjord]

i have been trying to download the papi dependencies for a while like a good 30 mins any help on why its not working?

omds this log doesnt want to get pasted this day couldnt get any worse

https://paste.helpch.at/eqehihipoq.bash

[prime rock]

Hey guys, I'm tryna implement placeholder requirements to one of my plugins and im kinda stuck on something

Does placeholderapi support inner placeholders?

like %math_%player_level%>10%

it works when i add an extra % to the beginning of player_level like %%player_level% but lefts an % in

[rare orchid]

Hey all, is there a placeholder that will list all installed plugins?

[turbid tide]

There isn't one that is standalone. I did see this plugin had one though: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/30-off-usm⚡-1-13-1-21-⭕-manage-your-server-easily-⭕-plugins-files-stats-and-more.112006/. Not sure I'd install an entire plugin just for a placeholder and I can't tell you what exactly this plugin does and how good it is at it

[turbid tide]

So, PlaceholderAPI does not support inner placeholder. However, some expansions, such as the Math expansion do support inner placeholders with a different format. In your case, it would look something like this: %math_{player_level}>10%.

[turbid tide]

I don't see any mentions of PlaceholderAPI there but check the repositories you've declared. Some time ago the repository url had to change. It is now https://repo.extendedclip.com/releases/

Also, it seems that you have a failure connecting to maven central Connect to repo.maven.apache.org:443 [repo.maven.apache.org/199.232.80.215] failed: Connect timed out

[prime rock]

yep, i figured that out, thx

[urban fjord]

do you know any way to fix it?

[urban fjord]

its still happening to me till now

[urban fjord]

update version to 2.11.6

[ionic spade]

someone? :p

[elfin scarab]

any idea how to disable worldguard messages ?

/rg flag region deny-message -e i found this but is it correct ?

[warm topaz]

this will be an issue with either the plugin ur displaying the placeholder in, or the placeholder expansions
placeholderapi will simply return whatever value its given, so if it works in /papi parse me %placeholder% command, then the issue will be elsewhere

[fast grail]

Hello, I don't understand how placeholders work with args. I mean, I want, for example, the placeholder %player_gamemode% to show the {target} gamemode.

[fast grail]

Like i tried %player gamemode_{target}% but didn't work

[brazen orbit]

/papi parce {target} %player_gamemode%

[fast grail]

/papi parse {target} %player_gamemode%only shows the player name and then the gamemode of the player. Can't i just use %player gamemode_{target}% or something like this? I only want to show the gamemode

[brazen orbit]

I'm not sure what you want to do
Do you want to find out the gamemode of a player or display it?

[ionic spade]

Okay thanks. 😼

[fast grail]

To display the gamemode of the player

[fast grail]

Can you help me, please?

[brazen orbit]

just use %player_gamemode%
it gets replaced with the gamemode of a player in places that it's supported

if you use this placeholder and it doesn't work it is not supported

if it shows the wrong gamemode you're using it in the wrong place

[silk cradle]

whats the newest version that works with java8?

[turbid tide]

Latest release on spigot will work with java 8

[silk cradle]

Nope

[turbid tide]

What do you mean by "Nope"? Do you get any warnings/errors on startup at least if it doesn't start?

[silk cradle]

It said some shit about java version

Like 65 or something

Which means it needs java 21 or newer

I tried 2.10.10 and that also had that error

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI is compiled to target Java 8. It should work just fine. Have you downloaded it from spigot when you received this error?

[silk cradle]

Uhm, where else can you even download it

[turbid tide]

Jenkins

or sometimes there are builds sent here

[silk cradle]

well its probably from spigot

[turbid tide]

Can you please try once again the latest version from Spigot and send the startup log here?

[silk cradle]

pretty sure my hard drives arent dead lol but sure why not

well turn out a ecloud plugin was compiled for java21 and i justfailed to notice

silly me

redownloading it with ecloud fixed that

kinda wierd but ok

[turbid tide]

Everything works now?

[silk cradle]

i hope

[swift stream]

ok

[zealous sky]

hi, is there a palceholder that parses the placehodler value from another player? Similar to /papi parse <player>.....

[turbid tide]

There is an expansion called OtherPlayer that does what you want

[junior musk]

ParseOther*
OtherPlayer is very limited

(and there's also Utils too :D)

[zealous sky]

thanks!

[turbid tide]

Ah yeah. I was thinking of ParseOther

[zealous sky]

Oh, it is giving me an error T-T

But thanks for the help!

[turbid tide]

We can try and help with the error as well maybe?

[zealous sky]

Oh, it looks like it is a version problem, but thanks for the support

[round epoch]

Hey, someone know why my placeholder is not register on my plugin?

    public static void sendColorFormat(Player player, String message) {
        String spigotMessage = HexaColorSupportUtil.hex(message);
        PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, spigotMessage);
        player.sendMessage(spigotMessage);
    }

[round epoch]

but work if I /papi parse me

[junior musk]

because you forgot to reassign the spigotMessage string to the result of the PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders function

[lofty rampart]

I want to display information about %floodgate_isBedrock% (plugin floodgate) about each player. I have a TAB plugin. He adds a belowname string where placeholders can be placed, and when I insert %floodgate_isBedrock% there, the information is displayed not by the player who has this belowname, but by the one who is watching. For example, I log in from the Java version, and the players under the nickname who play with the Bedrock version display false, and if I log in from Bedrock and look at the players who play with Java, they display true. I can assume that the placeholder takes information from the player who "sees" this placeholder, and not from the player above whom (belowname) it is located. How can I make sure that the players have their client (Java or Bedrock) displayed above the nickname from which they logged on to the server. The first screenshot is from the Java Client, the second screenshot is from the Bedrock Client. Thx

[round epoch]

do you have an example ? plz ?

[junior musk]

literally add spigotMessage = in front of the 3rd line you sent

you called the PAPI method, but aren't using its result

you just have to save it in your string before sending it to the player

[round epoch]

Thanks, I just saw, I'm stupid

[austere hawk]

hi
placeholder %bungee_myserver% which i placed in plugin znpc plus displays incorrect number of players on server i need

when a player enters the server, it says that my server's online is being replenished, but when I connect to his server and write **papi parse me %bungee_myserver% ** it shows that there is 1 player on the server I need, although in fact there are 2

[stoic pelican]

When or where to look for working CheckItem expansion for 1.21+?

[cinder orchid]

How to transform the result of a placeholder

I would like the result of %essentials_fly% to be OUI or NON

[turbid tide]

You can use the changeoutput expansion

It can take in another placeholder as input, then compare it to a value you give it and give a different result based on that comparrison

But also, all the boolean placeholders (thouse returning yes or no) can be customized in the PlaceholderAPI config

So, if you want to change all placeholders that return yes/no, you can do it from the config

[cinder orchid]

thx

Have you tested this version of PlaceholderAPI? #placeholder-api message

[simple dawn]

im adding a custom placeholder to my teams plugin. the main usage for this is adding it to an executableitem to get the team name of a player. I have two questions

how can i add an arugment to the placeholder (ex: %steams_<player>_team%)

how do i make it so that the executableitem plugin can access it

heres my code:

public String onRequest(OfflinePlayer offlinePlayer, @NotNull String[] params ) {
        if (offlinePlayer != null  && offlinePlayer.isOnline()) {
            if (params.length ==2 ) {
                String playerName = params[0];
                String command = params[1];
                if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("team")) {
                    TeamManager teamManager = new TeamManager(teamData,schmuglTeams);
                    return teamManager.findPlayerTeam(playerName);
                }
                
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

[junior musk]

params is a string, not an array, you can split it however you want, in your case, split by _
and since player names can have underscores, I'd recommend you take the last element of the given array, and then substring the original params string to get the player name

and unsure what you want to do with ExecutableItems

[simple dawn]

I’m just not sure how to integrate the placeholder into an EI

for example, if I type my placeholder into an ei it should work whenever the ei tries to use it. I’m not sure how to do that

[turbid tide]

I think this question is better suited for the EI team

We're not familiar with their API

[open belfry]

Hi! I created a MineClan plugin that includes its own placeholder (%mineclan_clan%) and I would like to publish it to PlaceholderAPI. I noticed that the link to the GitHub repo is not working. What are the current steps to publish my expansion to eCloud?

[turbid tide]

Hello. To publish an expansion on the ecloud, you need an account. The account creation is a manual process that one of our admins would usually complete.

This is to stop spam accounts from being created. There is one important rule for account creation:

ECloud expansions (external Jars) are generally reserved for cases where no external plugin is required for the expansion to operate correctly. If your expansion is dependent on another plugin to function it’s highly recommended that it be built into that plugin, you can find how to achieve that here. This aids with ease of use and version handling.

If you have a good reason to have the expansion be external/different jar, please let me know and I'll forward your request to our admins.

[open belfry]

the thing is that I have a plugin, right? and I want in the sternalboard when I type %mineclan_clan% it shows the clan I am in (if the player doesn't have a clan then it shows none)

[junior musk]

That doesn't prevent you from including th expansion within your plugin?

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/creating-a-placeholderexpansion/#making-an-internal-expansion

[open belfry]

Can you create an account on ecloud for me so I can put this placeholder?

[junior musk]

No, we told you already to include the expansion in your plugin directly

[open belfry]

Only I want it to be in ecloud

[junior musk]

Blitz already explained why we'd rather have expansions requiring a plugin to be included inside said plugin instead of on the ecloud

There's no reason for you to have it on the ecloud instead of inside the plugin

It's an extra step for you to upload to your expansion every time you have want to update it, and then wait for it to be verified every time
It's an extra step for users to download the expansion from the ecloud, while having to make sure they're using the right version of the expansion for your plugin's version
And it's an extra step for us to manually verify your expansion's code every time you update it

Just include it in your plugin, and it'll be fine, it'll do the same thing but easier, and with no extra step for anyone

[open belfry]

So I already have my own placeholder in the plugin?

[junior musk]

Add them within your plugin, yes

[junior musk]

I sent you the wiki page explaining what you need to do for it to work

[open belfry]

not working

[junior musk]

define "not working"

and I did everything right. I use sternalboard, what should I do

which placeholder did you use?
what does it show in scoreboard?
what's the code of said placeholder?

[floral crane]

Hey guys
is there a placeholder or expansion than can tell how many entities there are per world ?

the server expansion only gives the total

[warm topaz]

maybe world expansion

[junior musk]

doesn't seem like it

[turbid tide]

@open belfry I just want to clarify some stuff with you because it seems there was a misunderstanding.

PlaceholderAPI lets you register 2 types of expansions: internal and external.

Internal expansions are built directly into your plugin.
External expansions are built separately and require to be downloaded and installed manually (or with the ecloud command if they are published to the ecloud).

Only external expansion can be published to the eCloud.

Since you are creating your own plugin, you should build your expansion directly in your plugin. From the dump you sent, it seems that you have not properly registered the expansion. You can follow this tutorial on how to create internal expansions: https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/creating-a-placeholderexpansion/#making-an-internal-expansion. If you are having problems even after following that part of the wiki, please come back with code. (We need the expansion class and the code where you register the expansion).

[floral crane]

checked that too, it doesn't give those stats
at this point i'm looking at plugins like plan etc

[turbid tide]

I wish we had access to the World expansion. There's so many simple placeholders that we could add to it.

[junior musk]

yeah

wasn't it open-source at some point?

[turbid tide]

It was but it was on thienbao's github since I believe he made it. But I can't find it anymore. He either privated it or deleted it.

I just found it... https://github.com/WickyPlays/World-Expansion

I had a fork. Last time I searchd my github, I didn't select "All"

[rigid comet]

Hello, how can I change configs?

I can't find a config file in the "PlaceholderAPI" folder.

[floral crane]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/World-Expansion/issues/1
hmmm blitz.. i see you

[rigid comet]

@idle coral @gleaming charm @junior musk

[rigid comet]

ok lil bot

[turbid tide]

Did the plugin enable?

PlaceholderAPI I mean

do you see it colored green when executing /plugins?

[rigid comet]

Yes

[turbid tide]

Have you tried restarting your server? And the config still doesn't show up?

[rigid comet]

YES

[turbid tide]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but in your plugins/PlaceholderAPI, you don't see a config.yml file?

[rigid comet]

Yes

[turbid tide]

Not sure how that can happen. Can you send over your startup logs?

[summer tulip]

Anyone sure how i can grab the amount of players connected on a certain velocity server?

and even globally connected to the proxy

[turbid tide]

The bungee expansion was abloe to do that. Might not work anymore.

Will require you to enable BungeeMessaging in Velocity if you haven't already.

[summer tulip]

Are you aware of how I could do this?

[turbid tide]

You want to make your own plugin/expansion for this?

[summer tulip]

I am so confused on how other Velocity servers can do it

[turbid tide]

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand what you want to do here. Are you looking for an existent placeholder for this or are you looking to create your own?

[summer tulip]

I am looking for an existing one

I am wanting to just get the amount of players globally connected to the Velocity Proxy and players on a certain server

[turbid tide]

@floral crane @floral coral , I've updated the World expansion if you guys are still interested. I have added the following:

- %world_fulltime_<world>%           # Gets the full time the world has ran for (this value can be changed by plugins and does not update if the day cycle is stopped)
- %world_fulltime_strict_<world>%    # Gets the full time the world has ran for. It is the exact time that the world has ran for and can not be modified by anyone or anything. It only works on 1.16.5 and higher though
- %world_entities_<world>%           # Gets the entities count in a world
- %world_entities_living_<world>%    # Gets the living entities count in a world

I have tested it on a Paper 1.21.4 server with PlacehodlerAPI 2.11.6. It worked for me but would love if you guys tested it as well before I push it to the eCloud.

If you don't know how to manually install an expansion, here are the steps:

• Copy file to /plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions
• Make sure you don't have a similar file (maybe an older version fo the expansion) in the same folder. If you do, delete the old one
• Execute /papi reload

[turbid tide]

/papi ecloud download bungee
/papi reload

Then use:

%bungee_total% - count on velocity proxy
%bungee_SERVERNAME% - count on SERVERNAME

If it doesn't work, in your velocity config, make sure bungee messaging is enabled.

[summer tulip]

That worked thank you!

[floral crane]

thank you so much for this! 🙏
I'll test it and check if there are abnormalities

[turbid tide]

If you want to read the full changelog, you can here: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/World-Expansion/pull/4.

[blissful idol]

Hey, I just wanted to ask if anything has recently changed with the GUILDS placeholders in Essentials. I haven’t modified anything, and I left the configuration as it was, but suddenly the guild tag placeholder started showing up as {GUILD_PREFIX}in chat instead of displaying the actual tag. Other placeholder still works fine in another plugin I use — the issue seems to only affect Essentials. Any ideas what might be causing this?

[warm plover]

Heya, any idea what makes this happen with formatter?

[07:47:25 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [formatter] Cannot convert {servervariablesvaluecoins} into a BigDecimal.```

[warm plover]

Do you have a plugin that intreprets placeholders in chat, such as ChatInjector?

Not sure if that's the issue your having but yeah

[blissful idol]

Never mind, I’ve already figured it out!
It turns out that the issue was caused by a new option introduced in the latest Essentials update. By default, it's set in a way that breaks some placeholders — including the guild tag in my case.

To fix it, you just need to set chat.paper-chat-events to false in your config.yml.

Here’s the relevant explanation from the changelog:

However, if you use any plugins that rely on the legacy AsyncPlayerChatEvent, you may run into compatibility issues when upgrading to 2.21.0.
For now, you can switch back to the legacy events by setting chat.paper-chat-events to false in config.yml, but be aware this config option is not intended to be used long-term and could be removed in the future.
You should aim to replace any incompatible plugins with ones that support Paper's chat events

[zealous sky]

Hi, I am trying to use the placeholder %parseother.....% But I am getting this error:
https://paste.helpch.at/momiciwupa.css
Does someone knows what am I doing wrong?

[turbid tide]

Try

%parseother_{Zunalleing}_{ecoskills_taming}%

[elfin basin]

why does "/papi ecloud download Plan" not work? i wanted the Plan api for my leaderboard

[warm topaz]

plan doesnt exist on ecloud

i believe its already built into the plugin

you should see it in /papi list

[prisma olive]

hello, I have problems downloading the placeholder expansions, I put /papi ecloud download and no expansion appears to download.

[floral coral]

Thank you soo much! this is gonna help

[novel minnow]

i was told this place might be good for my issue, would i be able to discuss server/forward porting here?

[pastel totem]

hello ? any mods here

ive been looking for mineresetlite support is there any ?

[turbid tide]

MineResetLite is not developed or maintained by us. If they have an official help system (such as discord), then I'd suggest you ask there. If they don't, you can ask in #general-plugins and wait until (if) someone that has knowledge about that plugin answers you.

[turbid tide]

Try #minecraft

[pastel totem]

how about the world guard ?

what is the papi to know how many players are inside the specific region ?

[turbid tide]

You can find the placeholders for it here: https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/#worldguard. I can't see any placeholder showing what you need.

[junior musk]

that's were PlayerList comes in clutch https://github.com/Tanguygab/PlayerList-PlaceholderAPI-Expansion/wiki#list-of-players-in-a-worldguard-region

[turbid tide]

I keep forgetting that it exists but it is a good expansion

[pastel totem]

sir, i have reply in the mc plugin support list ^_^

[limpid pecan]

I took an example from the website https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/wiki/Community-Scripts#has-permission and I replaced the placeholder there with the one that I will use, but not the example, not my code does not work, other javascript placeholder examples from this site work, I connected the file correctly, all the necessary dependencies are also there, the placeholder that I want to use in the script is also working

file code

// create a variable and name it wantever you want like this
// and use the placeholder you want, i'm using this one
var haspermission = "%checkitem_amount_mat:string%";

// create a function with the name you want
function permission() {

// if the haspermission variable that we created before return yes (true boolean)
// the js placeholder will return what we set in the return down
   if (haspermission == 0) {
       return "&aYou have the Test permission!";
   }

// if the haspermission varibale wasnt true it will return what we set down
   else {
       return "&cYou don't have the Test permission!";
   }
}
// by this we are calling the function to run
permission();```
the file is connected correctly, if you insert another code into it, it will work.
```js
example:
  file: example.js
souls:
  file: souls_tag.js```

[floral crane]

tested and all works as it should ❤️
Question
you think it's possible to return the number of chunks loaded in each world?

the server expansion has the %server_total_chunks% placeholder but not per world

[turbid tide]

Yes it is possible. Will add it

[floral crane]

You rock!
The world expansion is slowly becoming a serverUtils Expansion ngl

[turbid tide]

@floral crane (and @floral coral if interested), I've added the following placeholder to the World expansion:

- %world_total_chunks_<world>%       # Gets the loaded chunks count in a world

But I've also made some changes to existent placeholders to better align them with the Server placeholders:

- %world_entities_<world>%           -->  %world_total_entities_<world>%
- %world_entities_living_<world>%    -->  %world_total_living_entities_<world>%

Also, the values of total placeholders (the 3 mentioned above), are now cached for 1 minute. This is also aligned with the Server expansion which does the same.

Will let you guys test first and will push to ecloud later.

[tender vapor]

There is no time to wait! Ask your question @modest ruin!

[floral crane]

I just tested it
There's a weird thing happening, when parsing the total chunks, the value remains 3 for all 3 worlds

i increased my simulation distance from 2 -> 5
it still remained the same

- %world_entities_<world>%
- %world_entities_living_<world>%

these ones also dont work
My server is a paper 1.21.1

i'll check on 1.21.4

doesn't work on 1.21.4 either

[olive current]

Hello, when I wanna integrate PAPI into my plugin, it returns the repository wasn't found..

[turbid tide]

I see where I've made the mistake. Will fix it later today

[turbid tide]

I think the repository on the wiki is the old one. The new one is: https://repo.extendedclip.com/content/repositories/placeholderapi/.

[floral crane]

Gotcha
Thanks again 🙏

[jade palm]

@Override
public String onPlaceholderRequest(Player player, String params) {

the code executed here is on main thread?

[somber marten]

Is there a way to limit math output?

So this %math_9e99999*9e9999% can't happen and crash my whole server?

Some plugin will use this value and just crash the hole server.

[junior musk]

depends on the plugin parsing the placeholders

[junior musk]

https://codeberg.org/Andre601/Math-Expansion/issues

[frosty lichen]

Hey guys what's wrong here

[jade palm]

Does it depend on the plugin that is using the placeholder?

[junior musk]

that's exactly what I just said, yes

[jade palm]

I hadn't understood very well. OK thanks

[cyan flower]

Hello! Im having an issue with placeholders not work at all and no error outputs to the chat/console, and the placeholders are not being replaced.
My paper version:

You are running the latest version
Previous version: 1.21.5-22-6c2b037 (MC: 1.21.5)

Command i use /papi parse me %player:ping% the output %player:ping%

Also i got the same issue in the TAB - "&7Ping: %player:ping_colored%" and it just shows Ping: %player:ping_colore%

Thanks in advance!

[junior musk]

you checked the wrong PAPI documentation 😅

those are Text PlaceholderAPI's placeholders (the Fabric mod)

Here's our PlaceholderAPI (for Spigot/Paper)'s placeholder list https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/

[cyan flower]

Ah my bad

Thanks for correction and for linking the propper wiki!

[astral ferry]

Hey, I'm trying to use this placeholder, but it just gives an error. I don't understand why. If I run it without parseother, the luckperms part works. I need to get the player name from a UUID.

%utils_parse_parseother_unsafe_{luckperms_meta_clans-{luckperms_meta_clans-list-id-3}-leader}_{player_name}%

[junior musk]

use Utils' parseplaceholder placeholder instead of ParseOther

%utils_parseplaceholder:[{luckperms_meta_clans-{luckperms_meta_clans-list-id-3}-leader}]_player_name%

[astral ferry]

Unfortunately that doesn't work, %luckperms_meta_clans-{luckperms_meta_clans-list-id-3}-leader% contains a UUID and I want to get the player's name from it.

[junior musk]

ah, didn't think about checking for UUIDs

I could add that

[astral ferry]

Really? That would be really cool 😄

[junior musk]

should work with UUIDs now

[astral ferry]

that was quick, thank you very much, I will test it right away 🙂

It works perfectly 🙏

[junior musk]

can you make sure player names still work ? 😅

[astral ferry]

yes player names are still working 😄

[junior musk]

perfect, thanks

[wary citrus]

someone can help me...

i need to get items adder id using a papi command

/papi parse me %checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_nbtstrings:% and im stuck in this part

with all the nbt info apearing in chat

how do i filther that..

[surreal vapor]

Can I somehow install a papi dependency (like luckperms,vault etc.) with my plugin?

[astral ferry]

Hey, does the placeholder also work with offline players?

[junior musk]

it does

though not all placeholders do

so while Utils will attempt to parse the placeholders you give it for offline players, if said placeholders don't support offline players, they won't return anything

[astral ferry]

Hmm okay, then player_name will not support offline players? because if I want to convert a UUID from a player to a player name that is offline, nothing is output.

[junior musk]

It should work with offline players

unless said players never joined the server (and therefore their name isn't cached), it should work

[astral ferry]

Ah okey I test it with a player who has often been on the server, I tried it again with the player name, that works, but not with the uuid

[sly wren]

Hi, do you know what's wrong with my dual condition?
%changeoutput_equals_input:{plasmovoice_hasVoiceChat}_matcher:true_ifmatch:{changeoutput_equals_input:{plasmovoice_microphoneMuted}_matcher:false_ifmatch: _else: }_else: %

if plasmovoice_hasVoiceChat = true and if plasmovoice_microphoneMuted = false, then  or else 

[pastel totem]

hello ? what is the placeholder for kills leaderboard ?

[junior musk]

this isn't supported, thouuuuuugh it can still be done pretty easily
%changeoutput_equals_input:{plasmovoice_hasVoiceChat}{plasmovoice_microphoneMuted}_matcher:truefalse_ifmatch:_else:%

assuming both else: are the same

[junior musk]

%statistic_player_kills% + ajLeaderboards

[last breach]

Why doesn't the deluxemenus plugin show the number when I type placeholder-%bolt_queue_PROFILE_UNRANKED_fireballfight_playing% in the value?

[rocky karma]

Hey, so i wanted to make some Leaderboards for my Server, the placeholder all work fine but they only update when i restart the server, ist that some kind of setting/config that im missing or how can i fix that?

[rotund pendant]

Where are you using the placeholders? (Eg. In a hologram, plugin gui, chat, etc)

[rocky karma]

in a hologram

[rotund pendant]

I believe it's down to the hologram plugin and/or the plugin providing the placeholders.

What happens if you reload the hologram plugin, does the placeholders update?

[rocky karma]

no, only when i restart the server

[rotund pendant]

What plugin is the placeholders from?

[rocky karma]

essentials and ajlb

[rotund pendant]

Oh, ajlb. I think they have a refresh property - one sec.

Is it a baltop leaderboard per chance?

[rocky karma]

for ex. if a Person has 3k Money and i pay him 1k and i do /money to that person i see 4k but if i do /papi parse me... its still on 3k

[rocky karma]

also

[rotund pendant]

Yes or no

[rocky karma]

its baltop, top kills and top deaths

[rotund pendant]

Do you have the same issue for all 3 leaderboards?

[rocky karma]

yea

[rotund pendant]

Check this
https://wiki.ajg0702.us/ajLeaderboards/faq#players-are-not-being-updated

[rocky karma]

what about the money lb, i do it with just &4%essentials_baltop_player_stripped_0% &8-&r &2$%essentials_baltop_balance_commas_0%

so i dont use ajlb there

[rotund pendant]

I think Essentials doesn't automatically update baltop for performance reasons, it does it every 30 minutes or something like that.

I believe you can force update with /baltop force iirc

[rocky karma]

ohh thank you, that worked, i just need to find a way that essentials updates more often xD

do u know by any chance if theres a config for that?

[rotund pendant]

A quick Google suggests its actually recalculated every 2 minutes.

[rocky karma]

mhh weird, it isnt updating for me tho

[rotund pendant]

Do you show up on baltop?

[rocky karma]

no, but i mean like the money of other player isnt updating

[rotund pendant]

Give it time

[rocky karma]

i mean i played yesterday for like 2h and it didnt update once

[rotund pendant]

Did /baltop update?

[rocky karma]

no

[rotund pendant]

Is the other player opted?

*opped

[rocky karma]

no

[rotund pendant]

I recommend having a look in Essentials' Discord about this, I can't find anything immediately obvious online about this issue.

[tiny sail]

where do i get the dev builds

[sly scaffold]

Can someone help me with the Math expression? I want to add to online players numbers together, but for what ever reason I get the correct number with three 0 decimals. I have tried to use the decimal parameter, but it says is would be default 0, so it makes no sense. Seems like the doc is outdated?
https://andre601.ch/expansions/math/#decimals

My string:
%math_:[0]_{bungee_survival}+{bungee_creative}%

This returns 17.000
17 is correct, but I do not want the .000 behind

This returns broken, even though it seems correct via the doc:
%math_[0]:[up]_{bungee_survival}+{bungee_creative}%

Resolved. If anyone searches for this at a later date, the correct format is:
%math_0:_{bungee_survival}+{bungee_creative}%

[turbid tide]

Try: %math_0:down_{bungee_survival}+{bungee_creative}%

This should rownd down to 0 decimals

sorry for the long text but how do i fix this

[turbid tide]

I don't think the CheckItem expansion was updated to support the latest versions of Minecraft.

[tiny sail]

would an update be pushed out soon to fix this?

[turbid tide]

Can't tell you that. @mint fable handles that expansion but I believe it is open source so anyone could techincally push a fix.

[torpid vortex]

  - player```

```lore:
      - "&f%parseother_{player}_{luckperms_prefix}%"````

It seems that it takes the name, but in the menu it does not work correctly, it simply does not show anything.

[tiny sail]

@mint fable could u help 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[tiny sail]

oops sorry

[torpid vortex]

Please help

[sharp bloom]

u can fork it and change the nbtapi version in the dependency

its nothing too complicated

overall it does work fine

[turbid tide]

%parseother_{{player}}_{{luckperms_prefix}}% try this. If this doesn't work, try %parseother_{{player}}_{luckperms_prefix}%

[turbid tide]

If you've done it, can you PR it? I think I might be able to merge PRs and then upload a new version.

[sharp bloom]

I didn't fork it directly i downloaded it first and then uploaded to my github :/

but ye i can try it's very simple

[turbid tide]

Yeah I just don't have time to do it. I have so much stuff on the todo list

[versed fossil]

how can i reset placeholders?

[torpid vortex]

Not work bro

[torpid vortex]

Sorry

If I use {{luckperms_prefix}} it returns {luckperms_prefix}, and using {{player}} it doesn't work either.

[tiny sail]

i have zero experience in coding, wdym by fork it

[sonic heart]

Is it possible to combine a placeholder in a placeholder? I want to combine: %checkitem_remove_inslot:X% with X = %randomnumber_value_0_41% ping me if you respond please since I probably wont be online by then.

[austere hawk]

i can only ecloud download 5 hooks max is that the limit?

my PAPI version is Version: 2.11.6

[balmy marten]

There is no limit, post any errors

[torpid vortex]

.

[torpid vortex]

.

[austere hawk]

There is no errors...

[balmy marten]

Then what are issue are you running into

[austere hawk]

I can only ecloud download 5 hooks

[balmy marten]

Can you describe what you're doing?

[austere hawk]

Trying to get 6-8 PAPIs that I need

[balmy marten]

As in expansions?

[austere hawk]

Yeah

[balmy marten]

Using the /ecloud download command?

[austere hawk]

Yeah

I have looked and I haven't seen a anything about limitations

[balmy marten]

Which one are you having issues downloading?

[austere hawk]

They are all saying they downloaded just once I reach 5 it kicks one out and replaces it with the one I recently downloaded

[balmy marten]

Hmm, can you run /papi dump for me and paste the link it gives you?

[austere hawk]

Sure but it's like 3am 😭

Give me 5 mins

Here: https://paste.helpch.at/ehewaceliy

[balmy marten]

Cool, thanks

Let's try manually downloading the expansion and placing it in the /plugins/placeholderapi/expansions folder

[austere hawk]

Yw :>

[balmy marten]

You can find the one you're looking for from here https://api.extendedclip.com/all/

[austere hawk]

Alr

Any limit on how many?

[balmy marten]

There's no limit

[austere hawk]

oke

[balmy marten]

Just only install the ones you actually need for performance reasons

[austere hawk]

yeah ofc

it says 7 now

should i install extensions like that now?

[balmy marten]

Can sometimes be more reliable depending on how your server handles downloading files

[austere hawk]

yeah im self hosting lol

[balmy marten]

Might be why

[austere hawk]

yuh

😢

ty anyway

[balmy marten]

All good

How can I do this in DeluxeMenus?

  must_be_mythic:

I just wanna check the group without using permissions

[cunning charm]

You mean you don't want to do this? Why?

permission: group.mythic

[frail sage]

I can’t use it ‘cause it conflicts with something I added. I just wanna check it directly.

[cunning charm]

You haven't really explained what you're actually trying to achieve and why you can't use the simple method as above.

[frail sage]

I set up the permissions to follow a rank hierarchy — like, every permission from rank A gets passed on to rank B and so on. I’m working on a rank-up system, and it works fine, but right now players can skip ranks when buying, which I don’t want. So I’m trying to fix it by locking it so they can only buy the next rank in line. Hope that makes sense. I’m not super good at this stuff, sorry

Hello. I have The newest version of funnyguilds and placeholderapi. I cant download funnyguilds placeholders. Any help?

when i type /papi ecloud download i see only factionsmap,factionsupdated,forgemodscontrol and formatter

you don't need to download anything, that plugin has its placeholder expansion built in

it should show in /papi list

Any idea why the player util not recognize the new max durability component?

/minecraft:give 0bviouslee wooden_pickaxe[minecraft:max_damage=100,damage=100] makes /papi parse me %player_item_in_hand_durability% still parses as 59 at max

Despite the item having 100 durability (and using the item to past 59 durability works, it parses as negative numbers tho..)

[brisk laurel]

does placeholderapi work on 1.21.4 or stuff like that

hello everyone, I need help with using WorldGuard's placeholder.
my spawn is located under 3 regions with different priorities, and the only placeholder to get the name of the region is %worldguard_region_name%, but it only returns one region name (and it keeps changing between the 3 of the regions), is there any way to return a region with the highest priority (or check if the placeholder contains a region name)?

[meager ravine]

thank for someone help me idk how to do with this error "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: name cannot be empty

[turbid tide]

Is there no stacktrace after this line (a multiline error)

[turbid tide]

I believe you are looking for this placeholder: %worldguard_<Any WG Placeholder>_<Priority (Lowest number = Highest priority)>%

I wanna make custom flags for factions

Using PAPI

In my case dont worl

Exist any form?

[warm topaz]

factionsuuid doesnt have a config, are you trying to change the output of the placeholder?

[warm topaz]

can you try uppercase please?

[warm topaz]

this is not a valid time
using time_ requires a SimpleDateFormat
if you wish to use a timezone instead, use timezone_ instead

[warm topaz]

durability is currently based off the default of the material, so custom durability will currently not work. this will be an issue with the expansion

[warm plover]

Gotcha

[gloomy marsh]

How? with changeouput placeholder?

[gloomy marsh]

Sorry

[warm topaz]

yes you can use changeoutput expansion

[gloomy marsh]

Yeah but in this case i have 100 alternatives

But i dont think that chat size allow that

[warm topaz]

you may be able to use string expansion with its config, but this will replace a sequence of characters, rather than matching the string exactly. so it may or may not work depending on ur use case
https://github.com/BlitzOffline/StringExpansion/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#stringexpansion

if that doesn't work, you may have to use javascript

[wind river]

Should I capitalize the endings of APIs?

[warm topaz]

yes, so %statistic_PLAYER_KILLS% should work

[wind river]

I hope it works, I'm busy with other things right now, I'll get back to you when it's my turn 🙂

How can I sync placeholders from PlaceholdersAPI between servers? Like for example I need to get the placeholder of something in a survival server and I am in the lobby server.

I've searched some and it shows this plugin,
is there no other way than to use this?

https://polymart.org/product/5608/astralsync-mysql-and-redis

[turbid tide]

We have no solutions for this. As you've found there are ones made by others but I've personally never used them so I wouldn't know how good they are.

[cunning charm]

Not sure where that placeholder is from. You should try: %servertime_ddd%
/papi ecloud download servertime /papi reload

[ripe ocean]

it doesn't work like that...
I've tried lots of different ways but it doesn't change...

[cunning charm]

Well your view requirement is also set up incorrectly

Read string equals https://wiki.helpch.at/helpchat-plugins/deluxemenus/options-and-configurations/requirements

But also, I’m still not sure where you’re getting that placeholder from

[turbid tide]

Like @cunning charm said, the placeholder you are using is not correct. Also, the requirement type isn't either. Instead it should look something like this:

    view_requirement:
      requirements:
        sunday:
          type: "string equals ignorecase"
          input: "%server_time_EEEE%"
          output: "Sund"

and

    view_requirement:
      requirements:
        not_sunday:
          type: "!string equals ignorecase"
          input: "%server_time_EEEE%"
          output: "Sund"

[ripe ocean]

Okay thank you 🙂

[rare lark]

Hello,

Pardon my noobiness here, just getting into the rabbit hole of placeholders - I'm trying to make a dynamic spacing system for a tablist that compensates for variable-width glyphs, and am having trouble parsing some math with nested placeholders. I think I might just have been staring at this too long lol.

Here's the placeholder I'm __attempting __to build (probably formatted totally wrong):

%utils_parse_math_0_down{string_occurrences_count{essentials_nickname}_I}+{string_occurrences_count{essentials_nickname}_f}+{string_occurrences_count{essentials_nickname}_i}+{string_occurrences_count{essentials_nickname}_j}+{string_occurrences_count{essentials_nickname}_l}+{string_occurrences_count{essentials_nickname}_t}%

What this should do is check a nickname for presence and quantity of the characters "I, f, i, j, l, t" and output the number of characters matching that criteria, which will be checked in a TAB condition to pad the spacing.

Example:
Checks essentials nickname, finds 2 "i"s, 1 "j" and 1 "f", and tells me there are a total of 4 characters matching the criteria.
Passes TAB true / false condition of %myRidiculousPlaceholder%=4 and sends the proper spacing to the Tablist.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

[junior musk]

you forgot an _ aftet down

[rare lark]

took a break, came back and realized that there's a spelling error in the String expansion syntax, lol.

%string_occurences_count_<string>_<match>% - Counts how many times the match appears in the string

"occurences"

Here's a test placeholder string that worked, if it's useful to anyone.

%utils_parse_math_0_{utils_parse_string_occurences_count_{essentials_nickname}i}+{utils_parse_string_occurences_count{essentials_nickname}_i}%

[turbid tide]

No it does not. If you want cross server placeholders you need to use an addon such as this one: <#placeholder-api message>.

[turbid tide]

You might be the only person to use that feature in 2 years. No one has reported this before.

I've added an alias to that placeholder. Waiting for the ecloud to work again so I can push the new version.

[rare lark]

I appreciate the quick fix! That sounds about right as far as my luck & use case lol. Thanks!

[turbid tide]

I've just pushed the fix.

[sinful adder]

ah ok. well i tried using placeholders even with them both install on proxy and backend servers. but they still show what i put for example %luckperms_prefix%

[turbid tide]

Yeah because PlaceholderAPI won't work on proxy servers. There are plugins made by others such as the one i linked that tries to add proxy and multi server support.

[sinful adder]

thats what i was talking about lol

installed the bridge thing

[turbid tide]

Ah.

I see that that is actually an API not a plugin. Your proxy plugins would need to support it.

[torpid vortex]

Is there a way to convert seconds to minutes with a placeholder?

[turbid tide]

You can use the Math expansion I guess

%math_0:down_{your_placeholder}/60%

the 0:down will round down to 0 decimals

[sinful adder]

What do you mean?

[scenic sapphire]

How can I transform my placeholders to have a "small cap" format?

[misty atlas]

that's up to the placeholder provider

sometimes it's supported, sometime it isn't

[scenic sapphire]

%player_name% this one ?

[turbid tide]

It is meant for your proxy plugins to add support for it. It will not work by itself

[scenic sapphire]

i use purpur btw

[sinful adder]

Ohh so that means luckperms doesn’t add support?

[turbid tide]

You can also use a different expansion such as the String expansion to transform output from other placeholders.

[turbid tide]

So, LuckPerms or any other plugin would need to add support for both PlaceholderAPI and PapiProxyBridge

[sinful adder]

Also I used /papi ecloud download statistic and the placeholders don’t work?

[sinful adder]

Aww man

[turbid tide]

Did you reload? /papi reload

[misty atlas]

I don't think the Player expansion supports it

[sinful adder]

i reinstalled the expansion, didnt work

how should i send the startup log

txt file?

[warm topaz]

?paste

[next reef]

did i do it right😭

i did not.

i couldnt paste the entire startup in /paste so i pasted the link inside it lmao

[warm topaz]

this is the whole log file?

there is nothing mentioning vault expansion in here

[next reef]

oh i think thats from when i deleted the expansion, i left out the ecloud command logs wait

ill paste the rest

[next reef]

not very informative though

whys it in one string ;-;

the bot messed it up

https://paste.helpch.at/besuyefufu.md

here u go thats everything after the startup i sent

[warm topaz]

do you have this every time u restart?

[next reef]

i restarted a lot of times while thinking reload didnt help.

i installed all the plugins right now though. never has worked

well first i downloaded sunlight, which is a essentials kind of plugin, and it uses vaults placeholders on a template

so i installed vault and placeholderapi after seeing that

but it doesnt work

i dont think its sunlights fault since placeholderapi itself has an error with vault

[warm topaz]

yes ive seen this before in papi, just not sure what the cause is

mind if i give u some jars to help me debug?

[next reef]

go ahead

is it somehow purpurs fault? i had no issues on paper

[junior musk]

what does /vault-info say?

[next reef]

[Vault] Vault v1.7.3-b131 Information
[Vault] Economy: None [null]
[Vault] Permission: SuperPerms [SuperPerms]
[Vault] Chat: None [null]

[junior musk]

that's the issue

Vault says you have no economy plugin

Sunlight doesn't seem to have hooked into Vault

[next reef]

bruhh im a dumbass

[junior musk]

maybe you need to toggle some setting

or maybe it just doesn't have any economy feature, idk

[next reef]

sunlight doesnt have economy i think

[junior musk]

then yeah that's the issue

[next reef]

i made this server to test sunlight for the first time

so i dont know its features at all

thanks for the help

[junior musk]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/coinsengine-⭐-economy-and-custom-currencies.84121/

[next reef]

wait why would vault have %vault_ranks%

what does ranks have to do with economy

that doesnt show either

[junior musk]

Vault does both economy and permissions

[next reef]

so if i set up luckperms will vault automatically detect it?

[junior musk]

and as it says in the /vault-info as well, you don't have any permissions manager (SuperPerms is Vault's own default permission manager)

yeah

[next reef]

thank you ❤️

PlaceholderAPI does not support any escaping. I guess, on your side, you could encode percent signs and then decode them later.

Try /papi reload and if not restart your server.

Hello! I wanted to track my server's players' monthly playtime hours but whenever I add the built in playtime placeholder, this shows up. Anybody know the proper placeholders to track the playtime? Thank you! https://imgur.com/K8odVCR

[junior musk]

if a placeholder is marked as "built-in" on the placeholders list, it means its built-in the plugin that's linked to that placeholder, not PlaceholderAPI

[flint jungle]

Ohh I see! Thank you! I was indeed confused and forgot to install the plugin itself. 😅

hi so is it possible to connect mysql to papi or clear it (statistic expansion (so like remove time played etc.))?

[warm topaz]

statistic expansion stats are all collected from world/playerdata folder, if u need to clear it, delete it
and for the same reason, no you cant connect to mysql (i dont think??)

[warm topaz]

potentially using ChatInjector plugin, but im unsure if its updated anymore or if that would even work - but you can always try and see

[astral ferry]

Hey, is there a placeholder to check if an input is a pure number?
I tried this %math_0:_$1-/$1-% but it does not work because it also allows [()]+- and so on.

[turbid tide]

I was going to say that it might be better to use the JavaScript expansion. But I remember now that dealing with numbers in the JavaScript expansion is way worse so I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you other than making your own expansion.

Or asking for a placeholder to be added in an existent expansion.

[astral ferry]

Oh okey okey, then I will probably have to use several changeoutput_contains to filter out the characters

[turbid tide]

I am sorry to hear this 😭

[astral ferry]

Everything is fine 😉 , I already have it like this, since I had no other solution, I just wanted to see if there is a better way 😬

[turbid tide]

Javascript expansion might be slightly better if you want to give it a try

Okay, I'll take a look, I haven't done anything with it yet

[muted gulch]

Does the javascript expansion still work?

[muted gulch]

I just updated all my expansions and all my player statistics reverted to almost a month ago, anyone experienced similar behavior?

so

[turbid tide]

The statistics are simply taken from your world/stats folder. They are tracked by your server. Maybe you've reverted to an older version of your world?

[turbid tide]

Yes. You just have to manually install it

[turbid tide]

The only expansion that doesn't seem to have loaded is the PlayerStats one. Have you checked your logs for warnings or errors?

[muted gulch]

I haven't, but I think I found what it was...

[muted gulch]

sorry barry

but anyways

I hadnt updated the expansion in a very long time

over a year

I updated it today

and 2 months ago, there was a changed pushed to statistics

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Statistics-Expansion/commit/9bf9437f1b8c2d68740470bcfeb8014ed12818e5

so many stats were being counted twice within the placeholders

verified by downloading backups from a few days ago, and the block changes were negligible compared to the drop we saw after updating (some players went from 1.4 million blocks mined down to like 800k)

so, it was counting all material based statistics twice...and updating the expansion stopped the duplicate totaling

[marsh dove]

everything should be fine

[marsh dove]

but with TAB I can't get any placeholders on the scoreboard

[turbid tide]

Do your placeholders work when testing them with the /papi parse command?

[turbid tide]

Oh yeah. This fix was so long ago I completely forgot about it.

[marsh dove]

yes

I just changed to another plugin

and papi works with that

might be a good idea to warn new users that it might be incompatible with TAB

[turbid tide]

We don't do that. Each plugin can say if they support or not PlaceholderAPI. This is just an API that plugins can use if they want to

To clarify, we need to display the biome on our HUD and some biomes are on Terra and some are on TerraformGenerator

You could use the Javascript expansion. It lets you create your own placeholders using Javascript

Javascript takes too much of the process and I don't really need to sacrifice the performance with just a simple display. I'm looking for other options instead. Thank you so much!

[turbid tide]

There is the String expansion which gives you the index of a character from a string and also lets you get the substring from a start index. If you combine this with something like the Utils expansion maybe?

I believe the utils expansion lets you parse multiple nested levels of placeholders

[turbid tide]

I have cc-ed this to an admin to look into.

Just a note on the code, if /papi reload is executed the entire expansion is reloaded so the cache will be cleared. Not sure if you maybe want some sort of temporary storage that only clear on server restarts? Or maybe PAPI has a reload event. I am not sure

[flint merlin]

Hi guys, please help me, I installed PlaceholderAPI, but it won't start, no config is created, PAPI commands don't work. What should I do? My 1.21-loader.0.16.14-launcher.1.0.3, placeholder-api-2.4.2+1.21.jar here is the latest.log https://pastebin.com/avqEP9tV.

[pliant crane]

having issues with PlaceholderAPI and DeluxeTags. is there any way we can get it verifed?

[junior musk]

PlaceholderAPI is a Spigot plugin, not a Fabric mod, and the Fabric alternative isn't ours

[junior musk]

verified?

and what's the issue?

[balmy marten]

Dm me a username and email and I'll create the account

[lethal breach]

Hello, is it safe to stack 2 or more formatters at the same time? Or there's a better way to handle this?

[half briar]

You can try %formatter_text_replace_{{r=.*\/(.*)}}_$1_/help/thisvalue% using regex maybe.
https://imgur.com/a/wl2OUcR

[lethal breach]

Thank you! This is actually the continuation of the concern that i have above. But now, the first letter of each biome is not capitalized due to being removed. So I want to add another formatter on top of it to capitalize it. I know that might work but will that affect the performance of the server?

I've tried Javascript before and it's really taking too much resources so I want to ask if that may affect performance in the future. I'm working on our HUD to display data so once I started implementing this, I may no longer be able to remove it.

[stable girder]

Hey is there a way i can get something like %region_tps_player% ? So the player gets the tps from his region? Im using the PlaceholderAPI-2.11.7-DEV-null.jar

[turbid tide]

As far as I know, there isn't an expansion for folia regions support.

[stable girder]

is the only way to get this displayed a custom plugin? sry for the ping

[silk vigil]

i need help i got banned from server for no reson i made nothing so how i can back or how much i will be banned?

[turbid tide]

Or a custom expansion.

Yeah

[austere hawk]

I'm trying to download Pinger, but it says it can't find it, does it no longer exist?

[austere hawk]

Apparently Pinger still exists, but I can't download it, apparently the Plugin is having problems connecting to the API?

Now the plugin managed to connect again, it was a temporary unavailability, but even connected again, I can't download Pinger.

[sullen light]

Hi, is there any way i1 can parse a placeholder for a specific user? for example, i want to create a hologram that says something like "House of %player_displayname%" but if I do that it shows my name and rank, and I want it to show another user's. i tried with ParseOther, but this only works while the player is online... if they disconnect, the line goes blank. is there any other way to do this? I'm using DecentHolograms

[heady lance]

%formatter_number_time_{{PTM_playtime_s}}% why it is not working

[heady lance]

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

[sullen light]

yeah i know but, as i said: "i tried with ParseOther, but this only works while the player is online"

[heady lance]

then u need to create ur own papi

[pine sleet]

how do i make so %statistic_deaths% works differently for different worlds

[snow acorn]

Another bump of this

Can I get my expansion verified?
https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/floodgate/

[sterile sonnet]

with the WorldGuard PAPI expansion, is there a way I can get whether a player is in a certain region? %worldguard_region_name% seems to just return the highest priority region, but I want to check if a player is in a specific region that I specify the name of

[sacred orbit]

Why is it that if the NPC's name is &a%bungee_survival% &felérhető játékos then the placeholderapi plugin works, but if I make the hologram and give it &a%bungee_survival% &felérhető játékos as the text, then it doesn't work?

[hollow wolf]

does tags support 1.21.4?

[turbid tide]

Yes

[uneven pasture]

hello! what would be the correct way of using bstats inside expansion? my current attempt looks like that:

import me.clip.placeholderapi.expansion.PlaceholderExpansion;
import org.bstats.bukkit.Metrics;

public class TestExpansion extends PlaceholderExpansion {
    . . .
    @Override
    public boolean register() {
        new Metrics(getPlaceholderAPI(), id);
        return super.register();
    }
    . . .
}

metrics are working for sometime, but then stops 🤔 and reloading doesn't fix them… Thanks!

[turbid tide]

I don't think you're supposed to include bstats in the expansion. If you want to see expansion ussage, PlaceholderAPI already tracks that. https://api.extendedclip.com/usage/

[uneven pasture]

i'm not seeing my expansion there either

maybe because i'm not released yet and just testing…

[turbid tide]

If you've just started testing it, it might take a bit to show up but it should show up eventually

as long as your server has access to the internet to send the stats

[uneven pasture]

hm… i should search it by my identifier? right?

what if my desired identifier was already taken? 😭

[turbid tide]

It will count them together. If you don't plan on making the expansion verified on ECloud, then you should be fine with using your own bstats metrics. However, I am not sure why it is not working the way you intended.

[uneven pasture]

thank you very much ❤️

[dense loom]

Is there any cooldown / timer placeholder? I want the timer to loop itself when it's up aswell

[sacred orbit]

Hi
Why is it that if the NPC's name is &a%bungee_survival% &felérhető játékos then the placeholderapi plugin works, but if I make the hologram and give it &a%bungee_survival% &felérhető játékos as the text, then it doesn't work?

[uneven pasture]

guess i figured… reloads were spamming metrics tasks and got this id banned -_- any way to make global/static variable or class inside expansion? idk…

i'm just curious at this point 🤔 java is not my main language…

[turbid tide]

I don't think so. You would have to make a plugin

[flint pike]

Is placeholder api compatible with TAB plugin?

[junior musk]

is the TAB plugin compatible with PlaceholderAPI*
and the answer is yes

[flint pike]

Is it not just %Placeholder%?

Like it was in featherboard

[junior musk]

%Placeholder% isn't a valid placeholder

[flint pike]

Do you have an example? I have my layout but I do not have the correct format for the palceholder in my config for my placeholder api placeholders.

[junior musk]

Which placeholders are you using?

[neat nova]

Hello, theres a way to create a placeholder that updates every tick?

[restive mica]

Do you recommend using dev builds?
https://ci.extendedclip.com/job/PlaceholderAPI/

[autumn stream]

Does Javascript expansion has feature to call java api?
for example get all online players and then sort/filter them by some factors and use them to display data

[junior musk]

BukkitServer.getOnlinePlayers()

[balmy marten]

Dev builds of any plugin are not recommended for production servers as they may not be stable

[restive mica]

ViaVersion, TAB, DeluxeMenus, GrimAC - say otherwise

[turbid valley]

Hey, the placeholders do not load in the Badlion client. What could be the reason?

[tardy schooner]

is there a way to show statistic_time_played as xDays and xHours instead of xDays xHours xMinutes xSeconds

?

[dull topaz]

Hello, where should I go to ask for help?

[half briar]

Maybe you can use formatter to cut the end off and add an 'h' back on the end after the placeholder: %formatter_text_substring_:h_{statistic_time_played}%h
Outputs: 4d 5h

[lapis geode]

does Papi have a function to apply placeholders to a text component used in paper?

[turbid tide]

No.

[turbid tide]

There are different placeholders that can return each of the components %statistic_time_played:seconds% (days, hours, minutes, seconds, separately), or you can use the %statistic_seconds_played% placeholder and then use other placeholders to format it however you want.

[turbid tide]

It is not just up to the placeholder to update every tick. It is also up to the plugin using it to parse it every tick. PlaceholderAPI has no update feature. Instead, it parses the string you give it, every time you ask for it.

does anyone have issues with papi on 1.21.5?

or is it just me?

what is the issue

also papi technically hasnt been tested with 1.21.5 (even though it should work), plus paper doesn't have a stable build yet of 1.21.5

[stone fern]

is there a placeholder that returns player exp in terms of levels like 31 instead of 1555 xp

[warm topaz]

%player_exp_to_level%

[stone fern]

that returned 121 for me even though im level 31?

[warm topaz]

ah try %player_level%

exp to level is how much exp til the next level, mb

[flint venture]

Nevermind, sorry

Was an issue my side

Seems to work fine now

[turbid valley]

Hey, the placeholders do not load in the Badlion client. What could be the reason?

[turbid tide]

Placeholders are not client sided? I am not sure what you mean by this.

[terse viper]

Hello everyone. It's been a while since I last worked with servers, so I'm a bit out of the loop on the subject. I'm going to install this plugin now on a Paper 1.21.4 server and I’d like to know if there’s anything I should be aware of — like any known errors or bugs, or if it’s working fine.

I’d appreciate it if you could let me know

[snow plinth]

Does anybody know if there is a plugin or way to get the Nth item in a placeholder that is formatted as a comma-separated list? E.g. I have a placeholder that returns something like home1,home2,home3 and I want to get the 1st or 2nd

[junior musk]

Playerlist

check the example with type: CUSTOM
https://github.com/Tanguygab/PlayerList-PlaceholderAPI-Expansion/wiki#config-examples-and-placeholder-syntaxes

[junior musk]

not really, aside from maybe that one issue where expansion randomly don't load on server start due to an error, we still don't know what it's caused by, but it doesn't seem to happen to everyone... it's really weird but aside from that you're fine

[snow plinth]

Ended up adding another operation to Blitz's StringExpansion expansion. Now allows something like %string_listelement_0_{huskhomes_homes_list}% to get the element in that list like I needed

[junior musk]

didn't have to remove the message😅

doesn't remove the ping

nice though

[snow plinth]

Lol idk why it removed

[static oyster]

Hey

I have a question

[tender vapor]

There is no time to wait! Ask your question @static oyster!

[static oyster]

Can I enter placeholder in placeholder

I want to have something like %server-online_(%world%)%

[junior musk]

Assuming you want the player's world's playercount:
/papi ecloud download Utils
/papi ecloud download Server
/papi ecloud download Player
/papi reload
%utils_parse_server_online_{player_world}%

pretty sure there's already a placeholder for the current world's playercount already available though

would be better than relying on Utils

[turbid valley]

Well, placeholders are loaded and displayed with the normal Minecraft Launcher. If you play Minecraft with the Badlion client, you can no longer see the placeholders, then there is simply an empty field in the scoreboard, for example.

[neon ledge]

Is there a placeholder for the time played per day or per session (not for the entire time!)?

[warm topaz]

you will probably require an additional plugin to do that

[warm topaz]

all placeholderapi is doing is returning a String for other plugins to use this data, we are not touching the client in any way

[jade coral]

heya, i wanted to ask will PAPI support components? like in the api rn i can only find a way to return String on request

[turbid valley]

Then Badlion Client probably doesn't support placeholderapi?

[vivid sparrow]

Probably not

[vivid sparrow]

Support in what way? Papi doesn't check the client type, unless the client does something weird, placeholders should work just fine

[turbid valley]

Then it is probably the client itself. As I said, the placeholders are simply not displayed in the client...

[vivid sparrow]

So you are using a placeholder like %player_name% and see what, empty space or the placeholder itself? Do you have different results with another client?

[turbid valley]

An empty space, yea

[static oyster]

Can I have a group of worlds (multiverse core) instead of a world?

[sage gorge]

ItemChecker5:
type: 'string equals'
input: '%checkitem_nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..executableitems:ei-id=buty1%'
output: 'yes'

What is wrong here?

[turbid tide]

What if it is simple text not placeholders? Does it still show empty space or what? Either way, PlaceholderAPI does NOT interact with the client in any way shape or form.

[little flint]

please help, the placeholder api plugin doesn't work for some reason and doesn't recognize placeholders from the vault add-on

[turbid tide]

Answered in #general-plugins . Please reply there when you can

[buoyant wren]

According to Spigot, the placeholder supports the PowerBoard plugin, but when I want to download the expansion, it doesn't find it. Does anyone know what the problem is or does anyone know another good scoreboard system?

[turbid tide]

It sounds like there might be a bit of confusion here.

PlaceholderAPI serves two main purposes:

1. It allows developers to create expansions, which can either be built into a plugin or provided as standalone modules.
2. It enables other plugins to use these expansions to display dynamic placeholders.

If you're using PowerBoard as your scoreboard plugin and you're trying to display data from other plugins (like player stats, economy, etc.), you don't need a separate PowerBoard expansion. What you need is:

• PlaceholderAPI installed.
• The appropriate expansions for the plugins you want to pull data from (for example, Vault, Essentials, LuckPerms, etc.).

[robust hare]

Hi, I'm currently trying to write my first placeholder but it seems that the placeholder is not returning whats inside the onRequest. It says that the placeholder has been registered. I also tried the same with the other method and also some meaningful return values.
https://paste.helpch.at/umalakevav.typescript
Also am I correct in assuming that if I want to create an expansion which goes inside the folder of placeholderApi that I just need to create a simple java maven project or do i still need to create a JavaPlugin project?

[junior musk]

the identifier should be a name without _ (usually, your plugin's name)

and the params in the onRequest would return has_bank_account

[robust hare]

aaaaahh so its %<identifier>_<params>%. now I get a value with parse. Thank you very much. Awesome

[mossy tide]

[astral ferry]

Hey :), I have a question about the Playerlist extension, if this is possible.
I would like to add a placeholder filter and retrieve a value from all online players and compare it with the value of the performing player.
So in the list only players with the same value as the performing player should be listed.

[junior musk]

https://github.com/Tanguygab/PlayerList-PlaceholderAPI-Expansion/wiki#filters

check the PLACEHOLDER filter

[astral ferry]

I know I've already done that, but unfortunately it doesn't help me. If I place a variable in the output field, the value isn't retrieved from the executing player, but from the respective player in the list. Therefore, everyone is displayed in the list. That's why I'm asking. Sorry if it wasn't written very clearly.
This is an example that I tried, but it doesn't work:
test: type: all included: true filters: - PLACEHOLDER:%luckperms_meta_test%=%luckperms_meta_test%

[junior musk]

left side is parsed for the target player, right side is parsed for the viewer so it should work

I'll try it again

[astral ferry]

I tested it again, but unfortunately it doesn't work, thanks for the help.

[junior musk]

worked fine for me (Tang2 was added after I ran /op Tang2)

/papi parse me %luckperms_meta_test% | %playerlist_test_list%
/papi parse <player> %luckperms_meta_test%

send screenshots, second command with the name of a player in the list while they shouldn't be in there

[astral ferry]

I deleted the player list and rewrote it, now it works all of a sudden, I don't understand anything anymore. I tested it twice before, oh man, sorry to have disturbed you

[violet niche]

Hi, I'm having a problem with the %checkitem_getinfo:offhand_loreequals:3% placeholder. It turns out that if the item I'm searching for the lore doesn't contain any lore, it throws an error and prevents me from performing a check. In any case, it should send an empty space. Do you know what I can do?

[indigo heart]

Hey everyone, I’m having trouble getting DeluxeTags to show up in chat. My setup:

Plugins: DeluxeTags, EssentialsChat, PlaceholderAPI
PlaceholderAPI: %deluxetags_tag% is installed & should be active
EssentialsChat Format: {DISPLAYNAME} %deluxetags_tag%: {MESSAGE}

Even though PlaceholderAPI recognizes DeluxeTags, the tag still won’t display in chat. I’ve checked my config files and tried different placeholders (%deluxetags_tag_raw%), but no luck.

[warm topaz]

currently deluxetags has broken since the latest version of essentialsX

i would recommend getting a new chat plugin that supports placeholderapi natively

[indigo heart]

oh

[indigo heart]

any recommended chat plugin? & will it mess with the other plugins on my server or will essentials still work eventho i add a diff chat plugin (sry for the stpd questions)

[warm topaz]

LPC is probably the simplest one i think, but theres lots like venture chat, chatchat

and essentials will work on its own

esschat is just an addon for it

[indigo heart]

also the clear chat plugins, will they still work eventho i switch chatplugins

[warm topaz]

depends, but probably yes

[indigo heart]

omg it worked, you are amazing tysmmmmm

[olive pine]

hello, I have a problem understanding how to create the placeholder that works for me: I need a placeholder that returns the maximum life of a player, but the problem is that the max_health that I would like is not from the executor of the placeholder but from another specific player that I also get through another placeholder.

It should look like this %utils_parse:2_otherplayer_health_{servervariables_globalvalue_duelsplayerblue}% except that instead of health I would like the max_health, a value not supported by otherplayer extension.

The final goal is to put all this together with math to create a bossbar on TAB plugin that shows the health of the player in the variable. But unlike how I have it now I can have a proportion between the max health and the life shown on the bossbar (now if the player has 20/40 hp the bossbar is full as if it were 100%, due to the limit of the proportion at 20hp default)

[half briar]

Have you tried using ParseOther and using the player_max_health with that instead of the otherplayer? I assume servervariables_globalvalue_duelsplayerblue returns their username?

[olive pine]

yes I tried in various ways to use parseother, an extension that promises a lot, but it gives me problems, maybe because of my username with _

https://paste.helpch.at/inuwazivey.css

And yes, servervariables_globalvalue_duelsplayerblue returns the username of the player who must be on the bossbar at that moment

[junior musk]

both the name and the placeholder should be inside their own set of {}

%parseother_{name}_{placeholder}%

[olive pine]

Thanks, I made a pretty stupid mistake... but I still have problems integrating everything with math or utils_parse:
%math_{parseother_{Lucke_08}_{player_health}}/{parseother_{Lucke_08}_{player_max_health}}*100
this formatting causes problems because it replaces the {} before running parseother, and even with utils_parse I can't think of a way to avoid this

[junior musk]

%utils_parseother:[Lucke08]_math_{player_health}/{player_max_health}*100%

if you want to use a placeholder instead of the name:
%utils_parseplaceholder:[{some_placeholder}]_math_{player_health}/{player_max_health}*100%

[olive pine]

I can never thank you enough 🙏

hey guys sorry for the inconvience but i have a question, do someone have problems with PAPI? our server keeps getting memory leaks and i don't know if it's from PAPI or another plugin
https://paste.helpch.at/kevexeyaso.rb

[warm topaz]

looks like a LiteBans issue, my guess is that they are querying the DB and not closing their connections

[quartz shoal]

yeah i was thinking about this, we ve changed the papi version to 2.11.7 DEV thing and the server got the memory leak faster than normal, normally it stays for like 3-4 hours before "dying", and with the dev version 30 min was max

cant seem to find one in the list

[junior musk]

I think Math should have that

%math_CLAMP(X,1,10)%

try that

it doesn't

you can still use both CEILING and FLOOR then

%math_CEIL(10,FLOOR(1,X))%

[viral isle]

That should work thank you !

im not really sure if its an issue related to PAPI or to server itself, but placeholders are affected with this issue, that i aware about are: %statistic_mine_block% and %statistic_craft_item%

so after trying to use them, log looks like that:

[11:26:01 INFO]: lolipa1n issued server command: /papi parse lolipa1n %statistic_mine_block%
[11:26:01 WARN]: [org.bukkit.craftbukkit.legacy.CraftLegacy] Initializing Legacy Material Support. Unless you have legacy plugins and/or data this is a bug!

I believe it's because Spigot tries to load all blocks which you mined, some which could have been mined prior to updating to 1.13 and aren't being updated by Spigot for some reason

if you never where on versions older than 1.13 on this map, then I have no idea lol

just Spigot being Spigot I guess

[fiery iris]

so, thats should be an API related issue and maybe be reproduced by any call to org.bukkit.Statistic.MINE_BLOCK for example?

[junior musk]

but yeah, nothing to do with PAPI, this happens when Spigot/Bukkit's getStatistic method is called on a player

[junior musk]

pretty much, yeah

[fiery iris]

funny enough, this is almost freshly created server on 1.21.4 and it was never runned any other versions

[junior musk]

then I have no clue xD

maybe it's looping over all existing Materials

including the LEGACY_ ones

Is that normal if my placeholders don't work when they get send to chat?

Previously it worked on my servers.

My plugin list is:

• EcoEnchants
• eco
• libreforge
• PlaceholderAPI

Like if I send %player_exp% instead of seeing number of my xp I see %player_exp% in chat

[viral isle]

CEIL and FLOOR just rounds up or down. MAX MIN Function is correct just for the information

[junior musk]

uh

yeah idk how I missed that

[brazen orbit]

That is managed by your chat plugin not those you listed

[solemn gale]

try /papi parce %player_exp% nick

[cyan kiln]

Does anyone know where the PlaceholderAPI that supports folia is?

[calm mortar]

Does anyone know how i can implement spigot placeholders in a fabric mod?

[naive glade]

How to display PlaceholderAPI placeholders on a website?
Specifically, I want to create a personal cabinet with player statistics.
I already have player nicknames and UUIDs in the database, if that helps.

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI was written for a Spigot servers. It can not be used without the Spigot API.

[turbid tide]

You can try this one: https://github.com/Winds-Studio/Folia-Expansion. We haven't verified it so can't tell you what and how it works.

[turbid tide]

Does the placeholder work if you execute this command? /papi parse me %player_exp%? If not, execute the following commands in order:

1. /papi ecloud download player
2. /papi reload.

If it does work when you execute that command, then maybe your chat plugin does not have PlacehodlerAPI support?

[lyric kraken]

Thanks for help, it worked!

Previously my chat plugin handled placeholders in chat. I didn't installed it on my current server so I couldn't use placeholders in chat without that command.

[dense summit]

hi guys i have problem, my placeholders for superiorskyblock2 dont working, i want a create a TopWorth Islands, but dont work

[calm mortar]

Yeah I know, I tried to make a custom plugin that listens from a fabric mod but I got no idea how to do it

[turbid tide]

Execute /papi dump and send the generated link here please.

[lyric hollow]

where can i download dev builds for papi

[desert flint]

I want to show kills and deaths in the tablist for each player how can I do this in combination with TAB plugin

[rough granite]

Deaths: %statistic_deaths%
Kills: %statistic_player_kills%

I think

[desert flint]

Where do I put this

[rough granite]

in ur TAB config file

[whole burrow]

https://pastes.dev/7LOjc7gh49 what's wrong here?

[vast echo]

SkinsRestorer API is not initialized

https://skinsrestorer.net/docs/development/api

[sullen bluff]

is checkitem not supported for 1.21.4?

[whole burrow]

ok but what's this mean

[turbid tide]

This is thrown by the following extension: SRPlaceholderAPIExpansion

Are you its developer? If not, I suggest you contact the developer of that expansion

[whole burrow]

no im not, so need to contact skinsrestorer

[whole burrow]

ok

[devout cloud]

Guys, I made a placeholderapi expansion, but when I do /papi reload the placeholder resets. Someone knows how to fix?

[turbid tide]

If it is an internal expansion you need to add the following:

    @Override
    public boolean persist() {
        return true;
    }

[devout cloud]

After register()?

[turbid tide]

Anywhere in the expansion class

[devout cloud]

Works! Thanks!
