About Placeholder API Compat

This modification is a fork of the latest release of Patbox's Text Placeholder API, maintaining full compatibility with all Minecraft Fabric versions starting from 1.14.4.

This project was originally developed for integration with my multi-version mod Discord-MC-Chat.

Usage

For Players

Place the downloaded JAR file in the mods directory of your Minecraft installation.

Important points:

• This mod functions as a library dependency and only activates when called by other mods
• Compatible operation with Patbox's official Placeholder API version doesn't cause conflicts due to independent library calls

For Developers

Ensure your mainProject points to the most current version of Minecraft.

Work exclusively with the common.gradle file. Remove the eu.pb4:placeholder-api dependency from the appropriate section.

Do not add the following code to the wrapper's build.gradle, as this will break library functionality for versions other than those specified in mainProject:

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "Jitpack"
        url = "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}

dependencies {
    modCompileOnly("com.github.Xujiayao:TextPlaceholderAPI-Compat:2.6.1-compat.1")
}

Edit all existing fabric.mod.json files:

{
    "depends": {
        "fabricloader": ">=0.16.10",
        "java": ">=21",
        "placeholder-api-compat": "*"
    }
}

Finally, change the imported package in your code from eu.pb4.placeholders to com.xujiayao.placeholder_api_compat.

Support

If you discover errors or have questions, you can create an issue on GitHub. Compatibility issues are considered in this repository, but issues related directly to Placeholder API should be directed to the original project repository.

About Placeholder API

Placeholder API is a compact, Jar-in-Jar embeddable library for creating and processing text placeholders in strings and Minecraft Text Components. The placeholder format uses a simple scheme of %modid:type% or %modid:type data% (in versions prior to 1.19, %modid:type/data% format was used).

Also includes simplified text formats for streamlining user input in configurations, chats, and similar elements.
