PlaceholderAPI

SkyblockCore registers a PlaceholderAPI expansion so other plugins (scoreboards, tab lists, chat) can show island data.


Installing

Install PlaceholderAPI. The skyblock expansion registers automatically — no download needed.

Menus work even without PlaceholderAPI

The plugin resolves its own %skyblock_...% placeholders internally, so the in-game menus always show correct values even on servers without PlaceholderAPI. PAPI is only needed for other plugins to read them.


Available Placeholders

Placeholder Returns
%skyblock_level% The player's island level
%skyblock_points% Total island points
%skyblock_bank% Island bank balance
%skyblock_visitors% Visitor state (OPEN / CLOSED)
%skyblock_flag_pvp% PvP flag state (ON / OFF)
%skyblock_flag_mob_spawning% Mob spawning flag
%skyblock_flag_creeper_explosion% Creeper explosion flag
%skyblock_flag_tnt_explosion% TNT explosion flag
%skyblock_flag_fire_spread% Fire spread flag
%skyblock_flag_visitor_interact% Visitor interaction flag

The ON/OFF and OPEN/CLOSED words come from messages.yml, so they match your language and styling.


Example: Scoreboard Line

&aIsland Level: &f%skyblock_level%
&aPoints: &f%skyblock_points%
&aBank: &f%skyblock_bank%

Using Other Plugins' Placeholders in SkyblockCore Menus

The reverse also works: menus can include any PlaceholderAPI placeholder. The default main menu, for example, shows the island owner's rank with %vault_group%. See Menu Customization.
