PlaceholderMaker

PlaceholderMaker is a Minecraft mod for the Fabric platform that opens up new possibilities for creating dynamic text templates. With it, you can develop unique substitution expressions capable of adapting to game conditions using rules and execution conditions.

How the Mod Works

The system operates through configuration files in json format, where you define rules for processing values. Conditions monitor changes in other substitutions used in these configurations, creating complex interconnections between different data.

The mod integrates with Placeholder API and is compatible with all substitution expression systems from other modifications. Created templates are placed in the pmaker/placeholders folder and called in-game using special syntax, for example: %pm:player_health%.

Condition System

Conditional operators allow precise customization of substitution behavior:

• < — less than
• > — greater than
• <= — less than or equal to
• >= — greater than or equal to
• = — equal to
• ! — not equal to
• % — check for divisibility by a number
• null — value is absent

Practical Example

Create a health_status.json file in the config/pmaker/placeholders/ directory with the following content:

{
  "placeholders": [
    {
      "placeholderid": "health_status",
      "placeholder": "%player:health%",
      "rules": [
        {
          "condition": "<3",
          "text": "&cYou're about to die!"
        },
        {
          "condition": "<6",
          "text": "&eHang in there, warrior!"
        },
        {
          "condition": null,
          "text": "&aYou look perfectly healthy!"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
