PlaceholderAPI
AeroWars ships a PlaceholderAPI expansion so you can show live game data in holograms, scoreboards, tab lists, and anywhere else placeholders are supported.
Setup
- Install PlaceholderAPI (
at.helpch.placeholderapi) on your server. - Start AeroWars — it registers the
aerowarsexpansion automatically at startup. No configuration needed.
This is a soft dependency: if PlaceholderAPI isn't installed, registration is skipped and nothing breaks.
Verify it works
/papi list # aerowars should appear
/papi parse <player> %aerowars_players%
/papi bcparse <player> Arenas: %aerowars_arenas%Placeholders
Every placeholder uses the form %aerowars_<name>%. A few examples:
%aerowars_players%— players currently in games.%aerowars_player_status%—none/waiting/playing/spectating.%aerowars_kills%— the player's lifetime kills.%aerowars_top_kills_name_1%— the name of the #1 killer.
See the full list on the Placeholders reference page.
