ServerTools adds these PlaceholderAPI placeholders you can drop into any PAPI-aware plugin (scoreboards, tab, holograms, etc). They only work if you have PlaceholderAPI installed.
Needs: PlaceholderAPI (these only work when it's installed).
| Placeholder | Returns |
|---|---|
%stools_isvisible% |
true or false - whether the player is hidden via /visibility
|
%stools_age_<EPOCHTIME>% |
A formatted time since/until a given epoch timestamp. See below. |
%stools_commandspy% |
on or off - whether the player has command spy on |
%stools_chatcolor% |
The player's selected chat color code (like &e) |
%stools_staffafk% |
true or false - whether the player is AFK as staff |
If you type a placeholder that doesn't exist, you'll get back STOOLS-PAPI-ERROR. That usually means a typo.
Put a Unix epoch time (in seconds) where <EPOCHTIME> is, and it shows how long ago that was, or how long until then. Need an epoch value? Grab one from https://www.epochconverter.com.
%stools_age_1622318400% -> "4y 32d 1h ..."
You can also use other plugins' PlaceholderAPI placeholders inside ServerTools messages. This works in:
- the join MOTD
- holograms
- fancy announcements
- server-info commands
- chat format (this one needs
Chat.ChatFormat.EnabledPAPIinMessages: true)
Chat:

EnabledPAPIinMessages: trueGetting started
