Placeholders

{player}

Always available, nothing to install: it becomes the name of the player looking at the hologram.

<gray>Hello, <white>{player}</white>!

%placeholders% from other plugins

With PlaceholderAPI installed, any placeholder of any plugin that supports it works: LuckPerms ranks, money from Vault, statistics, levels…

1. Install PlaceholderAPI.
2. Download the expansions you need, for example:

   /papi ecloud download LuckPerms
   /papi ecloud download Vault
   /papi reload

3. Use them in the text: <gray>Rank:</gray> %luckperms_prefix%

Where they work

Where	Example
Text of a layer	<gold>Balance: %vault_eco_balance_formatted%
Text changes in a moment	the same, swapped in for one player
Chat messages and commands	[message] Your level: %player_level%
Who sees a hologram	visibility.condition: "%player_level% >= 10"
A trigger in the file	when: { placeholder: "%vault_eco_balance% < 100" }

How often they update

Text is filled in again every update-interval ticks, per hologram (20 ticks = 1 second, the default). Set it to 0 for text that never changes, which costs nothing. In the web editor: Menu → Hologram settings.

Conditions and placeholder triggers are checked every placeholder-interval ticks, set in config.yml.

Colours from placeholders

Many placeholders return old colour codes, like &7[Member] or §c§lADMIN (rank prefixes do). HologramBB turns them into proper colours and closes them, so a rank's colour ends with the rank instead of colouring the rest of the line.

In the web editor

The preview cannot reach your server, so %placeholders% show as they are written. They are filled in in game. {player} shows as a sample name.
