About Placeholder API Paper

This is an unofficial port of Placeholder API to PaperMC, check out the original by Patbox here and a NeoForge port here.

Placeholder API is a small, JIJ-able API that allows creation and parsing placeholders within strings and Minecraft Text Components. Placeholders use simple format of %modid:type% or %modid:type/data%. It also includes simple, general usage text format indented for simplifying user input in configs/chats/etc.

For information about usage (for developers and users) you can check official docs of the original Fabric version at https://placeholders.pb4.eu/!

Developers

To depend on Placeholder API Paper, add the following to your buildscript:

repositories {
    // ... other repositories
    maven("https://maven.offsetmonkey538.top/releases") { name = "OffsetMonkey538" }
}

dependencies {
    // ... other dependencies
    implementation "eu.pb4:placeholder-api-paper:[VERSION]"
}

This will allow you to use the library in your project, but requires users to manually download it.
If you want to JIJ the library, use the Shadow Gradle plugin, or see the Paper documentation for how to download it at runtime here.

Make sure to replace the [VERSION] with an actual valid version. For a list of available versions, check the maven here.
