Minecraft plugin skript-placeholders

🔌 About skript-placeholders

skript-placeholders is an addon for the Skript plugin that provides placeholder integration: it lets you register placeholders from Skript and expose them to PlaceholderAPI and MVdWPlaceholderAPI so other plugins can query Skript variables.

🎯 Purpose

The plugin solves the problem of sharing dynamic Skript-managed values (variables, computed data) with other plugins that support placeholders. This is useful when you want Skript-driven state or custom values to appear in scoreboards, chat formats, boss bars, tab lists, or any plugin that reads PlaceholderAPI / MVdWPlaceholderAPI placeholders.

⚙️ Features

• Register and expose placeholders from Skript to PlaceholderAPI.
• Optional MVdWPlaceholderAPI support (requires an MVdW-compatible plugin for MVdWPlaceholderAPI to function).
• Obtain placeholder values from Skript within scripts (see the project wiki for examples).
• Fork/continuation of the Ersatz project, updated to work with PlaceholderAPI's PlaceholderExpansion system.

🧩 Who It Is For

• Server owners and admins who use Skript to implement custom logic and need those values available to other plugins.
• Servers using PlaceholderAPI or MVdWPlaceholderAPI and Skript-based customizations.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• Expose a Skript variable containing a player stat so a scoreboard plugin can display it via a placeholder.
• Create custom placeholders in Skript that are consumed by chat/tab/bossbar plugins that support PlaceholderAPI.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the plugin JAR and place it in your server's plugins/ directory.
• Ensure Skript (version 2.7.3 or newer) is installed and present.
• Install PlaceholderAPI or MVdWPlaceholderAPI depending on which placeholder system you intend to use.
• Start or restart the server and check the console to confirm the addon loaded correctly.

📦 Dependencies

• Skript (requires version 2.7.3 or newer)
• PlaceholderAPI or MVdWPlaceholderAPI (one of these must be installed for placeholder exposure)

🧠 Technical Notes

• The addon is a fork of the Ersatz project and was updated to use PlaceholderAPI's PlaceholderExpansion system.
• The plugin author lists a range of tested Minecraft versions on the project page.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you manage a server that relies on Skript for custom mechanics and need those script-managed values accessible to other plugins via a unified placeholder system, skript-placeholders provides a straightforward bridge to PlaceholderAPI and MVdWPlaceholderAPI.
