PlaceholderAPI (BANNERS)

[indigo sail]

I have a question, is there, in some way, a way that a player can create a "Banner" and it is saved as a "Placeholder" then, to be able to show this "Banner" in some menu of DeluxeMenus?

If you mean, an item with like full banner with patterns and all that then no. you need a placeholder for each part of the item.

Yes, I know, the problem is not the placeholders, with the "MyCommands" plugin I am able to create those placeholders, that part was already covered.

The problem here is, to find a way to identify the patterns and dye colors, to store them in those placeholders, something that helps me identify the banner

for example, a placeholder that tells me what patterns and dye colors the banner has in the user's hand, something like %banner_inhand_pattern_1% %banner_inhand_dye_1%

might be able to do it with checkitem

/papi parse me %checkitem_getinfo:mainhand% to start

I guess I should colorize that 😂

so it would be possible to extract... but it might be easier to have somebody make an expansion for it

[indigo sail]

hmmmm

So, do I make a request on the #1004004212880977991 channel?

[fossil flare]

[indigo sail]

[fossil flare]

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Banner/Patterns

banner_meta:
- BLACK;RHOMBUS_MIDDLE

from (maybe) {Color:0,Pattern:"mr"}

which you can parse the nbt as a json actually with javascript

[indigo sail]

how?

I just copied that from excel and it's a picture

var checkitem = "%checkitem_getinfo:mainhand_nbtstrings:%"
var data = JSON.parse(checkitem)
var patterns = data.BlockEntityTag.Patterns

starting it out here

really nice to use the forum post as a "workspace"
