📋 About This Mod
# About Placeholder API Paper This is an unofficial port of Placeholder API to PaperMC, check out the original by Patbox (https://modrinth.com/mod/placeholder-api) and a NeoForge port (https://modrinth.com/project/placeholder-api-neoforge). 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: ```groovy repositories { // ... other repositories maven("https://maven.offsetmonkey538.top/releases") { name = "OffsetMonkey538" } } dependencies { // ... other dependencies implementation "eu.pb4:placeholder-api-paper:" } ``` 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 (https://gradleup.com/shadow/) Gradle plugin, or see the Paper documentation for how to download it at runtime (https://docs.papermc.io/paper/dev/getting-started/paper-plugins/#loaders). Make sure to replace the `` with an actual valid version. For a list of available versions, check the maven (https://maven.offsetmonkey538.top/#/releases/eu/pb4/placeholder-api-paper).
