Placeholders

Introduction

The placeholder integration allows you to display data from other plugins in specific locations in PlotSquared.

For example, with FeatherBoard you can create a scoreboard (sideboard) with the info about the plot you're standing on. And with using PlaceholderAPI, you can do /plot flag set greeting Welcome %player_name% which translates to "Welcome Steve" when the player Steve enters a plot. + The Player expansion from PlaceholderAPI is required to be installed.

Currently, (FeatherBoard and) PlaceholderAPI placeholders, can be used in the greeting and farewell flag of a plot.

Setup

PlotSquared has explicit and official support for PlaceholderAPI and MVdWPlaceholderAPI.

Follow the instruction of these placeholder systems to install it correctly.

For the PlaceholderAPI placeholders of PlotSquared you don't need to download a PAPI expansion. As opposed to some other plugins, PlotSquared handles everything internally.

Placeholder Deactivation in PlotSquared

Placeholders can be turned off in settings.yml:

Tips for specific plugins

Chat-System

If you're using EssentialsChat and PlaceholderAPI, you must install ChatInjector in order for the placeholders to show up in the chat. However, please note it has been reported that ChatInjector might cause issues.
