Why is this not usable?

[04:22:24 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] Cannot load expansion floodgate due to an unknown issue.```

[manic stone]

i tried passed in a null player and it is giving me the placeholder itself

i have checked the placeholder with papi parse command and it is working perfectly fine

private static TagResolver papiTag(final Player player) {
    return TagResolver.resolver("papi", (argumentQueue, context) -> {
        // Get the string placeholder that they want to use.
        final String papiPlaceholder = argumentQueue.popOr("papi tag requires an argument").value();

        // Then get PAPI to parse the placeholder for the given player.
        final String parsedPlaceholder = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, '%' + papiPlaceholder + '%');

        // We need to turn this ugly legacy string into a nice component.
        final Component componentPlaceholder = LegacyComponentSerializer.legacySection().deserialize(parsedPlaceholder);

        // Finally, return the tag instance to insert the placeholder!
        return Tag.selfClosingInserting(componentPlaceholder);
    });
}```

what is the issue, is PlaceholderAPI#setPlaceholders doing something wrong ?

?paste

[manic stone]

https://paste.helpch.at/efamuyiyut.kotlin

my expansion code

i tried with --null in papi parse, it didnt work

how can i fix this ?

i can see that i check if player null returns null

how can i make it safe for other placeholder that requires the player ?

i have moved the code for getting params which are not depended to the player to be above the one for player

not sure if it is correct to do so

[turbid tide]

Guilds has an expansion built in. You don't need to install anything. Here is a list of placeholders: https://wiki.helpch.at/glares-plugins/guilds-w.i.p-migration/placeholders

[turbid tide]

It seems that maybe you have 2 expansions with name floodgate installed? Check the plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions folder

[turbid tide]

That is the correct way

Parse everything that has nothing to do with the player first

[turbid tide]

You can maybe try the Formatter expansion. If not, you could also try the JavaScript expansion and write some custom JS code for it

Also, some expansions such as Vault have placeholders with commas and without

[grave cedar]

its one

[turbid tide]

Can you execute /papi dump and send the generated link here?

[grave cedar]

sure

https://paste.helpch.at/qibubisijo

[turbid tide]

Any chance you can send the startup log (including the part where the error you sent is thrown) as well?

https://mclo.gs/zKLaYGS

[turbid tide]

This looks like an issue with the Floodgate expansion. Please contact them and tell them to remove the following piece of code:

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

This function should only be used by expansion that are built inside plugins.

[grave cedar]

ahhhh

ok

[torpid vortex]

Is there a way to get the player's number?

That is, to know if Notch was the #1 player to join the server

[turbid tide]

I think the closest you will get is %player_first_join% which gives you a datetime of when the player first joined the server

[torpid vortex]

It wasn't what I was looking for but I managed to do what I wanted, thanks anyway.

[spark wigeon]

hey hey, im trying to use the server countup/countdown placeholder.
i wish to use it every day on specific time, so it should point every day to like 14 pm, any ideas how this would be psosible?

[turbid tide]

Not possible at this moment

[fervent heath]

Hey guys, I'm using velocity proxy and have 3 backend servers running on paper
I'm not sure which extension I should use to be able to show online of each server separately?
Shortly: placehorder for showing online from one backend server (hub) on another backend server (skyblock or survival for example)

Thank you so much beforehand!

[feral rapids]

Hey, I want to register a new placeholder but it not works, here's my code

class COSExpansion(
    private val plugin: JavaPlugin,
) : PlaceholderExpansion() {
    override fun getIdentifier(): String = "CosPlaceholder"

    override fun getAuthor(): String = "RTAkland"

    override fun getVersion(): String = "1.0"

    override fun persist(): Boolean = true

    override fun onRequest(player: OfflinePlayer?, params: String): String? {
        println(plugin.name)
        val playerName = player?.name ?: return null
        return when (params) {
            "cos_diamond_count" -> simulatorCountManager.getCount(playerName, KeyTypes.DiamondKey).toString()
            "cos_golden_count" -> simulatorCountManager.getCount(playerName, KeyTypes.GoldenKey).toString()
            "cos_copper_count" -> simulatorCountManager.getCount(playerName, KeyTypes.CopperKey).toString()
            "cos_iron_count" -> simulatorCountManager.getCount(playerName, KeyTypes.IronKey).toString()
            else -> null
        }
    }
}

And I registered it in onEnable

        if (Bukkit.getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled("PlaceholderAPI")) {
            Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this)
            COSExpansion(this).register()
        }

but the println does not print anything

Any it not works

[junior musk]

which placeholder did you use?

[feral rapids]

2.11.6 via gradle

[junior musk]

not what I asked

[feral rapids]

😭

[junior musk]

?

[feral rapids]

oh sorry, This is my first time using placeholder, so I am not sure about some things. The placeholder used is %cos_diamond_count%

[junior musk]

%CosPlaceholder_cos_diamond_count%

syntax is %identifier_params%

[feral rapids]

Is this a namespace?

prefix

[junior musk]

you could say that yeah

[feral rapids]

Oh it works thanks

[normal tartan]

hey so im trying to use deluxetags in my custom tab plugin, i have the API tag working when i chat in the chat ( using my own chat format so i have the PlaceHolderAPI working ) but when i try and use the placeholder in the tab it doesnt work?

[turbid tide]

/papi parse me %deluxetags_tag% works?

[normal tartan]

lemme load server back up again and try it

yeah when i do that it shows the correct tag

but my tab just shows the %deluxetags_tag%

[normal tartan]

any idea what todo to get this to work?

[turbid tide]

what tab plugin do you use?

[normal tartan]

making a custom one

so using it like this

ejoin.getPlayer().setPlayerListName("%deluxetags_tag% " + player.getDisplayName());

[warped hamlet]

does it support paper 1.21.5

[normal tartan]

Mine? no its made in Spigot

[warped hamlet]

im talking about placeholder api itself not deluxetags

[normal tartan]

yeah pretty sure it does

[warped hamlet]

using ajleaderboards with placeholders, swapped to paper and none of it works now

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI doesn't automatically parse placeholders everywhere. It does not inject itself anywhere at all. You have to specifically call PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholder() on the string you want to parse placeholders in.

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI works fine in 1.21.5. If you have errors or warnings please send them here so we can look into this further.

[umbral breach]

i will try it today, tysm for doing this

[warped hamlet]

i use ajleaderboards on spigot, switching to paper breaks all the placeholders in the scoreboard

or its just left as the %name% and no statistics

[turbid tide]

%name% is not a PlaceholderAPI placeholder though. You will have to be a bit more specific. What placeholders don't work, where are you using them, have you tested them with /papi parse command?

[warped hamlet]

that was just an example

can i send images here?

[warped hamlet]

ok

https://imgur.com/a/cKTigPu

[turbid tide]

Ok. Do the placeholders work when testing them with /papi parse?

[warped hamlet]

what is the message meant to be when i send this command

[turbid tide]

You should test like this /papi parse me %PLACEHOLDER_HERE%. Replace the placeholder with one that doesn;t work.

It should parse the placeholder and send the result in chat

[normal tartan]

where i see how to use this properly?

[normal tartan]

i didnt mean to ping, the @ is usually off for my mentions

[sturdy fractal]

Hello, I'm trying to make a profile system for players and using the ParseOther placeholders but the system breaks when the player you're looking for is offline, is there a way to fix this?

[sullen bluff]

thanks but i already forked it to be updated onto 1.21.4

[normal tartan]

Ok i got this working. Is there a way to get it to update without having to relog?

If i change my tag i have to relog for it to change to the new tag

If i restart the server there is no tag and i have to relog for it to show

[autumn glade]

guys do deluxemenu placeholder still needed? or exist?

im new at plugin, im still learning

i dont find deluxe menu placeholder in papi ecloud download

[turbid tide]

You don't need to download them. They come built inside the DeluxeMenus plugin.

[turbid tide]

Use a scheduler to update the playerlist constantly

[warped mason]

sheesh, thanks for the copy! doing gods work

[warped mason]

oops, didnt mean to break that rule

[normal tartan]

I did😭 I’ll try it again when I’m home, I may have done something wrong

[normal tartan]

so when i restart server and join the tag still doesnt show until i relog
( Yes its inside a Bukkit.getScheduler() )
and then when i relog the tag flickers on and off?

[wind notch]

unkown statistic "mine_block", check https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Statistic.html

[normal tartan]

doesnt seem to change the tag that i have applied either, still flickers the default one i had when first relogging

[wind notch]

statistic players kills also same

[turbid tide]

I would need to see the code to help you debug. Please share it

[turbid tide]

try setting it to upper case

[hybrid folio]

in the placeholderapi plugin apparently it hooks on to the simple voice chat plugin for placeholders. running /papi list shows 'voicechat' as one of the hooks however i cannot find any documentation on how to use them.

[half briar]

https://modrepo.de/minecraft/voicechat/wiki/placeholders This?

[hybrid folio]

yes. this is what i was looking for. thank you

[normal tartan]

Nothing flickers besides the tag on the tablist

String tabName = "%deluxetags_tag% " + player.getDisplayName();

[drowsy moon]

Hello! Is there a placeholder for vanished players? I don’t see anything in the placeholder list and I could find a plugin with placeholder support, just wondering if I’m missing it somewhere

[turbid tide]

https://paste.helpch.at/ahizicohiw.swift

PlaceholderAPI only parses placeholders when you tell it to. And you were telling it to do it once, before the scheduler started.

[turbid tide]

What exactly do you want from such a placeholder? To see a list of vanish players? To see if a player is vanished? etc.

Essentials has this one %essentials_vanished%

PremiumVanish also has some placeholders: https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/#premiumvanish
And so does SuperVanish: https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/#supervanish

Alos, if there aren't plugins listed on this page, that does not mean they don't have placeholders. Some have them built inside the plugin and prefer to list them on their own pages

[pure wind]

is there a placeholder that would show which side player is facing

[normal tartan]

This is the same code I had? And it looks like the setting of it is inside the scheduler to me?

[drowsy moon]

I want the server player count to decrease when someone is vanished

[turbid tide]

It is not the same code as you had. I moved the placeholder parsing inside the scheduler.

Your code was only parsing the placeholder once and then setting the old value back every second. My code parses the placeholder every second and sets the new value every second as well.

[turbid tide]

What vanish plugin do you use? If your plugin does not have a non vanished player count, it probably has a vanished player count. So you can use Math expansion to extract the vanished player count from the total

[turbid tide]

There is %player_yaw%. It returns the Player yaw.

Here's the documentation on it:

Gets the yaw of this location, measured in degrees.
A yaw of 0 or 360 represents the positive z direction.
A yaw of 180 represents the negative z direction.
A yaw of 90 represents the negative x direction.
A yaw of 270 represents the positive x direction.
Increasing yaw values are the equivalent of turning to your right-facing, increasing the scale of the next respective axis, and decreasing the scale of the previous axis.

[frosty reef]

would it be possible for a player's joined hostname to be a player extension placeholder?

so like %player_hostname%

like for specific hostname based rewards, like first join rewards if you joined through your websites mentioned domain

web.yourdomain.com

or specific rewards if you joined from a voting site

[quick spruce]

hey so i have a problem with expansions currently my server cant get any expansions for some reason and i cant add expansions through ecloud it just says "Failed to find an expansion named: Vault" whenever i try to add vault so im very confused

[turbid tide]

I don't think this is in the scope of a player placeholder. It is possible to implement it, but the expansion would need to hold a map of player-hostname for each connected player.

[turbid tide]

@quick spruce

[quick spruce]

ty

[frosty reef]

that is true, didnt think of that, so would need to be a custom extension then

[turbid tide]

I mean, I don't think this would be the first exception we make to the Player expansion. You could open an issue on github and see if someone is available to implement it

[normal tartan]

oooh i see where i put it wrong, i appreciate you!

[cursive pendant]

does anyone know how to ignore the player when using javascript extension for papi?

i got a plugin using setPlaceholders(null, "string")

and it cant parse the javascript placeholders

[junior musk]

you can't

[cursive pendant]

fuck off

😦

[junior musk]

uh

thanks I guess

[cursive pendant]

sorry man

im just annoyed

thats seems kind of dumb tho no?

[junior musk]

agreed

I was sure it was possible before, I guess not

[cursive pendant]

im cooked

[junior musk]

you could try to clone the expansion and recompile it without that line

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/blob/master/expansion/src/main/java/com/extendedclip/papi/expansion/javascript/JavascriptExpansion.java#L145

2021 🥲 https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Javascript-Expansion/issues/52

[cursive pendant]

idk if thats gonna cause me more issues

[junior musk]

better to make a proper expansion then

[neon ledge]

I need a placeholder that will display the nickname of the player the player is looking at. For example:
Player1 is looking at Player2
I need the Player1 placeholder to display the value 'Player2'

[turbid tide]

I don't believe there's an expansion for this

You would need to make your own

[neon ledge]

[calm mortar]

Does anyone know a scoreboard plugin that has papiproxybrige implemented for placehodlers from velocity and other servers connected within the proxy?

[little terrace]

Im on 1.8 and i want to make a lore display the live amount of players in a certain mv world what placeholder and expansion do i need

[pure wind]

is there a placeholder that would say if player has a targeted block or no (its the text on bottom right when you click f3)

[turbid tide]

%world_players_<world>%

[turbid tide]

If you still need this, I found %player_direction%. It should return N, NW, W, SW, S, SE, E, NE. And these values can be configured in configuration file: plugins/PlaceholderAPI/config.yml

I can't find one for target block however. Only block underneath

However, I think this is something that can and should be added to Player expansion.

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Player-Expansion/issues feel free to open an issue here

[little terrace]

what kind of placeholder expansion do i need

[turbid tide]

Usually, the expansion name is the first part of a placeholder. In this case it would be world.

/papi ecloud download world
/papi reload

[little terrace]

omg its working ily

thanks bro

[languid bay]

Hello! I want to use String's replaceCharacter to remove dots from a string, but it doesn't work. I've tried the following settings at replacements:

"[.]": ''
"'.'": ''
'\.': ''
"\.": ''
'.':''
".":''
'\\.':''
/\./g

And many other different combinations swapping double and single quotes, using double escapes, etc. Some load correctly but %string_replaceCharacters_nodots_{message}% doesn't remove the dots, and with other config attempts the yaml fails to load.
Help would be much appreciated.

[junior musk]

Use formatter instead
%formatter_text_replace_.__{message}%

had the same issue, I think there may be another way but eh, this is better

cc: @junior musk

[turbid tide]

Do these placeholders work if you try them with the /papi parse command?

[junior musk]

seems fine

[turbid tide]

The PlayerStats expansion requires the following plugin: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playerstats.102347/ to work.

[junior musk]

you probably want to remove the online. from the permission and only keep group.modis, otherwise it seems fine

[gentle prawn]

for some reason, the /papi reload command doesnt seem to be working after downloading an expansion from ecloud. it sends no response and the console just sends

[PlaceholderAPI] Placeholder expansion registration initializing...
[PlaceholderAPI] Fetching available expansion information...

even restarting the server doesnt seem to be registering the expansion hmm

[snow acorn]

Just been looking at this, you are on an old version of the expansion, please update

Unfortunately the latest version isnt verified, Im still waiting for the team to have time to do it

https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/floodgate/

[grave cedar]

Yeah it's been resolved

[tulip brook]

is it normal that parsing the luckperms_prefix placeholder returns an empty string?

i just updated both papi and luckperms and this problem persists

also %vault_prefix% doesn't work

anyone?

[turbid tide]

If the user has no prefix, yes. Also if the user is offline I believe.

[tulip brook]

they have group prefix and i am online

i am parsing to myself

How did you set the prefix? Did you set it on a group and then set that as a parent? Or some other way?

[tulip brook]

with the meta command

i did this command

/lp group default meta setprefix 0 "&8Utente &7"

any help is appreciated

?

i managed to fix it thanks to chatgpt btw.

server: "global"

this had to be set to global

i had set it to some other things

which mail

bro you sus as hell

[gentle prawn]

im on 2.11.6 which is the latest version on spigot. do I need to use the latest dev build?

oh you said expansion

not papi, nvm

let me see

btw im trying to use the Bungeecord expansion which that doesnt seem to be working

[turbid tide]

I went ahead and verified it. Sorry it took so long. It seems that despite the bumps we've just missed it.

In the future, feel free to directly ping me in cases like this where it takes too long to get an answer.

[snow acorn]

Thank you

[snow acorn]

Will do

Hello there
there is this papi expansion
https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/messageconverter/

does someone know of similar functionality, i need to convert &4Ex&nample text to minimessage format using this kind of papi expansion

[turbid tide]

There was one called Kyorify. You can try that one

[alpine notch]

how can I register on placeholderapi?

the site give me this error:

Well...
This is awkward.
Registration is currently locked. If you feel it is necessary to create an account, please join our discord and get in touch with us.

[turbid tide]

@balmy marten can help you with the process. However, as the message mentions, registration is locked unless necessary. I believe this means unless you have an expansion that must be external and can not be built into a plugin.

[alpine notch]

but I created a plugin with an external expansion

[junior musk]

is there a reason why you made it external and not included within the plugin?

[alpine notch]

just to amplify it, I had it then removed

[junior musk]

amplify what?

[dapper ember]

Is it possible to disable this math warning message?

[half briar]

In your PAPI config under math you can set Disable-Warnings: true

[strange pond]

hello

i need a little help

this i my code

function getCustomPartyMember1Health() {
    var partyMemberNameRaw = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(BukkitPlayer, "%mmocore_party_member_1%");
    var partyMemberName = String(partyMemberNameRaw).trim();
    if (partyMemberName && partyMemberName.length > 0) {
        return "parseother_unsafe_{" + partyMemberName + "}_{player_health_rounded}";
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

getCustomPartyMember1Health();

the problem is, player_health_rounded is parse before so the final string look like parseother_unsafe_{Chikage04}_20 instead of parseother_unsafe_{Chikage04}_{player_health_rounded}

[turbid tide]

function getCustomPartyMember1Health() {
    var partyMemberName = "%mmocore_party_member_1%".trim();
    if (partyMemberName && partyMemberName.length > 0) {
        return "parseother_unsafe_{" + partyMemberName + "}_{player" + "_health_rounded}";
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

getCustomPartyMember1Health();

You can try something like this. I think the JavaScript expansion parses placeholders first before actually compiling and executing the code. But I thought that was only true for placeholders using %.

[strange pond]

Oh yes, sorry, I removed the % to be able to see the raw string, but I didn't put it in the example. But it's actually %player_health_rounded% that's my problem.

That's it, I don't know if there's a way to make JavaScript not parse it in advance. Or else another method to achieve goal

you know, my initial problem is that I use %parseother_unsafe_{mmocore_party_member_1}_{player_health_round}% in a plugin but when %mmocore_party_member_1% is null it returns nothing, and it breaks the plugin

So, JavaScript expension was perfect for me

[turbid tide]

Split the placeholder in multiple strings (2 should be enough). Just like the example I gave

[strange pond]

same result

[strange pond]

ah sry

[restive nova]

working in 1.21.5?

[turbid tide]

Should be.

[turbid tide]

Can you share the current code you're trying please?

[restive nova]

♥

[strange pond]

i used the one you sent, and i just parse it with /papi parse me %javascript_test%

with parseother_unsafe_{" + partyMemberName + "}_{player" + "_health_rounded} it return parseother_unsafe_{Chikage04}_20
and
with %parseother_unsafe_{" + partyMemberName + "}_{player" + "_health_rounded}% it return player_health_rounded (this is weird too)

[turbid tide]

I am wondering, if you try /papi parse me %parseother_unsafe_{NAME}_{player_health_rounded}% in chat, what does it show? Please change NAME with an online player name.

[strange pond]

it return 20

the desired value

[strange pond]

im trying an another way

but my

var loader = papi.class.classLoader

dont work.
papi.class is null

[strange pond]

the other way i think was to directly change BukkitPlayer by %mmocore_party_member_1%
and doing this

function getCustomPartyMember1Health() {
    var partyMemberNameRaw = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(BukkitPlayer, "%mmocore_party_member_1%");
    var partyMemberName = String(partyMemberNameRaw).trim();
    if (partyMemberName && partyMemberName.length > 0) {
        return PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(%mmocore_party_member_1%, "player_health_rounded");
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

getCustomPartyMember1Health();

but since setPlaceholders wait for a type Player at first argument idk how to do

[half briar]

~~You have a variable there for the player name you can use partyMemberName instead of the placeholder for the argument . ~~You want the whole script getCustomPartyMember1Health to return just the health like 20?

[strange pond]

yes

[half briar]

function getCustomPartyMember1Health() {
  var partyMemberName = "%mmocore_party_member_1%".trim();
  if (partyMemberName && partyMemberName.length > 0) {
      var placeholder = "parseother_unsafe_{" + partyMemberName + "}_{player_health_rounded}";
      return PlaceholderAPI.static.setPlaceholders(null, "%" + placeholder + "%");
  } else {
      return 0;
  }
}

getCustomPartyMember1Health();

Can you try this? I replaced just %mmocore_party_member_1% with %player_name% to test on myself, testing the placeholder outputs only 20

[strange pond]

i removed the .static

is not working with it for me

it working man thx i so stupid to not had think about this

[reef turret]

don't use var

[dapper ember]

Thank you!

[knotty badge]

me.clip.placeholderapi.PlaceholderHook — 116MB. why is it using so much memory ?

[turbid tide]

You're not supposed to shade it

It all comes with PlaceholderAPI

[final wyvern]

hey, is it possible to parse papi placeholders using javascript or python somehow

[turbid tide]

The JavaScript expansion? Or what exactly are you trying to do? There are JavaScript interpreters for Java that you can use. And you can pass classes to it as well. That's what the JavaScript expansion does for example

I'm sure there's python interpreters as well

But I don't see why you would do that though

[final wyvern]

i'm looking to make a discord bot and i would like it to use a papi placeholder in a response

[final wyvern]

im using a lot of setPlaceholders to check player information constantly

[quartz juniper]

since when placeholder api not working on paper 1.21.4?

loads and shows working but still not even the command : /papi parse me %player_name% works since it returns %player_name%

@balmy marten

[quartz juniper]

sorry

[tender vapor]

Hey anto_flex!

If /papi parse me %player_name% returns %player_name%, PlaceholderAPI isn't parsing the placeholder correctly.

Here's a quick checklist:

1. Is PlaceholderAPI installed correctly? Double-check that the .jar file is in your plugins folder.
2. Did you install the expansion? Use /papi ecloud download Player and /papi reload.
3. Restart your server. A full restart is sometimes necessary after installing expansions.

If it's still not working after these steps, show me the output of /papi info!

[strange pond]

it has a way to do the same thing, without using setPlaceholder ?

[turbid tide]

JavaScript expansion is not light. It can be very lagy if heavily used.

I'd personally suggest making your own Java expansion if you have the knowledge and spare time.

[strange pond]

is parseother_unsafe_ optimized ?

it can be used a lot without lag ?

[turbid tide]

Definitely better than JavaScript expansion.

[strange pond]

so there are a whay to say always return a thing when using for exampleparseother_unsafe_{player_name}_{mmocore_mana} because something is null, it return the parseother return null and I would never want that to happen

[turbid tide]

You can maybe do some complicated stuff with the Utils expansion but I'm not sure. Once again, if your stuff is very complicated, I'd always suggest making your own expansion.

[turbid reef]

Does anyone know a placeholder for Velocity that only displays 2 servers online? %bungee_total% is not suitable because I have more than 2 servers

[turbid tide]

Well, you could use Math expansion to add up the count from your 2 servers.

%math_0:down_{bungee_SERVER1}+{bungee_SERVER2}%

[turbid reef]

The placeholder was not replaced.
placeholder math downloaded
%math_0:down_{main}+{farm}%

in console:
[22:05:53 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_0:down_{main}+{farm}% [22:05:53 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause: '{main}+{farm}' is not a valid Math expression.

[vivid sparrow]

the placeholder is {bungee_<server id>}, so it can't be just main/farm, it needs to be bungee_main/bungee_farm

[turbid tide]

Like Gaby mentioned, it needs to be %math_0:down_{bungee_main}+{bungee_farm}%

[turbid reef]

thanks its works

[gilded bough]

Alright Blitz, if you are listening I've found the root of the issue. PAPI b207 changes the way placeholders parse, which in turns causes all the downstream issues I'm having ): I don't suppose ChangeOutput can get an update to remedy this and have it process how it did before those PAPI changes?

[warm topaz]

what is the issue?

[gilded bough]

I've been working on debugging for two days now. PAPI build 207 fundamentally changes something in how placeholders parse, and that so far has affected ChangeOutputs reading of results

[gilded bough]

It completely breaks my calculator I've built, thats how I caught it

I reverted back to b206, all the issues go away

[gilded bough]

If you could take a look I'd appreciate it, I think you are the creator of ChangeOutput if I'm not mistaken?

[junior musk]

can you send the placeholder you're currently using?

and what it returns before & after updating to b207?

[shrewd owl]

Can anyone make me a LUA script for Roblox studio that makes a cool GUI coin system thanks for everry who'll make it

[gilded bough]

I am DMing you the screenshot I sent Blitz because I cannot send it here

[junior musk]

I'll try it out later, can't focus on anything rn

[gilded bough]

All good, sent you all the information I have, please ping me if you have any solutions

[lean kernel]

why whenever i try to do /papi ecloud download Statistic and then /papi reload it isnt installed when i do /pl

[gilded bough]

because PAPI downloads expansions, not plugins. Check your expansion list using /papi list

[cinder orchid]

Hello Why this placeholder is not working %checkitem_remove_mat:wheat,amt:{math_0:0_{checkitem_amount_mat:wheat}-{zquests_objective_npc-farmer-1}}%

[turbid tide]

You have 2 levels of nesting which is not possible

[cinder orchid]

how to make it work

[turbid tide]

You can maybe use the Utils expansion which has some nesting stuff. Or maybe, don't use an expansion to remove items?

Use a command instead

[cinder orchid]

can you give me an example please

[turbid tide]

minecraft:clear PLAYERNAME wheat %math_0:0_{checkitem_amount_mat:wheat}-{zquests_objective_npc-farmer-1}%

[cinder orchid]

it's a command ?

[turbid tide]

Yes. It is a command provided by minecraft

[cinder orchid]

i can't place a screen here

it d'ont work

[cinder orchid]

https://imgur.com/a/QqMhVNp

[muted gulch]

Is there a placeholder to check a connected players client "brand" (Ex. Vanilla, Forge, Fabric, ETC)?

[turbid tide]

What do you mean, it didn't work?

That screenshot is not making things very clear

[cinder orchid]

It's for a quest that I'm doing with a new quest plugin and I want to do it in such a way that it only takes 500 wheat from me.

[turbid tide]

Ok, and how much did it take?

[cinder orchid]

16

[turbid tide]

Did you have 500?

[cinder orchid]

500 is max item to deposit

[turbid tide]

When you executed the command, did you have 500 wheat in your inventory or not?

[cinder orchid]

Yes

hello,papi is support 1.21.5?

[vivid sparrow]

[tulip brook]

anyone knows a chatplugin that supports relational placeholders?

[strong frost]

Hello guys, can someone help me integrate Papi with Deluxe tags, I try to download the placeholders of the Tags but they don't appear in Papi's ecloud

[turbid tide]

You don't need to download anything anymore.

They come built in with the plugin

[strong frost]

I understand, it's because I use VentureChat, and I wanted the Tags to appear in the chat, I even try to put the placeholder there, but only %deluxetags_tag% remains but the TAG itself does not appear.

[turbid tide]

If you execute /papi parse me %deluxetags_tag% what does it return?

does it parse the tag properly?

[strong frost]

Yes, it analyzes the tag and gives it the correct return, now when I put it in the files, only the placeholder is left empty, I've tried several Tag plugins and I always come across this same problem.

[turbid tide]

Just to make sure I understand, does it show empty space, or does it show back the placeholder?

[deft wasp]

i'm tryig to see the return value of a papi parse but it's not giving me in in the command block

[gritty phoenix]

Hello, can someone help me with this :

[10:42:38 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_{VotingPlugin_lastmonthtotal}>=300%
[10:42:38 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause: '...>=300' is not a valid Math expression.```

[turbid tide]

Command Blocks don't support PlaceholderAPI. Maybe there are some plugins out there adding this functionality but I am not aware of any.

[turbid tide]

I don't think the math expansion allows comparisons.

Only operations such as addition, subtraction, etc.

[tulip brook]

anyone knows a chatplugin that supports relational placeholders?

[tulip brook]

anyone?

[gritty phoenix]

Is there an expansion for boolean placeholders ?

[tulip brook]

is there a way to do math with placeholders?

[rapid bobcat]

!paste

Hey! I have been using the Math expansion and placeholders with no problem recently, but suddenly today it all broke? Anyone know why?

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

Nevermind, figured it out haha!

[turbid tide]

I'm not exactly sure what this means exactly. Can you be a bit more specific please?

[turbid tide]

Yes. See the Math expansion

[half briar]

This should work 😓 You should get a 1 or 0 for true/false.
%math_100>=300% returns 0.000
Does votingplugin_lastmonthtotal return a number? The wiki mentions return codes that would break the expression, you can try %math_{votingplugin_lastmonthtotal_process}>=300%

  -  Add _process to end of placeholder to force a return value rather than . or .. if no cached value is ready, best option if you always need a value returned, do not use on main thread
  -  Add _nocache to end of placeholder to skip cache and retrive a live value, uses a direct mysql connection, do not use on main thread

[rapid bobcat]

How would I nest a placeholder inside formatter?

%formatter_number_shorten_{math_2*{player_y}}%

This doesn't seem to work

[turbid tide]

You can only nest once. Look into the Utils expansion which lets you nest multiple times.

[deft wasp]

how would i format nbtstrings to target minecraft:custom_data..id?
This doesn't work: papi parse DaisyEseyad %checkitem_amount_mat:CHAINMAIL_CHESTPLATE,nbtstrings:minecraft:custom_data..id=worn_chain_chestplate%

[jagged snow]

Maybe I overlooked the right message in my search, but is there a PlaceHolder, that converts the uuid to playername?

I found it: %parseother_{<UUID>}_{player_name}%

[naive glade]

I needed a way to send the value of certain placeholders to a database, but I couldn't find a suitable plugin. Here's what I came up with:
I have two plugins: LuckPerms and ConditionalEvents (https://ajneb97.gitbook.io/conditionalevents).
LuckPerms can display all user permissions and groups in the database, and CE can modify them however and whenever I want.
Would it be expedient and efficient to automatically/or when needed change a user's permission, specifically replacing "test_1_*" with "test_1_<placeholder_value>" to extract the placeholder's value, for use on my website?

[lament solstice]

Hi! I have a leaderboard that uses the Statistic Placeholder to run. But for some reason whenever a particular player goes up, one of my admins goes up too and is higher than them. Even if they are offline/not doing the leaderboard topic? Im unsure if this has anything to do with PAPI or not? But i thought id ask

Its only on one leaderboard too. Not on any of the other ones

[turbid tide]

What about the value of the Statistic placeholder. Does it change for the admin or not?

If only the leaderboard changes but not the Statistic placeholder value, then it is most likely an issue with the leaderboard setup.

[turbid tide]

If you can't code your own plugin to update your own database, then I guess this could work. But maybe, instead of permissions, use LuckPerms meta values?

[lament solstice]

How would i find this out? Is there a command to see the placeholder value?

[lament solstice]

sorry

[turbid tide]

Yes. You can use the /papi parse PLAYERNAME %placeholder% command.

If you want to test for yourself, you can use me instead of player name.

[leaden bay]

Hey, is there any way to format a placeholder (for example, the Spark TPS placeholder) without the placeholder overriding that formatting? Or is it possible that Spark returns the raw data without formatting?

[sharp bloom]

most likely because the color isn't included like that in the name, just hold the item in your main hand, and do /paper dumpitem

[half briar]

It is a number. 🤔 Make sure you're using %statistic_player_kills% not statistics, only way I could replicate your error

[astral galleon]

Hello, I made a math placeholder that calculates the KD of a kill/death player, everything seems to work correctly and without errors, but if the player just logged on to the server and his stats are 0/0, then the placeholder stops working can you help?

%math_0:0_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_deaths}%

[turbid tide]

That's probably because deaths is 0 and division by 0 is not possible. I am not sure what you can do here. I'll have a look if the Math expansion has anything for this.

Couldn't find anything for it.

[cinder schooner]

Is there any placeholder that checks the modifier attributes of an item?

Whixh version is for 1.21.5,

[turbid tide]

Let me check

Looking at their Modrinth page, version 7.0.14 should work. I am not sure why it doesn't work then. I suggest you contact them. They do have a discord server.

[turbid reef]

Is there a placeholder that will check if the player has a texture pack installed, if yes - a symbol is displayed that will be replaced with an image, if not - any text, any sentence, a word for a tab is displayed?

[turbid tide]

I've been looking but unfortunatelly I couldn't find one that exists already

[dense karma]

hey

im a bit confused on the purpose of relational placeholders.

I get how they work but when i tried them out i trought it would automatticly use protocollib or so behind the scenes to show the placeholder differently based on viewer and target;
However turns out i would need to implement my own packets to for example make a text display show up differently for each player

Is that true?

And is the purpose of the api then only for developers that make public plugins to let users who download their plugin being able to change stuff in the config using placeholders?

[junior musk]

That's exactly how it works.
PlaceholderAPI doesn't parse anything by default, it just allows other developers to create their own expansions (whether they're external and can be downloaded from the ecloud like the Player expansion, or internal and therefore directly inside their own plugin like the TAB expansion), and also allows parsing those placeholders, with or without a/2 player(s)

There are some placeholders that don't require any players like %server_online%, allowing you to call PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders while passing null as the OfflinePlayer instance, though most of them require one like %player_name%. It depends.

And there's also relational placeholders which depend on 2 players to be parsed, for example, %rel_factionsuuid_relation% that returns whether you're in the same team, an ally or an enemy

[dense karma]

alr thanks for the detailed explanation

[dense karma]

is there some way to suggest new features here?

I would like that the api allows to disable the belowname objective per player.

[junior musk]

that's not up to PlaceholderAPI

and it's not possible at all, MC doesn't allow that, it shows the belowname objective on all player entities with nametag visible, no exceptions

[unreal echo]

alright,

[unreal echo]

huh

[sly obsidian]

Hello! You can help. To configure. To show up. The players. Was it possible? Press the button. And teleport. To the other north.

[rustic swan]

does PAPI work in version 1.21.6?

[sharp jay]

Should did you test it

[rustic swan]

no not yet

if i run into any issues ill let ya know

[peak token]

hey have u been able to test it?

[timid plover]

"Use Discord/Github to ask for help. I don't know what PAPI Checkitem is, it's possible they have the nbtapi shaded in an older version, that just doesn't yet support 1.21.5. In that case, contact the author."

• NBTAPI plugin developer said.

Dunno how to explain my inquiry but pretty much just gonna ask if the latest version of papi works with NBTAPI. As I'm using PAPI Checkitem to check what the player is holding but requires NBTAPI to work for some reason. Any help is much appreciated

[warm topaz]

try pinned messages. there is an updated version of checkitem there

[timid plover]

Nope didnt work. its saying this This Server-Version(1.21.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT) is not supported by this NBT-API Version(2.13.2) located in PlaceholderAPI.

[austere hawk]

Is there an expansion that adds a placeholder for player count?

[junior musk]

/papi ecloud download Server
/papi reload
%server_online%

[turbid tide]

And if you want to see player counts on other servers in the network:

/papi ecloud download Bungee
/papi reload
%bungee_SERVERNAME%

[turbid tide]

Can you execute /papi dump and send the generated link here please?

[austere hawk]

Thanks

[rustic swan]

not yet im currently setting up an entirely new server so its gonna take a while

[peak token]

ah rip

has anyone else tested it out on 1.21.6?

[warm topaz]

papi itself should work, but its usually some expansions that may not work

[proper wadi]

Hello! I have a TAB Scoreboard and I want it to be a bit more specific than 12M. If you have 12,300,000 I want it to say 12.3M. anyone know how to do that?

[turbid tide]

What placeholder are we talking about here?

[proper wadi]

For vault currency

[turbid tide]

What placeholder are you using right now?

[proper wadi]

expansions:
vault:
formatting:
thousands: k
millions: M
billions: B
trillions: T
quadrillions: Q

[proper wadi]

Does that help?

I'm using placeholderAPI

[turbid tide]

So %vault_balance_formatted% I assume? I've looked to see if it is possible but I couldn't find a placeholder to return what you want.

[proper wadi]

thats what i am using

[proper wadi]

Is there a suggestions channel or something to ask for it?

[turbid tide]

Github issues I guess

[gloomy marsh]

papi cmdparse @p minecraft:setblock %superior_island_x% %superior_island_y% %superior_island_z% minecraft:snow replace

i try to work a command

[14:32:32 INFO]: Failed to find player: @p

also when i use %player_name%

or %player

[turbid tide]

/papi ecloud download player then /papi reload. And use %player_name%

[gloomy marsh]

yeah

papi parse me %player_name%

returns me the name

but papi cmdparse %player_name% minecraft:setblock %superior_island_x% %superior_island_y% %superior_island_z% minecraft:snow replace

return me

Failed to find player: %player_name%

[turbid tide]

Ah. That's because you have to select a command target

papi cmdparse PLAYERNAME minecraft:setblock @p %superior_island_x% %superior_island_y% %superior_island_z% minecraft:snow replace

all parse commands need a target

and only valid ones are me/--null/PLAYERNAME

]
},

[turbid tide]

triggered by?

[gloomy marsh]

superiorineblock

[turbid tide]

I'm not exactly sure what that is? I do have a question though. Does it support PlaceholderAPI placeholders?

[gloomy marsh]

yeah

but

papi cmdparse

dont support

%player_name%

but it works wiuth germanantonio

(my nick)

[turbid tide]

yes of course it doesn't. it can't parse a player name if it doesn't know the player. Why do you even use cmdparse instead of executing the command directly?

[gloomy marsh]

for the x y z placeholders

of oneblock block

its different coords for each players

[turbid tide]

Yes. But if your plugin already supports PlaceholderAPI placeholders, why are you executing the command using the papi command?

[gloomy marsh]

i try without cmdparse :c

but dont works

[turbid tide]

That means what you said is wrong. The plugin you use to execute the command does not support PlaceholderAPI placeholders.

So now, can you please share what plugin exactly this is? Link would be best

[gloomy marsh]

Superior Skyblock Oneblock addon

[turbid tide]

Can you please send a link to a Spigot page?

Or any other page

[gloomy marsh]

https://github.com/BG-Software-LLC/SSB-OneBlock

[turbid tide]

Alright. Looking at their default files, you can use {player} to get the player name

    {
      "action": "command",
      "execute": [
        "papi cmdparse {player} minecraft:setblock %superior_island_x% %superior_island_y% %superior_island_z% minecraft:snow replace",
        "papi cmdparse {player} minecraft:setblock %superior_islandx% %math_{superior_island_Y}-1% %superior_island_z% minecraft:grass_block replace"
       ]
    },```

something like this maybe?

try it and see what happens

[gloomy marsh]

[15:31:42 INFO]: GeRmAnAnToNiO issued server command: /oneblock setphase GeRmAnAnToNiO 3

You are not using the CheckItem version from pinned messages.

wtf

[turbid tide]

Please do the following:

1. Go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/ and delete file Expansion-checkitem.jar.
2. Download the expansion from here #placeholder-api message and place it in the same folder plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/
3. Execute /papi reload.

[timid plover]

will sure do afterwork

[turbid tide]

My guess is that the chunks need to be loaded for the minecraft command to work and they're not

[gloomy marsh]

im on oneblock chunk

[turbid tide]

Can you try executing the command from chat instead?

See if that way it works?

[gloomy marsh]

yeah it works

with my name

but with {player}

[turbid tide]

So executing this in chat works?

/papi cmdparse GeRmAnAnToNiO minecraft:setblock %superior_island_x% %superior_island_y% %superior_island_z% minecraft:snow replace

[gloomy marsh]

yep

any idea why this placeholder wont parse

[junior musk]

/papi parse me %mask_player_heart_color%test

what does this return?

[turbid tide]

Probably nothing since it is a relational placeholder.

[turbid tide]

Relational placeholders are used like this: %rel_mask_player_heart_color%.

And these placeholders are special. Plugins need to specifically add support for them. Instead of PlaceholderAPI#setPlaceholders, PlaceholderAPI#setRelationalPlaceholders should be used.

If you want to test it, you can use /papi parserel PLAYER1 PLAYER2 %rel_mask_player_heart_color%

[junior musk]

oh right lol

didn't notice

[junior musk]

(and add some text at the end of the parselrel cmd since you're only returning a color, otherwise you'll just see an empty line in chat)

[jagged tangle]

i did do the papi rel; thing and it didnt work

[junior musk]

by "didnt work", did it not show anything? did it return back the placeholder? what did it show?

[coarse fulcrum]

does placeholderapi work in 1.19.4 server??

[stone edge]

afaik, should work, if it doesn't. share your error here so someone can help you

can you help me ??

[bitter heath]

Hi, is pAPI ready for the new minecraft version? 🙂

[warm topaz]

try and see

should do, it's mainly expansions that can break occasionally with new releases

[turbid tide]

with?

[velvet root]

Hello! I try to use the Progress (progress_bar) placeholder, but I've got problems with it.

My scoreboard line (and my placeholder in it):

- " &e[%progress_bar_3_c:&c■_p:&c■_r:&7■_l:10_m:10%&e]"

So the maximum is 10 squares right?

But my progress bar only shows that: https://pasteboard.co/yhKGOdQaHmxT.png

(Sorry but I don't have permission to send images, so I've sent a link)

[turbid tide]

If you try /papi parse me &e[%progress_bar_3_c:&c■_p:&c■_r:&7■_l:10_m:10%&e] does it show correctly?

[velvet root]

Oh, yes it is

So maybe I have a character limit in the tab plugin right?

[turbid tide]

That's what I'm thinking as well

[velvet root]

Thank you for your help!

Have a nice day ❤️

[raw lily]

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I have custom weapons on my server, and I want to give the mob an effect when it's hit. I've been trying to figure out which placeholder to use for a long time.

[wary citrus]

Im having an issue related to the placeholderAPI, it seems to load fine, but in game any of my placeholders are loaded, I need to use /papi reload to actually load all the placeholders in game

someone know how to fix it?

same thing in /papi parse me (placeholder)

it only works if i reload the plugin

[proven sierra]

Does anybody know of a placeholder API that I can use for my server that actually works with deaths and kills because all of the placeholder APIs I use don't really work they show up on my scoreboard but when I just decide to kill myself in game they don't respond can anybody please help me I very much appreciate it

And I know I'm not supposed to be talking about plugins but if anybody can suggest me a plugin for that too let me know

I've tried all of the ones I know of on the Internet and the ones with APIs and not sort of not worked or if they did they just clogged my console

If anybody knows of anything that can help me please ping me thanks

[simple compass]

I'm having an issue with PlaceholderAPI & Multiverse. This is the error it's giving me:
[PlaceholderAPI] Failed to load expansion class MultiverseExpansion (Is a dependency missing?)

[warm topaz]

what version of multiverse are u using

[warm topaz]

if they placeholder is displaying fine, it will be up to the scoreboard plugin to refresh the placeholder accordingly
you can check that the raw value is updating in /papi parse me %placeholder%

[proven sierra]

My tab plugin is the same thing I used the scoreboard I don't use another scoreboard plugin so do I do the same thing or no

[proven sierra]

I'm sorry for doing that but I always do that without directly pinging them

[young sorrel]

Use statistics kills and death placeholder

[proven sierra]

ok t hx

[proven sierra]

It just sent me back to the same website I was at previously but I found another website it's perfect it fixed my entire situation

If anyone of you guys are looking for a deaths or a kills plug in with working API look for plugin called player stats

And the plug in before I had this one kept clogging my console I don't know if that's done it to you guys but it definitely fixed that issue

click here if you want the plugin I used to fix many issues I had

https://builtbybit.com/resources/player-stats-pvp-stats-placeholderapi.51159/

[young sorrel]

Website? They aren’t supposed to send you to any website they’re just visual placeholders

[proven sierra]

They send me to multiple websites because I'm trying to find either a working placeholder API for what I'm trying to do with it in my scoreboard or find a plugin with an actual working placeholder API already in it and working which I found

The only reason why I put that website in this channel is in case anybody's trying to look for the same thing that they're having trouble with trying to look for a placeholder API for kills and deaths if anybody is having issues with that I just wanna be generous and give them a link to a free plugin that makes it a hell lot easier than the one I was going through I'm just trying to help everybody else out if I find something else

[young sorrel]

You don’t need a plugin or anything like that to get kills and death visible on scoreboard

[young sorrel]

.. this is the easiest way

[proven sierra]

I know you don't but I've been trying to find a working API for a long time and I couldn't find one but I found a plug in that actually made that possible

[young sorrel]

Why a plugin when there’s statistics

[proven sierra]

I'm not trying to use the command I'm trying to put it on the scoreboard and all of the APIs I ran into doesn't work or they're out of date the plugin I downloaded has a working API in it and I just downloaded it and it works perfectly fine now

[young sorrel]

%statistic_player_kills%

For kills

[proven sierra]

Is that API work

And what about for desths

deaths*

[young sorrel]

%statistic_deaths%

For deaths

Download Statistics papi

You don’t need any plugin for this

[proven sierra]

If I would've known that beforehand I wouldn't have downloaded the plugin

[young sorrel]

Bruh

[proven sierra]

I'm just gonna try that out just a bit

[young sorrel]

Now yk

[proven sierra]

The plug in is perfectly fine I'm gonna test out the API just in case 2

I very much appreciate helping me

[young sorrel]

Alr

[young sorrel]

Yw

[proven sierra]

I'm guessing that API basically tells you how many kills or dash you got in the entire game and you can't even reset it it keeps track of everything

Like even before you had the API installed if you would kill somebody you can still track it

You would still count it even though it wasn't installed back then that was nice

[half briar]

You can reset it, the stats folder in the world folder is where MC stores statistics by UUID iirc 🤔 You'd have to match the player to their UUID, but it's where the expansion pulls the data from. There's lots of stats kept track of so careful if you do something like that 😓 https://minecraft.wiki/w/Statistics

[proven sierra]

I appreciate that for the know how to reset it but I'm not planning on doing that anytime soon I wanna keep it original as possible I just didn't know about that API till now

[proven sierra]

I very much appreciate for both of you helping me out I very much appreciate it thank you

[half briar]

Of course 😁

[half briar]

I should've double checked, it's the stats folder. I updated my reply but to make sure you saw 😅

[fallen niche]

does checkitem have support for item models

[turbid tide]

no it does not

[placid smelt]

    deny_commands:
      - '[message] &cYou don’t have enough credits!'```

I'm trying to make it so when I have above 1000 credits, it will give me 1 diamond and when i have below 1000 it'll send me a message saying i dont have enough

am I doing anything wrong here?

Oh my god bro

It works

I was struggling with it from the past 2 days, thank you very much

[torpid vortex]

?

[junior musk]

you're trying to use the Reparser expansion though it requires Java 23 while you're on 21

if you don't want to updtae your java version, you can remove it from your /plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/ folder

from what I can see, it does something that you can also achieve with the Utils expansion by using %utils_parse:#_<placeholder>%, # being the amount of times you want to reparse the placeholder, for example: %utils_parse:2_luckperms_prefix%

if your LuckPerms prefix contains a placeholder like %img_owner%, this would return its output and not just the img placeholder unparsed

[floral crane]

Heyaaa Blitz ^_^
could you check this out when you're available ? 🙏

[turbid tide]

Oh. I'm so sorry. I guess I never pushed the changes. This one should fix it.

dw about it haha
thanks again for this ❤️
This will be a powerful tool for admins

[turbid tide]

I don't remember if I tested this or not. Please let me know how it goes.

[viral isle]

hey is there a placeholder to get the potioneffect lvl or else check if the player has the potioneffect + lvl

cant seem to find it in the papi list but im sure im not the only one that wanted to use a placeholder for that

[turbid tide]

There is one for checking if the player has o potion effect. Can't find one that checks the level as well. %player_has_potioneffect_<effect>%

[viral isle]

yes i saw that but i want to also check for the lvl 😅

or get the lvl

[turbid tide]

Please open a ticket here: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Player-Expansion/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen. I'll try to add this some time

[spark stag]

What about end and nether, %world_players_world_nether% and %world_players_world_the_end% don't want to work, however %world_players_world% works tho, why?
https://imgur.com/a/plzTABT /mv list

[torpid vortex]

"&f%parseother_unsafe_{{player}}_{luckperms_prefix}%"

Should I put that in the parsd utils? And change the number to 4?

[torpid vortex]

I'm trying to get another player's prefix %player% tells me the player's name (command arg)

And %luckperms_prefix% returns %img_ID%

I don't know how to do it, I would appreciate some help.

[turbid tide]

try: %world_players_*world_nether*%

Since the world name has underscores, the placeholder needs to know where the world name starts and ends. You can use * for that.

[weak wasp]

Trying to use the CheckItem expansion to display the name of an internal PublicBukketValues value. This used to work in the past but hasn't for a long time (since presumably somewhere in 1.21)

Does anyone know what might be up?

Looking into it, this has apparently been an issue with CheckItem since last year.

[clear vapor]

idk what papi is so im here

[turbid tide]

A couple weeks ago I've pushed an update to the CheckItem expansion. Have you upgraded to that?

[weak wasp]

I have, yes.

[turbid tide]

Can you execute /papi dump and send the generated link here?

Anyone help, can i get maven for papi ?

[torpid vortex]

Why does %parseother_{{player}}_{luckperms_prefix}% return luckperms_prefix?

[glad pier]

I own a survival server and I am using placeholder statistic_player_kills but I think this placeholder also counts the killing the mob. Does anyone know other placeholder which only counts pvp kills??

[turbid tide]

Have you downloaded the luckperms expansion? /papi ecloud download luckperms then /papi reload

[turbid tide]

https://repo.helpch.at/

[minor gorge]

There might be several, I dont know, but if you like the concept of pvponedoteigth plugin I can add that to it.

[glad pier]

also i had a doubts whats the difference between %statistic_hours_played% and %statistic_time_played:hours% ??

[junior musk]

first one is your total playtime in hours

second is the hours part of the %statistic_time_played% placeholder

[glad pier]

ooh i see thanks

[onyx cairn]

How can I get playtime from all servers?

And yes I’m using proxy for all servers

[junior musk]

you'd need a playtime plugin that, works across servers

[onyx cairn]

The thing is that I tried with MariaDB but it never worked it just showed the placeholder %% and it never gave me the playtime….

Currently I’m using plan plugin for this with JavaScript but I don’t think if this is a good method tho

[junior musk]

MariaDB is a database service, not a Spigot plugin

a database would be required to store the data yeah, but you'd need a plugin that supports that

of that Plan plugin doesn't synchronize data across servers, then you'll need to find another one

[onyx cairn]

I know mariadb is a database service that’s why I mentioned, I need the database so that all servers are synchronized. What I meant is that Plan plugin, has the playtime built-in and with the help of JavaScript it can be done, however I found a playtime fork, https://github.com/852DuartePls/PlayTime

I’m use this instead of the js I was using

‘var duration = parseInt("%plan_player_time_total_raw%");

var seconds = Math.floor(duration / 1000);
var minutes = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
var hours = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
var days = Math.floor(hours / 24);

hours = hours % 24;
minutes = minutes % 60;
seconds = seconds % 60;

var result = "";
if (days > 0) {
result += days + "d ";
}
if (hours > 0) {
result += hours + "h ";
}
if (minutes > 0) {
result += minutes + "m";
}

result = result.trim();
if (result === "") {
result = "0m";
}
result;’

and yes this works perfectly ^ however it might have some performance issues

[junior musk]

%formatter_number_time_{plan_...}%

Hey, I’m having an issue with PlaceholderAPI (v2.11.6) on Minecraft 1.21.6 (Java 21):
The Server expansion is installed and shows up in /papi list, but none of its placeholders are working — for example:

/papi parse me %statistic_kill_entity_zombie%

Just returns the raw %statistic_kill_entity_zombie%, no value.
Other placeholders from Player like %player_name% work fine.

What I’ve already tried:

• /papi ecloud download Server and /papi reload
• Restarted the server (not /reload)
• Killed mobs, mined blocks to ensure data exists
• Confirmed expansion is listed and active

[warm topaz]

%statistic_kill_entity:zombie%

[pliant goblet]

/papi parse me %statistic_kill_entity:zombie%

still the "reply" is:
%statistic_kill_entity:zombie%

:/

[warm topaz]

run /papi dump and send it here please

[minor gorge]

before statistics you should put the plugin name?

[fading karma]

hi what happened to the placeholderapi for Skript?

I'm doing /papi ecloud download Skript and it's not recognised anymore

despite it being there on the wiki

[torpid vortex]

¿?

[half briar]

Unverified expansions you need to download and place the jar in your expansions folder manually

[torpid vortex]

Third day asking for help

[lethal breach]

aside from using %math% PAPI, any other option to calculate to reduce loading times? We have a GUI and wanted to calculate everything when opening the GUI

[unborn cradle]

Weird, Im using

Utils Parseother, Should I parse placeholder instead?:

%utils_parseother:[<trigger.name>]_{math_{score_variables_DamageAmount}/{score_variables_BossHealth}*100}%

[04:51:42 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Placeholder: %math_0/0*100%
[04:51:42 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] [math] Cause:       '0/0*100' is not a valid Math expression.```

I realized, I am using it wrong. However I do be lost

[junior musk]

your BossHealth placeholder returned 0, so you're dividing by 0

which throws an error

[unborn cradle]

I see

I found a few errors because of this. ty

So I did all that work for it to count clicks on the mob rather than the actual damage amount

nice image

[sacred orbit]

yeah the bug is that some placeholders are not working on 1.21.7 server but i don't know why

[warm topaz]

have you downloaded the expansions?

/papi ecloud download server then /papi reload

[sacred orbit]

yes

https://imgur.com/a/GOEUoyI

[warm topaz]

send ur startup log

?startuplog

[sacred orbit]

fixed

I had to update TAB - Bridge plugin

[torpid vortex]

When using papi Parse it gives me this error https://mclo.gs/z2xo1Gz but when using it in a menu it only returns the placeholder without %x% for example luckperms_prefix

[junior musk]

you need to surround the player name in {}

[torpid vortex]

Returns the placeholder without %

[junior musk]

send a screenshot

or the log

[torpid vortex]

https://imgur.com/a/gmxeK0X

[junior musk]

/papi parse me %luckperms_prefix%

what does that return?

if it returns %luckperms_prefix%, then you may have forgotten to download the LuckPerms expansion, in which case you'll need to run the following commands:
/papi ecloud download LuckPerms
/papi reload

[torpid vortex]

https://mclo.gs/H4giWH6

[torpid vortex]

Returns %img_founder%

[junior musk]

/papi ecloud download Utils
/papi reload
%utils_parseother:[<player>]_utils_parse:2_{luckperms_prefix}]

[torpid vortex]

%utils_parseother:[ImJedss]_utils_parse:2_{luckperms_prefix}%

Returns %%luckperms_prefix%%

Hi! i have papi and bungee expansion the problem is bungee is showing number of players ( %bungee_total%) on HUB server but on SMP server (connected to the same VELOCITY proxy) it's not showing number of players, even when i use %bungee_smp% it shows only the placeholder, not the number. how to fix it?

even /papi parse doesn't help

[turbid tide]

@oblique shuttle see this

[junior musk]

/papi ecloud download Bungee
/papi reload

[junior musk]

try /papi parse me %utils_parseother:[ImJedss]_utils_parse:2_\{luckperms_prefix\}%

[vital plank]

I tried it it doesn't help

[junior musk]

it still shows %bungee_total%?

[vital plank]

Yea

Can some plugins block it maybe?

[junior musk]

send the link you get from /papi dump

[vital plank]

🤷

[vital plank]

okay it's starting

give me a second and i'll tell you

it works, after server restart but this is strange

about server crashing/restarting/stop etc. here is my logs if you can help me with it:

Hello!, is PAPI compatible with the 1.21.7 Minecraft Versión?

[sacred orbit]

Yes

[rare dock]

Oh, I ask because I get an error everytime I launch the server and the plugin doesn't work, does it need something else in addition to the plugin?

Maybe no

I don't remember anymore

I'll keep waiting, I've been with this for 3 days now.

[unborn cradle]

Try /papi parse --null %utils_parseother:[{player_name}]_{luckperms_prefix}%

[torpid vortex]

%%img_founder%%

That's what comes back to me, my god I don't understand

[unborn cradle]

%img_founder% is a TAB only prefix

You're LuckPerms prefix should look like prefix.weight.:founder:

Read: https://itemsadder.devs.beer/plugin-usage/adding-content/ranks-prefixes

so the LP prefix shouldnt be prefix.weight.%img_founder%

[torpid vortex]

My prefix is %img_founder% which is an itemsadder image but it returns me the value with double %

[unborn cradle]

Why are you using parseother in the first place?

If you want to just get the players prefix. It would be %luckperms_prefix%, You dont need to parse the player and then the prefix

[torpid vortex]

Why I want to get another player's prefix I guess

[unborn cradle]

Do /papi ecloud download ParseOther
and then /papi reload
then try
%parseother_{player_name}_{luckperms_prefix}%

[unborn cradle]

@torpid vortex /papi parse me %utils_parseother:[ImJedss]_utils_parse:2_\luckperms_prefix\%

This one worked

/papi parse me %parseother_unsafe_{player_name}_{luckperms_prefix}%

This also works

[unborn cradle]

Within the [] which contain the player name you have the specify the players name. You cannot use the %player_name% within the name brackets. However the second one, you can

[unborn cradle]

@mint fable

[unborn cradle]

Screw you barry, Im just tryna help

[torpid vortex]

Try

[unborn cradle]

I modified it from the earlier version. It should just show the prefix

[torpid vortex]

Yes that did work for me

[unborn cradle]

Now you have a working version. Sorry it took so long for me to help you out. Just getting back into PAPI and MC Development

[torpid vortex]

This didn't work for me when using it in a deluxe menu.

[unborn cradle]

yes, because it will display the user their luckperms prefix and not the player selected

May I see your DeluxeMenu config?

[torpid vortex]

Work %utils_parseother:[{player}]_utils_parse:2_\luckperms_prefix\%

[unborn cradle]

Ah alright. Then it should be fixed for you then right?

[torpid vortex]

Yes, thank you very much. I've been waiting for this help for days.
