PlaceholderAPI

PlaceholderAPI can display player names, balances, worlds, and other player-specific values.

It is optional, so EasyMenu also works on servers without PlaceholderAPI.

Install it

1. Install PlaceholderAPI 2.11.7 or later.
2. Install the expansion required by each placeholder.
3. Restart the server.

See the PlaceholderAPI placeholder list for expansion instructions.

Example

menu-title: "&6%player_name%'s menu"

menu-items:
  - slot: 13
    material: "GOLD_INGOT"
    name: "&6Balance"
    lore:
      - "&7Current: &e%vault_eco_balance% G"
    action:
      type: message
      message: "&aYour world is %player_world%."

Supported text

• Menu titles
• Item names
• Lore
• Messages
• Player commands
• Input prompts

Placeholders are not supported in materials, slots, sounds, menu sizes, input types, minimum and maximum values, or target menu IDs.

Colored prefixes

When an expansion returns a value such as &cAdmin, EasyMenu applies its color to titles, items, lore, messages, and prompts.

EasyMenu does not convert & color codes in commands.

Order with {input}

Chat input replaces {input} after PlaceholderAPI has finished.

If a player enters %player_name%, it stays as typed and is not evaluated as a placeholder.
