placeholder-api

[unborn cradle]

Sorry it took a minute to figure out. Its been a minute since I did anything with PAPI

[torpid vortex]

Okay, thank you very much indeed.

[unborn cradle]

No problem, Let me know if you need anymore help with anything. I used to be quite skilled at PAPI and DeluxeMenus

[torpid vortex]

Thanks!

[slow bear]

Hey, i've made an expansion for PAPI and want to get it onto ecloud where and how do i do that?

[balmy marten]

Ay, nice work. What's it do

[native pumice]

Hey.
I tried creating an account on eCloud, but it redirected me here. I'd like to upload a standalone expansion I made to randomly generate a color on each parse with multiple formats; Hex, Hexadecimal & legacy minecraft colors.
How would I be able to create an account if that's possible right now? Thanks 😄

[vivid sparrow]

Before publishing a new expansion, see if the functionality can be integrated into an existing expansion.

[cinder orchid]

hello i have a problem with my placeholder

[unborn cradle]

Nice description!

[cinder orchid]

%math_0:0_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}%

%math_0:0_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}%

[unborn cradle]

What does it out print? do /papi parse me %math_0:0_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}%

[cinder orchid]

It was still working a few days ago and suddenly the placeholder came loose.

[unborn cradle]

What does the placeholder return?

[cinder orchid]

same placeholder

and not the good result

[unborn cradle]

run /papi parse me %math_0:0_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}% what does it show

[cinder orchid]

[unborn cradle]

Did you install all the placeholder extensions you are using?

[cinder orchid]

yes

[unborn cradle]

/papi ecloud download math
/papi ecloud download checkitem
/papi ecloud download luckperms
/papi ecloud download playerpoints
/papi reload

try running those again

[cinder orchid]

https://imgur.com/tIM8w3G

[unborn cradle]

try doing this:

%utils_parse_math_0:0_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}%

and do /papi ecloud download utils

[cinder orchid]

https://imgur.com/9f8yMCK

[unborn cradle]

Thats a better output

[cinder orchid]

yes

[unborn cradle]

try doing %utils_parseplaceholder:[math_0:round_{0.05 * {checkitem_amount_mat:coal} * {luckperms_meta_shop} + (0.05 * {checkitem_amount_mat:coal} * {luckperms_meta_shop}) * (0.0{playerpoints_points})}]%

Cause you are parsing a placeholder

[cinder orchid]

no

[unborn cradle]

try:

%utils_parse_math_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}%

[cinder orchid]

no

@idle coral can you help me please and sorry for the ping

[unborn cradle]

one last thing to try:

%utils_parse_math_0:down_(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})+(0.05*{checkitem_amount_mat:coal}*{luckperms_meta_shop})*0.0{playerpoints_points}%

math_0:0 does not exist anymore

Also, It could be an issue with you're decimals

[cyan quiver]

I have holograms and I wantr the players prefix to be shown back to them

[unborn cradle]

All you have to do is %luckperms_prefix%

[slow bear]

Basically %smallcaps_text_TEXTHERE% and then text here would translate into ᴛᴇxᴛʜᴇʀᴇ

[slow bear]

ah mb!

But i'd like to get it onto Ecloud is that possible?

[unborn cradle]

Thats a thing

[slow bear]

Oh whats it called

i might have missed it then

@slow bear

[slow bear]

Yeah

that sucks 😦

[unborn cradle]

Sorry

[slow bear]

i thought i had a good idea but its fine 😄 i learned to how translate message input into a custom / different font

its fine dw!

not your fault

[unborn cradle]

https://api.extendedclip.com/expansions/servermanager/ - this is my favorite PAPI extension. Its very useful. I created a GUI permission manager via DeluxeMenus and using this extension

[cyan quiver]

No

Thats not what imeant

For the player on the hologram

IIt should be their rank

Not ur rank

Cause if you add that placeholder then your rank will show on everyones name

[unborn cradle]

utils_parseother:[{player_name}]_luckperms_prefix%

[cyan quiver]

no

bro

no

i use vault

simple aj leadeboard

[unborn cradle]

Change luckperms prefix to vault_prefix

[languid bay]

I'm using %checkitem_amount_mat:AIR,inslot:8% to check amount of air in a specific slot, which should either return 0 or 1, but instead of returning 1, it returns exactly 2147483647.
While using the amount without the slot, returns the correct amount of empty slots

[ocean basin]

Does anyone happen to know the Advanced Skills placeholders? I am creating a menu and I need the progress placeholder but the one they have listed on their website isnt working.

This is the placeholder that I am using : %advancedskills_points_needed_woodcutting%

[unborn cradle]

Air cannot have an amount

%checkitem_inslot:8,material:AIR% @languid bay

Almost had it there

It displays "yes" or "no"

[unborn cradle]

It might be case-sensitive for some reason. Try capitalizing the first W in woodworking

[ocean basin]

I appreciate the response! Someone from my ticket in AP finally answered and its actually a bug. Thank you!

[unborn cradle]

Ah, That sucks. GC support is slow too. You mustve been waiting a minute for a response

[ocean basin]

Yeah haha I was

Have you made any menus to change up the advanced skills?

[unborn cradle]

Nah, I dont use the plugin. I made my own types of skills anyway with ExecutableEvents

[ocean basin]

Interesting. I think im going to have to use a different skills plugin for what I am trying to do.

Alot of the AS functions are internal so its not doing what I need. Lol

[unborn cradle]

EcoSkills is a good maintained plugin. It requires a lot of in-depth configuration knowledge. If you want to go the best route without coding your own skills. I use ExecutableEvents for skills

[ocean basin]

I will look into that for this project. Thank you so much for the info!

[unborn cradle]

ExecutableEvents takes deeper configuration knowledge than EcoSkills but it has a GUI menu to assist a little bit with Event handling creation

[ocean basin]

Im sure I can handle either of them. Ill look at both. Il

[unborn cradle]

@ocean basin #showcase message - This is only the beginning you can do with Executable Events. I made a whole boss fight percentage system via EE

[ocean basin]

OH thanks! Ill take a look!

[viscid orbit]

hello i get these warnings in console:

[15:33:16 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] Cannot load expansion playerstats due to a missing plugin: PlayerStats [15:33:16 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] Cannot load expansion advancedbungee due to an unknown issue. [15:33:16 WARN]: [PlaceholderAPI] Cannot load expansion playertime due to a missing plugin: PlayerTime

how can i get rid of them ?

[unborn cradle]

Under /plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions, You should see playerstats, advancedbungee and playertime. You can delete those files. Then do /papi reload and it should be fixed

[tired jetty]

can anyone explain how to use the papi plugin on proxy servers when my plugin like TAB is on the proxy server and the papi plugin on the backend paper servers thanks for help

[viscid orbit]

thak you

[unborn cradle]

PAPI does not go on the proxy server but it goes on all the backend servers.

[tired jetty]

OK, thanks, but how can I then set that, for example, addons like playerstatistic are the same on all backend servers or the money from vault

[unborn cradle]

On your proxy plugin, You'll be able to use PAPI placeholder.

As long as the backend server has PAPI and the correct extensions install. It will work fine

[tired jetty]

oki thank you

[ocean basin]

Anyone know how to use the math placeholders? I am trying to get a placeholder to show in my menu for my foraging skill.

[feral wharf]

Hello, I'm using Folia for my server and I don't know if it requires complete recode of the plugin but placeholder API isn't working on this server software. Is there any way to fix it or do I just need to wait for a plugin update?

[half briar]

https://repo.extendedclip.com/#/snapshots/me/clip/placeholderapi/2.11.7-DEV-212 Can try the newer devs, there was a merge recently. I tried just with the server expansion and folia 1.21.6, seemed to work. 🤔
https://paste.helpch.at/usomafonam.md

[feral wharf]

It's working, I didn't know they were DEV build available. I'll also check DEV build for other problematic plugins. Thanks for help @half briar

Hello there
String parsed = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(null, placeholder);
Can i use null when parsing placeholder?
If not, how to parse a placeholder from the server?

[junior musk]

you can

though not all placeholders will return an output if the player is null

for example, %server_online% (and basically all Server placeholders) will work, but %player_name% (or any other Player placeholder) won't

[opaque patrol]

Its is my JS in the GUI name and it returns empty even though all its returns contain text

        String parsed = PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(null, placeholder);```

JS uses the first argument, which is passed to the placeholder as a String (playerNameRaw)

[zenith prism]

Hi, I'm using DELUXEMENUS for a player stat menu, and i want so every player can see it's own playerhead. But my placeholders does not work, i just see a steve head

items:
player_head:
material: PLAYER_HEAD
slot: 0
display_name: "&aStats"
skull_owner: {PLAYER}

[opaque patrol]

Try %player_name%

[junior musk]

JS placeholderse require a player

why? idk

[opaque patrol]

It works in TAB

Awh

[junior musk]

yeah because TAB provides a player lol

[opaque patrol]

Yes yes yes

[junior musk]

Why parse a JS placeholder instead of coding the script's function directly in Java though?

it'll be much faster too, parsing the JS script is pretty slow

[opaque patrol]

My JS script works with a large number of lines that I can edit directly in the script without opening the plugin each time

[junior musk]

ok

and now when i setup my lpc like this.

chat-format: "{prefix}{displayname} %deluxe_tags%{suffix} &7: {message}"

ingame chat turns out like this.

EX WITH TAG.
MEMBER Notch [THETAG] > {message}

EX WITHOUT TAG. "Double Space After The Players Displayname"
MEMBER Notch > {message}

What should i do?

[zenith prism]

Does not work, I already tried {PLAYER}, %player_name%, %player%, {PLAYER_NAME}, skullowner, skull_owner, skull_owner and skull-owner
Neither of theese helps

[opaque patrol]

/papi ecloud download Player

[zenith prism]

Already

Still doesnt work

May it be because Online-Mode false?

[normal urchin]

i hope anyone from support can see this thanks again.

[opaque patrol]

No

papi reload or server restart?

[zenith prism]

Now it's Alex head, but just called "my minecraft nickname's" head

Isn't it because it is set to online-mode=false?

[earnest nacelle]

Why might I get a 503 error for http://api.extendedclip.com/v2/ with a server on my local machine, when I can access that URL in my browser? Doesn't happen on the public server.

[rotund pendant]

If you open Command Prompt (or Terminal if on MacOS) and run ping api.extendedclip.com, does it respond or say it can't reach the service?

It's possible you didn't give the Java runtime for the server access to the your network / the internet.

[earnest nacelle]

Yep it pings without issue. Those with my ip can connect to my server and plugins do detect when there's an update available.

[rotund pendant]

Can you share the full error? I assume there is more than just the text 503. 😄

[sharp axle]

How do I make the ping interval 1s?

[earnest nacelle]

Sure, although it's really nothing special - just your standard stacktrace for a failed HTTP request: https://pastebin.com/ekQYzdQj

Ah, I lied - other plugins cannot seem to check for updates locally. api.spigotmc.org returns a 403 for CMILib... but again, I can view it in my browser just fine. This is probably related to [PlaceholderAPI] Failed to check for updates on spigot..

LuckPerms, however, can open up an editor and connect to the editor but that might be using a different protocol.

If I run this command in terminal, I do get a 403 curl -I https://api.spigotmc.org/legacy/update.php?resource=87610. Again, in the browser is fine... so I wonder if my local IP is being blocked for non-browser traffic?

Spamhaus ffs

It's an IP range too, x.x.x.0/24

[bronze shell]

Hello!

I'm looking for a papi expansion that would allow me to "inject" a character between every character of a placeholder output.
Example: %myplaceholder% parse abcd! but i'd like to have an expansion automatically changing the output (whatever it is) to a b c d ! , so basically adding a space after each character.
I suppose this can be achieved with the String expansion, but do i have to register every character in the papi config file? isn't there a way to cover every possible character?

[earnest nacelle]

Back to placeholder-api, curl -I https://api.extendedclip.com/v2/ works perfectly fine, the http equivalent will hang and 503... so papi is doing something very weird in the backend regardless.

[turbid tide]

What version of placeholderapi do you have? If I am understanding this right, using the http protocol fails but using https does not. And from the error you sent, it seems the version of PlaceholderAPI you use uses http.

[turbid tide]

Actually, testing this, I get 200 with http and https. So my best guess right now is that your network blocks HTTP requests

Can you show the ful result of curl -I http://api.extendedclip.com/v2/? Maybe some headers can help us track what blocks the connection

[turbid tide]

I'm afraid, with the String expansion you would have to register every character manually. Maybe use some sort of scripting expansion to do this? Such as JavaScript expansion for example.

[bronze shell]

i have zero knowledge of javascript but i'll take a look. thanks

[turbid tide]

ChatGPT is pretty decent at it. Especially since you want such a small thing.

[bronze shell]

i try to not rely on chatgpt for coding 😬 i have some friends who can teach me that stuff

[turbid tide]

Your code will look something like:

SPECIAL_CHARACTERS = ' ';

function addCharacters(str) {
  let result = '';
  for (let char of str) {
    result += char + SPECIAL_CHARACTERS;
  }
  return result;
}

addCharacters("%your_placeholder%"));

[turbid tide]

That's good. If you're just starting to learn, it can make it harder to actually learn

[bronze shell]

i see, thanks

for now i made a long ass string replacer list, and i'll try the js version later

I'm assuming Spigot utilises Spamhaus PBL (which is are IP ranges of networks not configured for email) and does a blanket block... which prevents plugins from checking Spigot for updates. That in itself is kind of stupid.. but extendedclip is different, as that's a 503 and not a 403.

[earnest nacelle]

apologies

[turbid tide]

I am at a loss here. I would've hoped it is cloudflare or a local service blocking this. But I am not so sure anymore.

@balmy marten is there any way to see if a specific requests reaches the API? Do we have logs?

To see if the 503 is returned by our API or is it a middle service

[violet shell]

quick question: how do get the %essentials_nickname% placeholder to work with TAB?

[turbid tide]

Does it work if you use /papi parse me %essentials_nickname%?

If not, execute /papi ecloud download essentials and then /papi reload.

[violet shell]

Yes

[balmy marten]

CloudFlare handles all the traffic, users don't connect to the server directly

[torpid vortex]

Hello

- '&r&f%utils_parseother:[{player}]_utils_parse:2_\luckperms_prefix\%' This did work for me, however I noticed that it returns an empty message if the player is not online

Would you have a solution?

[turbid tide]

I'm pretty sure that's just LuckPerms expansion only working for online players.

I don't think there's anything you or us can do about it

[torpid vortex]

Yes, as I saw it is not possible because it would bring many problems, but I was able to do something to obtain it.

[torpid vortex]

%parseother_{%arg_1%}_{player_has_played_before}%

This is fine, right?

[turbid tide]

I'm not sure what %arg_1% is, but other than that, it looks fine

[torpid vortex]

%arg_1% ending up being an arg of the command used before which would be the player's name

[lapis anvil]

Can anyone let me know if the way to register an expansion using the PAPI API has changed in 2.11.6 - 2.11.7? My code registering expansions has worked fine until I updated my dependency to 2.11.7 to support Folia. Now I get the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: me/clip/placeholderapi/expansion/PlaceholderExpansion```

The dependency is downloaded through maven correctly, and I know I am registering the expansions correctly, because my code was working perfectly fine up until version 2.11.5, but using 2.11.6 or 2.11.7 on paper or Folia servers cause the problem for me. Does anyone have some pointers on what might be causing this issue for me? Thanks in advance.

[turbid tide]

Is PlaceholderAPI installed on the server?

Or have you by any chance shaded PlaceholderAPI in your plugin?

[lapis anvil]

Yes PAPI is installed and shaded, when I’m in my IDE I get no errors and the library is fully downloaded, but it seems like the API itself doesn’t load correctly on Folia servers— but that’s just a guess, I’m not sure how I could confirm

[junior musk]

you shouldn't shade it

though I'm not sure if PAPI even works on Folia

nvm it does, got confused with DeluxeMenus

but yeah you shouldn't shade PAPI within your own plugin

[lapis anvil]

Wonder if that might help thanks for the idea I’ll give it a go

[lapis anvil]

I figured it out, it was my fault and it was a stupid one! I needed to set join-classpath to true in my paper-plugin.yml for my PAPI dependency declaration. I guess I'm still working out the little details with the Paper API haha! Thank you guys for the help though, sorry to bother 🙏

im on paper 1.21.5 and have placeholderAPI installed and enabled on my server, it just doesn't parse, it isnt doing anything

[near vessel]

What placeholders are you trying to use?

[wide plover]

%player_name%

[near vessel]

And you have run this command? papi ecloud download Player

[wide plover]

no i didnt know it wass needed ill run it

[near vessel]

https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/ This will be useful for you

[wide plover]

Is there a way to use placeholders inside of placeholders, for example my skript variable is {kills.%player%}, and the skript expansion is %skript_<variable>% so i tried %skript_kills.%player_name%% but it turns it into "N/Aplayer_name%%"

[near vessel]

I'm not 100 sure, but you might be able to use {player_name}

[wide plover]

It still says N/A

And the variable {kills.Jind} is set to 1

[near vessel]

It might not be possible like you're trying to do it

[wide plover]

This is how most skript variables are set, how else do you think I should try

Hey can anyone test this please https://github.com/Tanguygab/PlayerList-PlaceholderAPI-Expansion/issues/13 please tang fix this 🙏

anyone knows how to make leaderboards with decent holograms i tried using the placeholder but it doesnt work

[near vessel]

Leaderboards of what?

[thorny geyser]

Use ajleaderboards and use the placeholders of what you need

[green socket]

mined blocks

[green socket]

it doesnt work

[thorny geyser]

What do you mean?

What are you even trying?

[green socket]

i want to show top 10 players with the most mined blocks

[thorny geyser]

Yes

You need ajleaderboards decentholograms for example and placeholderapi

you don't need more things

[green socket]

i use fancy holograms

[thorny geyser]

I recommend decentholograms but you can do the same

[green socket]

but all the other stuff i use and i have them

%luckperms_group% it shows this and not the rank

[thorny geyser]

send a link to imgur because you can't upload photos

[green socket]

%ajlb_blocks_mined_1_alltime% it shows this not the players and their amoutn of blocks they mined

[thorny geyser]

read the wiki and the above message

[green socket]

i will try

[near vessel]

It's a little different than that

[green socket]

teach me

I tried them all and they gave me “player is not a valid placeholder”

[turbid tide]

Can you show me an example that you've tried?

Hiya there,

I have used PAPI on my servers before, before today I was using the Bungee expansion with my Velocity setup to list the amount of players on the network and server (%bungee_total%, %bungee_<server>%) but I am unable to make it work on a new setup. I was wondering if this is no longer compatible or if I'm missing something.

Are there any requirements to make this expansion work and what information can I supply to make solving this issue easier. Thank you in advance!

Make sure bungee messaging is enabled in velocity's config

ajlb_lb_statistic_time_since_death_1_alltime_name

[whole cosmos]

I have the placeholder api version 2.11.6 and I ecloud download and reload each time but nothing works and shows up on my scoreboard and I am using proper placeholders.

[turbid tide]

Those statistics are managed by the server itself. I believe they are stored in world/playerstats/...

You can probably manually change it, but you would have to know what the previous death time was

[turbid tide]

Hello, Can you please execute /papi dump and send the generated link here? I would also love a startup log if that's possible.

And an example of a placeholder that doesn't work.

[final idol]

https://prnt.sc/CPOhQ5WUpON9

do you have any idea what?

[turbid tide]

Hello! Do you have support for this plugin on version 1.21.4? The problem is that I installed the plugin on exactly this version and it could not connect to the network.

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI does work on 1.21.4

[topaz bronze]

hurray!!! I'm going to get hemorrhoids!!!

[topaz bronze]

on 1.21 it doesn't work either. What's the joke?

[topaz bronze]

WTF

[turbid tide]

There is no joke. It works for me. If you are having network issues, then they're probably happening because of your network. But if you share details about your issue (such as error messages), maybe we can help debug this.

[topaz bronze]

that is, it can't connect to localhost?

[turbid tide]

You did not share any errors or warnings with us. All you said is that it can't connect to the network. The plugin needs to connect to the ecloud sometimes to download expansion information (or to download the expansions itself).

So, I assumed that it can't connect with ecloud

[graceful isle]

Sorry if its a FAQ but any 1.21.7 support or devbuild?

[warm topaz]

placeholderapi itself should already work, potentially some expansions may need updating but no reports of issues so far

[graceful isle]

Thanks for the answer.

[graceful isle]

One more thing, sorry for pinging you. If I were to use a PAPI PlayerList and use its <index> method to input a player that is not in the list already, what would that return? null? (I dont know much java yet im more of a c++, c#, python guy, learning java atm tho.)

[warm topaz]

try and see

i dont really know much about playerlist expansion

[graceful isle]

gotcha ill download both and give it a try

[austere hawk]

Is there a placeholder that allows me to see if a server in my network is whitelisted?

If so, which one is that?

[novel granite]

Probably only if you use a specific whitelist plugin out there.

There's none that refer to the whitelist.json

[elfin badger]

TL;DR;

Is it possible to get values from environment variables/properties etc.?

Hey! I'm trying to use the Utils expansion to nest placeholders, and am running into a weird result.

 %utils_parse:1_changeoutput_equals_input:{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}_matcher:0_ifmatch:ɴᴏ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ_else:{math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}%

I want a placeholder that displays "no data" if %statistic_entity_killed_by:player% = 0, otherwise shows the player's KDR.

What I have works fine in cases where players' death count is greater than 0, but if it equals zero, instead of "no data" being shown, no datamath_0/0%% is returned instead. I'm not sure why the changeoutput placeholder isn't stopping at the _else: segment.

The placeholder works outside of the utils expansion.
eg. %changeoutput_equals_input:{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}_matcher:0_ifmatch:ɴᴏ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ_else:{math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}%. Of course, this won't parse the math expansion because it's nested too many times already.

[warm topaz]

ive just tried this exact same placeholder and its working fine, can u send a /papi dump please?

[warm topaz]

remove the %% of the inner placeholders.

good afternoon, I have a Javascript placeholder and when I put a custom placeholder I get a blank space but not what I did, I think this is because my server version is 1.20.4?

[warm topaz]

what placeholder are u trying to use and can u show the script

[proud mirage]

maybe you can somehow parse through ParseOther, although there's no point

[proud mirage]

%javascript_remaining_time_05:00%

function remainingTime() {
  if (!args[0]) {
    return "&cEnter time. Example: javascript_remaining_time_13:00:00";
  }
  
  var now = new Date();
  var target = new Date();
  var timeArray = args[0].split(':');
 
  target.setHours(timeArray[0]);
  target.setMinutes(timeArray[1]);
  target.setSeconds(timeArray[2]);
 
  if (target < now) {
    target.setDate(target.getDate() + 1);
  }
 
  var diff = target - now;
 
  var hours = Math.floor(diff / 3600000);
  var minutes = Math.floor((diff - (hours * 3600000)) / 60000);
  var seconds = Math.floor((diff - (hours * 3600000) - (minutes * 60000)) / 1000);
 
  return hours + " ч. " + minutes + " мин. " + seconds + " сек.";
}
 
remainingTime();

[warm topaz]

have u entered the placeholder into the javascript config?

along with correct file name

[proud mirage]

yes

ah.. probably not

[warm topaz]

so u should have

  file: smth.js

[proud mirage]

a second

yes, it worked)

Thank you

[warm topaz]

is the output ur getting through using the /papi parse command?

[desert bobcat]

the problem is that it does not count the Mcmmo XP, it says that there is no extension

[warm topaz]

have u tried using the parsing the whole command through /papi parse me also?

[desert bobcat]

yes

the problem is that I can't send you a photo here

[desert bobcat]

[cunning imp]

Yes it is.

[warm topaz]

strange

i literally copied and pasted the placeholder u put in here and its fine

only difference i had latest dev build - but that shouldnt really matter

[cunning imp]

Ah, really? I'd upload images if I could, but I'm not really sure how else to test this.

[warm topaz]

can u try without the UTF characters / font in "no data"? and just try normal chars

[desert bobcat]

/papi parse me %math_{mcmmo_xp_mining}+{mcmmo_xp_woodcutting}+{mcmmo_xp_excavation}+{mcmmo_xp_herbalism}+{mcmmo_xp_fishing}+{mcmmo_xp_archery}+{mcmmo_xp_swords}+{mcmmo_xp_axes}+{mcmmo_xp_unarmed}+{mcmmo_xp_acrobatics}+{mcmmo_xp_alchemy}+{mcmmo_xp_taming}+{

It only goes this far, can it be via console?

[cunning imp]

Like I said, %utils_parse:1_changeoutput_equals_input:{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}_matcher:0_ifmatch:ɴᴏ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ_else:{math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}% works so long as {statistic_entity_killed_by:player} returns anything greater than 0, but if it is 0 I get the no datamath_0/0%% thing.

Same thing happens if I use regular text instad of the tiny text.

Interestingly, the no datamath_0/0%% thing does NOT happen if I use

%utils_parse:1_changeoutput_equals_input:0_matcher:0_ifmatch:ɴᴏ ᴅᴀᴛᴀ_else:{math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}%

(replacing the comparison placeholder [{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}] with 0)

[desert bobcat]

https://imgur.com/iDra0Hc

[warm topaz]

needs to be ingame i think, try removing some of the skills from the placeholder for now
maybe you can try from console, replacing papi parse me with papi parse USERNAME

[warm topaz]

remove the %s from the inner placeholders...

[desert bobcat]

ok

[cunning imp]

Actually, disregard this. I'm getting a different result depending on who I'm parsing the placeholder as.

[desert bobcat]

https://imgur.com/KBBpo1c

[warm topaz]

add the % for the end still

[desert bobcat]

I did it the way you said with just a few and it didn't work, it returns the same command

[warm topaz]

"main" placeholders requires %%
inner placeholders are just {}

[desert bobcat]

https://imgur.com/5wChZsU

[warm topaz]

ok so ur placeholders works, i assume u have 0 woodcutting XP, and 0 excavation XP

[desert bobcat]

but remembering that I want to create a tournament of who can collect the most XP experience and not mcmmo level. yes 0 skill

[warm topaz]

that means the plugin u are using this placeholder in is not passing your Player argument, and thats where ur issue comes from as mcmmo is returning blank when there is no player

what plugin are u trying to use the placeholder in?

[desert bobcat]

https://imgur.com/C1JW2E6

[desert bobcat]

xltournaments

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/xltournaments-✅-ultimate-global-tournament-plugin-⭐-25-objective-types-1-20.70630

[warm topaz]

so this plugin is not giving a player argument to the placeholder
some plugins intentionally do this, depending on if they can

i dont know anything about this plugin so I'm not sure if its possible, but I would try to contact the developer to see
the placeholder itself is working fine

[desert bobcat]

Do you think it has something to do with mcmmo?

[warm topaz]

the expansion works

everything on placeholderapi side works

because that is how the plugin is parsing the placeholder

[desert bobcat]

But is it normal? There are times when it counts, then disappears and counts again and then stops like that all the time.]

[light ginkgo]

I'm trying to add the deluxetags placeholder to the essential chat and it's not detecting it. Does anyone know why?

[warm topaz]

it is expected behaviour. i would speak to the developer of that plugin to see what they are doing

[warm topaz]

deluxetags integration was broken with the latest essentials version, I would recommend finding another chat plugin that supports PlaceholderAPI instead until we fix it

[desert bobcat]

ok thank you very much I will talk to him about it

[light ginkgo]

Oh, I spent the whole afternoon like crazy without understanding why the {deluxetags_tag} didn't work in essentials, thanks for the help

[cunning imp]

Using this placeholder as an example, I'm getting different outputs depending on who I'm running the placeholder for:

/papi parse me %utils_parse:1_changeoutput_equals_input:0_matcher:0_ifmatch:No data_else:{math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}% returns "No data" as expected. However...

/papi parse shoguul %utils_parse:1_changeoutput_equals_input:0_matcher:0_ifmatch:No data_else:{math_{statistic_player_kills}/{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}% returns No datamath_0/0%%.

Nothing has changed between the two placeholders -- just the player it is being parsed for. I'm not sure why there would be a difference though, as the input string "0" always matches the matching condition.

I can just rewrite it as %utils_parse:1_math_{statistic_player_kills}/{changeoutput_equals_input:{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}_matcher:0_ifmatch:1_else:{statistic_entity_killed_by:player}}% and it works both ways. I guess there was just something funky with the way it was formatted previously

[desert bobcat]

hey autor xltournaments

[desert bobcat]

I have no idea
far as I know it passes the player

[warm topaz]

my guess is because they are running this task async
Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers() is not thread safe
https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/Server.html#getOnlinePlayers()

this would make the most sense as you said it works sometimes, and sometimes doesnt

[desert bobcat]

I sent it to him here, thank you, sorry for the ping

[white sphinx]

Hey can anyone link me with the papi java docs?

i wanted to know what's the newer way to unregister placeholders on disable (is deprecated)

[warm topaz]

what is deprecated?

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/blob/master/src/main/java/me/clip/placeholderapi/expansion/PlaceholderExpansion.java#L155

this will automatically be ran upon server shutdown btw

[vague flame]

Hi there! I use the %vault_eco_balance_formatted% placeholder for some things on server. My problem is that the balance is displayed very rounded. For example, if the player has 11 million and 500 thousand, it simply shows 11M, but I want it to display 11.5M.

[white sphinx]

Oh, thanks for informing ❤️

[white sphinx]

whoops

[halcyon palm]

hello so i have a question cuz my place holders dont work cuz im trying to get the balance from essentialsx to simplescore and it does not want to work and also im trying to show the rank in simplescore also does not work can someone help me please

[vague flame]

Hi there! I use the %vault_eco_balance_formatted% placeholder for some things on server. My problem is that the balance is displayed very rounded. For example, if the player has 11 million and 500 thousand, it simply shows 11M, but I want it to display 11.5M.

[turbid tide]

Can you please give an example of placeholder that doesn't work? Also, have you downloaded the appropriate expansions?

[turbid tide]

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

[halcyon palm]

well i also have vault and it does not whana work for me the vault eco balance

i just fixed the one for luck perms its just the vault placeholders

[turbid tide]

Have you tested the placeholders using the /papi parse command?

Do they work that way?

[halcyon palm]

https://paste.helpch.at/uzoseyixis

this is the papi dump

[turbid tide]

You do not have the Vault expansion

[halcyon palm]

oh?

[turbid tide]

Execute /papi ecloud download vault and after that /papi reload

[halcyon palm]

its also require a version what version do i need?

[turbid tide]

Version is optional. If you don't input anything it will take the latest.

Which is what you should use

[halcyon palm]

omg it worked thank you so much!!

[vague flame]

https://paste.helpch.at/atepazovix

[turbid tide]

You are on the latest version. Looking at the code, this should give you 1 decimal

[vague flame]

https://media.essential.gg/85f2c0ea-32e1-441e-249a-24f579295900

[turbid tide]

Can you test the placeholder using the /papi parse command? Something like this: /papi parse me %vault_eco_balance_formatted%?

[vague flame]

Yeah, there it also is shown as rounded

I think, I have to configure this somewhere

sorry for my bad english

[turbid tide]

I've just tested this, with exactly 1_500_000, it shows the decimal. But with the amount you shown in the photo, it does not. I'll look into it.

[vague flame]

hmm

Are you using essentialsx?

[turbid tide]

Yeah. This is a bug in the Vault expansion. I'm fixing it right now and I'll send you to test.

[vague flame]

That is very very nice!

[vague flame]

It shows up the balance behind b https://media.essential.gg/6ed45fa7-c111-460a-0d52-b85154963e00

I think, it rounds only "small" balances like millions

Anyway I also want to disable that

[turbid tide]

@vague flame, feel free to use this.

To update:

1. Go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/ and delete Expansion-vault.jar.
2. Add this Expansion-Vault-1.8.4-dev.jar to the same folder.
3. Execute /papi reload.

It should be an instant update and you should see this fixed.

[turbid tide]

No. The problem was that it rounded everything above 100. So 101.1M would become 101M but 99.9M would work.

[vague flame]

You are the best! Thank you very muc

[turbid tide]

Please let me know if it works or if you have any more issues with it.

[vague flame]

Now it works perfectly!

[vague flame]

Can I also make it display like that: 49.82 ?

[turbid tide]

No. It is limited to 1 digit

[vague flame]

Oh okay, I saw it on antother Server, but then it is probably a different Plugin

[turbid tide]

They might've even made it themselves. Vault expansion gives you the raw values. Using something like the JavaScript expansion (which lets you create custom placeholders using JavaScript), they could've created their own format.

[vague flame]

Could I use Skript for that?

Some Skripts I Designed myself can also Display Balance Like that

[turbid tide]

I'm not sure. I have not used Skript before. I have head that it lets you create custom placeholders, so probably you can.

You need something to let you take the value from a placeholder (%vault_eco_balance_fixed%), format it in some way (do math and string operations on it) and then return it using a new placeholder.

If Skript can do that, then yes you can use Skript.

[azure ravine]

there is no placeholder for playtime in essentials; you need a seperate plugin https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playtime.26016/

or don't cheap out and buy CMI 🙂

[turbid tide]

Or you can use %statistic_time_played%

These are stats tracked by the server

[halcyon palm]

ohh oke great thanks

[turbid tide]

Can you share a link to the expansion you're trying to get an account for (source code if possible)

[torpid pivot]

How do you do Euclidean division with the math module?

[torpid pivot]

ok thx

[slim ocean]

Hello, good afternoon. Excuse me... Could you help me figure out how to remove decimals from this math formula? (I want at least 2 decimal places to be seen, that is, at a percentage level of 1.00% or even better, 1%.)&a%math_round(({mythic_archetype_exp_CLASS}/{mythic_archetype_exp_goal_CLASS})*100, 2)%&

[azure ravine]

use %math_0_round(({mythic_archetype_exp_CLASS}/{mythic_archetype_exp_goal_CLASS})*100, 2)% for no decimal places

add the _0 after %math basically

that number means how many decimals you want

[slim ocean]

Omg...

Thanks you so much!

What's a place holder to automatically display each peoples time's timezone or if not then the current date in their country

[turbid tide]

Use version 2.11.6

Also, this repository: https://repo.helpch.at/

[turbid tide]

You can use the LocalTime expansion: https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/#localtime

[cosmic hare]

Hi, what is the different between onRequest and onPlaceholderRequest ?

I tried the wiki but it doesn't mention it (or I somehow missed it)
Thanks
https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/creating-a-placeholderexpansion/#making-an-internal-expansion

I read the whole thing again so it mean I only need to overload onPlaceholderRequest if the expansion is an relational expansion? is my understanding correct?

[turbid tide]

One takes a Player, one takes a nullable OfflinePlayer

[upper violet]

if i was to parse a placeholder and it returns back blank what does that mean usually

[junior musk]

depends on the placeholder

and depends on what you refer as "blank"
if it returns itself, it means the placeholder doesn't exist or its expansion isn't loaded
if it's an empty string/line/text, then the placeholder just didn't return anything

[desert bobcat]

Good morning my friends, can anyone tell me how to create a placeholder API where I can accumulate all the XP experience that the player can get with the mcmmo skills?

[wide wasp]

I'm migrating over from a custom translations implementation to the adventure MiniMessage translator, the problem is that I might have to void the PlaceholderAPI integration I have (all the messages I use are translated). The issue is that everything in adventure uses components, where I previously inserted the placeholder API strings before deserializing the translated mini message

Any idea on how to proceed with this, or should I just void PlaceholderAPI integration?

[junior musk]

I'm unsure what the issue with PAPI is, are you trying to pass placeholders as arguments to the translated components?
If yes, you can do that https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html#translatable check the syntax/second example

[wide wasp]

I just want any placeholder from other plugins to be available to use in my translated messages, for say this is how I'm planning to use the adventure translator.

audience.sendMessage(Component.translatable(translationKey, Argument.tagResolver(resolvers)));

And then the server automatically uses a GlobalTranslator to convert that message to the correct locale, which supports translations added by plugins.

I'm aiming to inject all the PlaceholderAPI placeholders into the unformated translation. Maybe that's not necessary to do, but like the translations are exposed to the users in multiple properties files

[junior musk]

oh the translation contains the PAPI placeholders, alright I misunderstood

I feel like there should be a library to parse PAPI placeholders in components, not entirely sure, I'll check

[wide wasp]

There's MiniPlaceholders, which just uses tag resolvers

You can also technically deserialize -> serialize -> inject placeholders -> deserialize

[junior musk]

I just remembered how MC works, and I don't think that's possible

only the translatable key is sent to the client, and the client replaces it with the correct string

but you can't parse PAPI placeholders after the player has the translated string, so I doubt that's possible

you should rely on arguments instead, forwarding components with the placeholders parsed into the translatable component's arguments

that should work

[wide wasp]

Maybe I can actually make a custom tag resolver, like this

my.translation.key=Hello <placeholderapi:[my-placeholder-key]>!

Code:

TagResolver.resolver("placeholderapi", ((argumentQueue, context) -> {
            String placeholder = argumentQueue.popOr("missing_placeholder").value();
            return Tag.selfClosingInserting(Component.text(PlaceholderAPI.setPlaceholders(player, "%" + placeholder + "%")));
        }));

[wide wasp]

Oh, really? 🤔

I will ask the adventure devs about how that works, to be sure. I thought that these messages were preprocessed before sending it to the player though

Kezz says there will be no limitations on it, so I will trust that

[junior musk]

I don't use translatable components that much so I could be wrong, Adventure's dev are most likely more aware of how it works yeah

gl with that

[wide wasp]

Thanks 🙏

[turbid tide]

This should work just fine. If you want, you can copy the the tags we use for ChatChat. They are a bit more robust and it also has one for relational placeholders: https://github.com/HelpChat/ChatChat/blob/main/plugin/src/main/java/at/helpch/chatchat/util/PapiTagUtils.java

The main difference from yours is that it allows both closing and inserting components (with an optional argument like so: <papi:closing:MY_PLACEHOLDER>), and it also supports : inside placeholders. In your case if the placeholder contains :, it will only attempt to parse whatever is before it.

[wide wasp]

Thanks! I will see what I can copy from that!

[turbid tide]

Oh. There's one more major change, that you might not want, and that is the tag automatically transforms output from legacy colors and text formatters to minimessages

[wide wasp]

Alright 👍

[torn vapor]

Hi, I'm having a problem with the plugin. When I restart my server, or there are daily restarts, the placeholders get broken and don't work until I use /papi reload. How do I fix it? 🙁

any idea how to solve?? 😭

[turbid tide]

Can you send the startup logs please?

[sacred thunder]

imagine a society where people answer my question.. but oh well 😔

[vital plank]

Hi, when i use papi reload command i get only this and every expansions turn into e.g. %bungee_total% so they doesn't work, console shows only this:
[01:08:47 INFO]: [PlaceholderAPI] Placeholder expansion registration initializing...
[01:08:47 INFO]: [PlaceholderAPI] Fetching available expansion information...

[turbid tide]

Add PlaceholderAPI as a depend in plugin.yml

Also, make sure you don't shade PlaceholderAPI inside your plugin

@sacred thunder

[turbid tide]

Can you send a full log please?

[sacred thunder]

What does that mean?

[turbid tide]

basically including the PlaceholderAPI code in your own and building your plugin with PlaceholderAPI code in it

[sacred thunder]

No i'm registering a placeholder extension with it.

[sacred thunder]

Oh that actually worked, the plugin will load now but it doesn't register any of the placeholders, and there's no errors.

[turbid tide]

Can I see the code for your expansion? If not, add some debug messages in places such as the expansion constructor, onRegister method, onRequest and so on.

[sacred thunder]

Oh nevermind i'm upid. The previous thing didn't fix the problem it's still giving that error.

[sacred thunder]

My code is basically just directly copied from the wiki. I'm using the latest version of placeholder api too.

[turbid tide]

Can I see your pom file?

Or the file for whatever build tool you use?

[sacred thunder]

i don't use that i just added the dependency in my intellij project structure and it worked :3

[turbid tide]

Ok, can you use a decompiler such as recaf and make sure the PlaceholderAPI code is not present in your jar file?

[sacred thunder]

oh yeah there is

it's evil

[vital plank]

full mc log?

[vital plank]

oh sorry

[rough lake]

Anyone know why this is happening?
https://mclo.gs/3jTAy0b

[manic badge]

try checking firewall settings

[rapid helm]

help, luckperms and carbon chat are running on the folia 1.21.8 core, but they don't see the placeholders. all plugins seem to be running successfully.

[mental notch]

hey guys. What's the correct way to use the CheckItem expansion now with the new item components stuff? Using latest but I'm facing errors whenever I try to grab the nbt strings of an item

[cosmic fable]

Question: How do I use a space inside a placeholder inside a placeholder using the math expansion and the playerstats plugin + expansion

Example; /papi parse me %math_{%playerstats_ only:number, me, deaths%} + 1%

If I use /papi parse me %playerstats_ only:number, me, deaths% it returns the 'deaths' statistic.

What I think is going wrong here is the fact that you can't use spaces in a placeholder inside a placeholder...

What I am trying to achieve at the end it this expression:
/papi parse me %math_{%playerstats_ only:number, me, kills%} / {%playerstats_ only:number, me, deaths%}%
This will calculate the kill death ratio.

If there is a different plugin and expression that gives you a kdr statistic please let me know, I'm struggling to figure this all out

Thanks

[jovial cargo]

Get rid of any % in the brackets {

/papi parse me %math_{playerstats_ only:number, me, kills} / {playerstats_ only:number, me, deaths}%

Thats how it should look

[mental notch]

you probably meant to tag the other guy

[jovial cargo]

Oops, I cooked you

[jovial cargo]

@cosmic fable

[jovial cargo]

Lets see what you got going on though

[mental notch]

can't seem to pick up an nbt string properly in 1.21.4

my item got;

[22:00:52 INFO]: xRebelD has the following entity data: {id: "minecraft:paper", count: 1, components: {"minecraft:custom_name": '{"color":"white","extra":[{"extra":[{"color":"#6e6e6e","text":"B"},{"color":"#7a7a7a","text":"e"},{"color":"#868686","text":"e"},{"color":"#939393","text":"t"},{"color":"#9f9f9f","text":"l"},{"color":"#ababab","text":"e"},{"color":"#b7b7b7","text":" "},{"color":"#c4c4c4","text":"J"},{"color":"#d0d0d0","text":"a"},{"color":"#dcdcdc","text":"r"}],"text":""}],"italic":false,"text":""}', "minecraft:custom_model_data": {floats: [901501.0f]}, "minecraft:custom_data": {PublicBukkitValues: {"mythicmobs:type": "beetle_jar", "mythicmobs:prevent_crafting_with": 1b, "mythicmobs:prevent_smithing_with": 1b, "mythicmobs:prevent_repairing_with": 1b}}}}

I need to pick up the mythicmobs:type beetle_jar

but I have no idea what the proper format is to do so using CheckItem in 1.21.4+

given the changes to the item component stuff

[unborn cradle]

Do they just have to have it in their inv, in their hand. Whats your current placeholder looking like?

[mental notch]

%checkitem_amount_mat:paper,nbtstrings:mythicmobs:type:beetle_jar,inhand:main%

well preferably they'd have it in their hand but I can deal with inventory as well

I'm certain that I'm doing something wrong but I'm so tired that I can't figure my way out of this loop

[unborn cradle]

%checkitem_amount_mat:paper,nbtstrings:mythicmobs:type:=beetle_jar,inhand:main%

Try that

[mental notch]

returns 0 on the item unfortunately

same without the inhand attribute

[unborn cradle]

%checkitem_amount_mat:paper,nbtstrings:PublicBukkitValues..mythicmobs:type=beetle_jar,inhand:main%

Try this

[mental notch]

WORKS! amazing

thank you so much

❤️

[unborn cradle]

I am de goat

Sorry, it took me a minute. Had to actually read the docs

[cosmic fable]

THANKYOU!

Anyone know a placeholder that displays coords?

[jovial cargo]

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

%player_x%, %player_y%, %player_z%

[cosmic fable]

omg I was using %player_compass_y% etc

[jovial cargo]

Yeah, if the player has a compass set. It will get the set coords of their compass

[cosmic fable]

Ahh that makes sense! Also.. Is there an expansion to display total time played

by a player not the whole server*

[jovial cargo]

statistics

[cosmic fable]

I used this expression for Time Played:

Time Played: Days: %statistic_days_played% Hours: %math_0_{statistic_hours_played} - {statistic_days_played} * 24% Mins: %math_0_{statistic_minutes_played} - ({statistic_days_played} * 1440) - (({statistic_hours_played} - ({statistic_days_played} * 24)) * 60)%

Days: %statistic_days_played%
Hours: %math_0_{statistic_hours_played} - {statistic_days_played} * 24%
Mins: %math_0_{statistic_minutes_played} - ({statistic_days_played} * 1440) - (({statistic_hours_played} - ({statistic_days_played} * 24)) * 60)%

if it works it works...

I couldn't get

%statistic_hours_played_remaining%
%statistic_minutes_played_remaining%

to work so yeah

I was too dumb to figure that out I just got an error stating "uknown statistic" when I parsed it

/papi parse me %statistic_minutes_played_remaining%

[jovial cargo]

So it works?

[cosmic fable]

Yeah!

[turbid tide]

I don't think you have to use math to calculate those.

%statistic_time_played:seconds%
%statistic_time_played:minutes%
%statistic_time_played:hours%
%statistic_time_played:days%

These should return just the days, hours, minutes and second parts.

So for example, if you've played 1 day 3 hours,

%statistic_time_played:hours% would return 3
%statistic_time_played:days% would return 1

[honest nacelle]

Hey is it possible that i create a placeholder manually in the file? Without creating my own expansion

[warm topaz]

in what file?

u can use javascript expansion to create ur own if u dont wanna do it properly

[honest nacelle]

config.yml - i tried editing server_name to smt like %player_name% just to see if it works, but that doesn't work

there is also a config expansion but i cannot get it to work

[lethal siren]

Would using like a bedrock getUUid be possible, without any more dependencies

Like I'd most likely have to use floodgates api right]

[restive mica]

Does Statistic have placeholders responsible for (“shot by player”) and “thrown into the abyss by player”?

[cosmic fable]

Ah I just used the wrong placeholder.. This happends way too often can't these devs just specify what ech placeholder does LOL

[turbid tide]

Yes. But there is an expansion for Floodgate that seems to return the xbox uid: https://github.com/rtm516/FloodgatePlaceholders/tree/master

[lethal siren]

Intresting, ok!

[quick cipher]

I'm trying to use CMI placeholders inside a deluxemenu as a requirement but the placeholder seems to not work inside the deluxemenus. type: string equals ignorecase input: '%cmi_user_kit_hasaccess_Centaur%' output: 'True' - It always returns false even though it returns true for myself if I parse it through PAPI.

I tried to do a workaround by doing type: has permission but that doesn't even work, even though I have the direct permission.

hey guys, how to use the checkitem expansion as when parsed gives me zero of the item.

say I have an item with custom name and lore to differentiate it with other items of the same material?

[plush loom]

is the PlayerTime expansion broken? Tried both manually installing it into the expansions folder and using /papi ecloud download, but its not downloading nor does it work

[turbid tide]

it needs the PlayerTime plugin

Not sure if that plugin works anymore.

[plush loom]

o

Thanks mate.

[manic coyote]

is it possible to have %player_health%'s decimal to only show .5? so like its either 20 or ##.5

i already tried %math_1:round_{player_health}% but it shows .1 to .4 and .6 to .9

i dont think its possible but if anyone is curious for what i went with its %utils_parse_formatter_text_replace_.0__{math_1:round_{player_health}}%

[turbid tide]

Maybe with JavaScript expansion. Where you can write some custom code to do what you want.

But I can't see a way to do it with just math expansion

[manic coyote]

i don’t code 😭

thanks for trying to help tho

[turbid tide]

It shouldn't be that hard. ChatGPT will probably give something functioning.

[manic coyote]

i see, thanks

[turbid tide]

I guess I can even try to give you the code rn. 1 sec

[turbid tide]

function get_rounded_health() {
  var health = parseFloat("%player_health%");
  if (isNaN(health)) {
      return "0";
  }
  var rounded = Math.round(health * 2) / 2;
  return (rounded % 1 === 0) ? rounded.toString().split('.')[0] : rounded.toFixed(1);
}

get_rounded_health()

This would be the code

[manic coyote]

how would i use this?

like how do i use it

sorry if I’m asking these random ahhh questions

[turbid tide]

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

download and install the expansion from here. to install it, simply drag to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions/

execute /papi reload

[manic coyote]

alr tysm

appreciate the response

[turbid tide]

There's a bit more. Just had to remind myself

After reload, go to plugins/PlaceholderAPI/javascripts/ and create a new file. Name it something like rounded_player_health.js

inside the file, place the code I sent above

Then in plugins/PlaceholderAPI/javascript_placeholders.yml add the following:

rounded_player_health:
  file: rounded_player_health.js

And then simply use %javascript_rounded_player_health% wherever you want to see the rounded health

[manic coyote]

thank you so much

🐐

appreciate it!

[sacred thunder]

I switched it over to Maven and it's still doing it, i really don't know what it is at this point

[reef sparrow]

sorry if this has been asked a million times but, what's the score on latest dev build working on 1.21.8? (I did use the search bar above to try find the answer first btw)

[sharp ledge]

Ditto to the above comment sorry for asking twice, I see placeholderAPI 2.11.6 has been on 1.20.6 support for over a year just need to know if anyone has used this version on 1.21.7/1.21.8 and if it is supported there. Currently run the 2.11.6 build on my 1.21.4 server with no issue!

[half briar]

@reef sparrow Yes, usually some expansions might need to update

[sacred thunder]

Don't trust them it isn't supported

[turbid tide]

Can I see your POM files?

[turbid tide]

PlaceholderAPI is a very simple plugin that very rarely breaks between versions. I have personally used it in 1.21, 1.21.4 and 1.21.8. Expansions are another story. Some are very simple as well so they'll work just fine, but some make use of stuff that changes between versions. And those expansions need updating

[reef sparrow]

i wasn't refering to 2.11.6 for 1.21.8 friend, i was refering to 2.11.7 dev here https://ci.extendedclip.com/job/PlaceholderAPI/

[turbid tide]

They should work just as fine

the only changes should be folia support

[sacred thunder]

Okay yeah they're here https://paste.helpch.at/uguwezodob.xml

[turbid tide]

This looks good. What issue are you facing now? An erorr in the server? Or?

[sacred thunder]

The same exact error i posted earlier

https://paste.helpch.at/uqujacebol.php

[turbid tide]

It seems that maybe PlaceholderAPI is still shaded in. Can you send the jar? DMs is fine

[turbid tide]

you are still shading PlaceholderAPI. How are you building the plugin?

[sacred thunder]

In idea i do Build > Build Artifacts > Build

[turbid tide]

So you're still building it the old way. If you use maven, you need to use the mvn package command

[sacred thunder]

sorry but where do i do the command

[turbid tide]

In IntelliJ, on the top right side, instead of this elephant, you should see a red V or something like that

[sacred thunder]

ok it worked thanks!!

i have no idea why it was doing that lol

[turbid tide]

well because you were building with a different tool

which did not care at all for your pom.xml file

how so ?

[wicked stratus]

downloaded, reloaded papi, inserted in tab, reloaded tab, kitpvp placeholders no value

before the utils thingi they gave a normal value in scoreboard

I couldn't find an issue myself, but this seems to be the discord server of the expansion developer: https://discord.com/invite/WnfvECZ

maybe you can ask them (matahombress is their tag)

[turbid tide]

@empty salmon this might be related to your issue

[empty salmon]

There isn't an expansion called information

All other expansions are downloaded

[turbid tide]

Yes. It isn't trying to download an expansion. It is just trying to download information about all expansions. This is to see if you have updates available and so on.

[empty salmon]

Hm

I don't think it's blocked, it's my dedi

And I can download other stuff

As in other expansions

[uncut matrix]

I also have this issue ^

Started happening a few days ago, we are also running our own dedi and have not blocked the connection

And on this server I only have spark extension enabled, so can it be related to the expansion itself maybe?

Could you both send a full startup log please?

One that contains the warning

[spare dagger]

Hi, only me don't work placeholder api in 1.21.8?

You can use the ParseOther expansion

it lets you parse placeholders for targets

based on their username or UUID

You can use the Bungee expansion. %bungee_total

[turbid tide]

Ok. Can you please send the full startup log of your server?

[turbid tide]

@hybrid palm just make sure, in velocity.toml, bungee messaging is enabled for the expansion to work

[gray tartan]

?paste

[turbid tide]

PAPI does not care about formatting. It takes in a string, gives it to expansion, and those expansion return another string. If you meant to ask if it works with components, the answer is no.

[hybrid palm]

thank you

[sharp jay]

@gray tartan whats that link?

[gray tartan]

Ok. Can you please send the full startup log of your server?

I was asked to show the server startup log.

[turbid tide]

yeah @sharp jay is just stupid. I saw it its fine

[gray tartan]

ok

[turbid tide]

@gray tartan , I looked at the logs and I can't see the PlayerTime plugin being mentioned at all. Is this the one you installed? https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playertime-offline-player-mysql-bungeecord-placeholderapi-supported.58915/

[gray tartan]

maybe this https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playtime.26016/

Maybe it was a different plugin?

[turbid tide]

yeah, the one I sent is what you need for the expansion you're trying to use

[gray tartan]

ok try it

thx It's been installed! THX
By the way, if I want to display the time a player has played as "21 hours 15 minutes 35 seconds", what extension do you think would be good?

[gray tartan]

Sorry, I managed to solve it myself

THX Support Blitz

[cursive pendant]

how do i unreigster placeholders on version 2.10.6

is that even possible

[sharp bloom]

Is there a placeholder that returns how much damage an item has taken? (durability)

i see only a %player_item_in_hand_durability% but that returns the max durability of the item, i was wondering if there is something that is the opposite of that

[weak wasp]

You can try this: %math_0_{player_item_in_hand_durability}-1561%

Will place a minus infront of it but should output the exact durability lost.

Obviously, replace the number with the exact durability of the held item.

[sharp bloom]

great option, i already coded a placeholder in my utils plugin so its gucci

[polar bronze]

question, I downloaded papi, 2.11.6 but it says its not marked as supporting folia?

im on foilia 1.21.6

[turbid tide]

try the latest build from jenkins

[polar bronze]

Do you have link?

[turbid tide]

[polar bronze]

thanks!

Hello

I remember there was before on discord some releases, like beta or something, i don't remember because of what

[turbid tide]

  Hmmm

My server can’t ping api placeholderapi

Ecloud

[sharp jay]

Your host is blocking it then?

[pallid wharf]

It is my vm

[pallid wharf]

May be cant work with ipv6

Only connect with ipv4 but ipv6 down

[sharp jay]

@balmy marten any idea ^?

[pallid wharf]

I can’t only connect ipv4?

[balmy marten]

What exactly are you pining

oh nvm im blind

[sharp jay]

very

[pallid wharf]

Ok

[balmy marten]

Is there a reason you're using ipv6

We're doing nothing special on our side, everything is fed via cloudflare's proxies

[pallid wharf]

I don’t use ipv6

Only ipv4

[sharp jay]

ooh then it should def work

[pallid wharf]

Connect with ipv4 api work but ipv6 i dont need hmm

How fix it hm

[sharp jay]

?

[pallid wharf]

Ping Api try ping ipv6

But i dont use ipv6

It is closed provider

[balmy marten]

Suggest contacting their support if its an external provider

[tender jacinth]

.

[turbid tide]

When you say "it doesn't work", what do you actually mean? Which part of the plugin doesn't work? Do you get any warnings or errors?

[tender jacinth]

I mean i like have %kitpvp_kills% sometime the placeholder work some time i just see "kill: %kitpvp_kills%" i don't know why sometime the papi not load

[turbid tide]

Do you get warnings in console about expansion not loading?

or maybe, do you get messages saying that they did load and the placeholder still doesn't work?

[tender jacinth]

I don't see anything in the consile

Just they don't load

[tender jacinth]

*console

[tender jacinth]

What i can do? @turbid tide

[tender jacinth]

Oh ok sorry

I didn't knew that

[junior musk]

send your server logs

?startuplog

[tender jacinth]

?paste

[tender jacinth]

I will send my server log

https://paste.helpch.at/raw/rutimuridi

[tender jacinth]

What config?

[turbid tide]

In one of your KP (kitpvp) files:

But it seems it was fixed

[tender jacinth]

That is for Kit of kit pvp

[turbid tide]

the bot just saw it in the logs

[tender jacinth]

Not the main config

So it don't be the problem with papi

Right?

[turbid tide]

By any chance, when you execute /papi reload, does the kitpvp placeholders break?

[tender jacinth]

Not

I mean they are break when i start the server

And /papi reload only see 1 papi of another plugin

Not the papi of kp

Sometime when i start the server papi of kp work sometime not work

[turbid tide]

That's because it only lists external expansions. It doesn't list those built inside other plugins such as KitPvP

[turbid tide]

Whenever this will happen again, please send those logs. In this one, it seems that the KitPvP expansion loads just fine.

Also, execute /papi dump and send the generated link here.

[tender jacinth]

It see the expantion but not the %%

Now i will see the dump link

Ok?

[turbid tide]

yeah

[tender jacinth]

I starting the server

/papi dump = https://paste.helpch.at/sigenugeno

So?

What you see in this /papi dump?

?

[turbid tide]

I was looking to see if maybe there's expansion conflicting but I couldn't see anything obvious. I'll need logs for when the issue happens again. Hopefully we can spot some issues then.

[junior oxide]

hey folks, i know this may be a bit dumb but ive been breaking my head over a specific thing.
i wrote a mod to take custom colors from players and it saves that in a placeholder but i cant manage to make the player name be formatted in styledchat, styledplayer list or customnametags. when trying to put the placeholder in a color: tag doesnt work so i just wanted to ask if anyone has a better solution to this right now it gets player colors with hexcodes and saves them.
sadly im on fabric so this means i have to write most of the stuff alone

[turbid tide]

Hello. I think you might be in the wrong discord server. This PlaceholderAPI is a plugin for Spigot (and forks such as Paper). This is the spigot page: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/

[junior oxide]

Ah rip

I confused with text placeholder api my bad folks

[turbid tide]

No worries. Every now and then it happens.

[pure robin]

when im use %server_name% the placeholderapi replace this to "A Minecraft Server", but i set in server.properties...

server-name=Lobby_1

[turbid tide]

I think the %server_name% is actually taken from the plugins/PlaceholderAPI/config.yml file

I'm not sure why it is done like this

in config.yml you should see the

expansions.server.server_name option

[pure robin]

okay thanks, but why is it here and not downloaded from server properties?

[tender jacinth]

What log?

[tender jacinth]

I didn't pinged

Bot bugged

[turbid tide]

I have no idea unfortunatelly.

[turbid tide]

No the bot is not bugged. You did use a ping reply.

Regarding logs, I want the startup logs from when the bug happens if possible.

[tender jacinth]

Ohhh there are ping reply on discord i didn't know this

Now i know it

[tender jacinth]

So when it reappear i just send here the log?

[turbid tide]

yes please

[tender jacinth]

I will

[turbid tide]

no worries. I don't really mind. those warnings are for other staff members

[tender jacinth]

But it say not break the rules. But where are the rule written?

[turbid tide]

#rules

[tender jacinth]

Oh i din't have it in channel list

I will read them

Readed

Blitz it can be helpful to say where i'm using the papi?

(Sorry for my bad english)

[gray tartan]

Is there a Placeholder that lets me see the total number of blocks placed?

[warm plover]

Is there any expansions with a vanilla to mm placeholder for hex colors / general formatting?

I know it's probably stupid easy with javascript but I don't have enough experience with it xD

[glossy trench]

%essentials_baltop_balance_<rank>%
and
%essentials_baltop_player_<rank>%
It refreshes very poorly, is there any way to fix it?

[stoic escarp]

hey what do i wrong ?

https://paste.helpch.at/rogiqowumu.java

https://paste.helpch.at/egazajavim.java

[turbid tide]

Idk. What exactly are you having issues with?

[turbid tide]

The baltop is updated by us once when the expansion is loaded, and then only updated whenever /baltop is ran or another plugin updates the baltop. Feel free to open an issue here: https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/ to ask for the baltop to be updated automatically by the expansion. If you do open a ticket, please mention this link as well: https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/blob/2.x/Essentials/src/main/java/net/essentialsx/api/v2/services/BalanceTop.java

[turbid tide]

Kyorify

[turbid tide]

Statistic expansion: %statistic_mine_block%

[gray tartan]

What we want to know is how many blocks were placed, not how many blocks were dug.
In other words, we are looking for something like "%◯◯_mine_block%"

[stoic escarp]

No but it do Not work

[turbid tide]

Ah. I don't think that's a stat that the server tracks. So, you'll probably have to use a plugin to track those stats and give you a placeholder. One I've seen before was Statz but that seems to be pretty outdated.

[turbid tide]

Ok. But you've sent a bunch of code, and you're not telling me what you're trying to do and what actually happens.

What does not work?

What are you trying to achieve?

[stoic escarp]

I wannt to Get the betterranks icons from itemadder in the tab without the Plugin TAB and LuckPerms

[turbid tide]

Ok. And how does this relate to PlaceholderAPI?

[tender jacinth]

Yea

[tender jacinth]

You can't

You need them

[visual turtle]

Hi im using KyverEco and the placeholders arent working

[turbid tide]

Well, you don't if you make your own plugin .Which is what they seem to be doing.

I'm just trying to pinpoint the exact issue they're having

because it is not very clear

[turbid tide]

Do other placeholders work?

[visual turtle]

Yes. It worked for 3 minutes after a restart then immediately didn’t work again

[turbid tide]

send startup log please
