Getting Started

RocketPlaceholders is a powerful plugin that allows you to create custom placeholders for your Minecraft server. These placeholders can be used with PlaceholderAPI and MVdWPlaceholderAPI.

Installation

Follow these steps to install RocketPlaceholders:

Step 1: Install PlaceholderAPI

RocketPlaceholders requires PlaceholderAPI to function. Download and install PlaceholderAPI first.
PlaceholderAPI is essential for RocketPlaceholders to work. Make sure it’s installed and enabled before installing RocketPlaceholders.

Step 2: Install RocketPlaceholders

  1. Download RocketPlaceholders from the official release page
  2. Place the .jar file in your server’s plugins folder
  3. Restart your server

Step 3: Install JShader (Optional)

If you plan to use the JavaScript condition, you’ll need to install JShader.
JShader is only required if you want to use JavaScript expressions in your placeholders. For basic placeholder creation, it’s not necessary.

Quick Start

After installation, RocketPlaceholders will create a configuration file at plugins/RocketPlaceholders/config.yml. You can start creating custom placeholders immediately!

Your First Placeholder

Here’s a simple example to get you started:
placeholders:
  1:
    placeholder: "welcome"
    text: "Welcome to our server!"
This creates a placeholder %rp_welcome% (PlaceholderAPI) or {rp_welcome} (MVdWPlaceholderAPI) that displays “Welcome to our server!”.
