Registering placeholders from a plugin

If you don't want to write an addon and instead want to add placeholders directly from your plugin, you can do the following:

// Register placeholder {hello} that always says "hello"
PlaceholderRegistry.registerPlaceholder(Optional.empty(), "hello", () -> "hello");

// Register placeholder {helloPlayer} that says "hello" with the name of the player
PlaceholderRegistry.registerPlaceholder(Optional.empty(), "helloPlayer", (uuid, name) -> "Hello, " + name);

How to write an addon

Create a new text file ending in .java. Write your addon in this file. Place an SSX-Connector jar file and spigot jar file in the same directory. Compile by running javac -cp '*:.' *.java. This will produce a .class file which can be loaded by SSX-Connector.

The class should extend Addon (import xyz.derkades.ssx_connector.Addon). Implement the required methods. In the onLoad method, use the addPlaceholder(String key, Supplier<String> placeholder) and addPlayerPlaceholder(String key, BiFunction<UUID, String, String> placeholder) methods to add placeholders.

Example

public class ExamplePlaceholders extends Addon {

    @Override
    public String getAuthor() {
        return "Derkades";
    }

    @Override
    public String getDescription() {
        return "Adds {hello} and {helloPlayer} placeholders";
    }

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return "Example";
    }

    @Override
    public String getVersion() {
        return "1.0.0";
    }

    @Override
    public void onLoad() {
        // Add {hello} placeholder that always returns "Hello!"
        addPlaceholder("hello", () -> "Hello!");

        // Add {helloPlayer} placeholder returns a more personal greeting
        addPlayerPlaceholder("helloPlayer", (uuid, name) -> "Hello, " + name + "!");

        // Use message from configuration
        addPlayerPlaceholder("helloConfig", (uuid, name) -> config.getString("message").replace("{name}", name));
    }

}

Configuration

If you need a config create a .yml file in the same directory and with the same name as the java file, for example Hello.yml. You'll be able to read the configuration file using the global config variable. For example:

# {name} will be replaced with the player name
message: 'Bonjour, {name}!'

Good to know

• If you use any methods that are only available in certain versions of Bukkit, please explain in the description of your addon. It is assumed that your addon is compatible from 1.7.10 to the most recent Minecraft version.
• You can use Bukkit listeners. Addon already implements Listener. Register the listeners by calling registerListeners() in onLoad().
