Function Documentation

set_placeholders([player], string)

Replaces all placeholders in the given string. Player can be null or absent if player context is not necessary for the given placeholders. Automatically "colorizes" the returned string.

register_placeholder_hook(identifier, closure)

Registers a PlaceholderAPI identifier. When the identifier is used in a placeholder, it executes the given closure. The closure will be passed the player name (or null) and the particular placeholder name that follows the identifier (eg. "%id_placeholder_name%") as variables. Use return() in the closure to specify the output for each placeholder name you're checking for. Returns true if the placeholder was successfully registered.

Example:

// handles %player_health% and %player_hunger%
register_placeholder_hook('player', closure(@player, @placeholder){
    if(is_null(@player)) {
        return("");
    }
    if(@placeholder == 'health') {
        return(phealth(@player));
    }
    if(@placeholder == 'hunger') {
        return(phunger(@player));
    }
});

unregister_placeholder_hook(identifier)

Unregisters a PlaceholderAPI identifier. Returns true if a placeholder by that id existed.
