Placeholders

With PlaceholderAPI installed, these work anywhere PlaceholderAPI does: scoreboards, tab lists, chat and holograms. No eCloud download is needed, because Hounded registers them itself.

Placeholder	Shows
%hounded_role%	The player's role (runner or hunter)
%hounded_state%	The round state, e.g. "Hunt in progress"
%hounded_timer%	Hunt time, e.g. 12:34
%hounded_headstart%	Headstart time left
%hounded_distance%	For hunters: blocks to where their compass points
%hounded_target%	For hunters: the runner they're tracking
%hounded_runners_left%	Runners still in the round

• Values are plain text, with no colours, so you can style them yourself.
• A placeholder that doesn't apply to the player is empty. For example, %hounded_distance% is empty for runners.
• Values update once a second.
• Role and state names come from role.name.* and state.* in messages.yml, so they follow your translation.

Test one in game with /papi parse me %hounded_state%.
