Placeholders
1.6.2 registers a PlaceholderAPI expansion when PlaceholderAPI is installed. The console logs PlaceholderAPI found, enabling extension on startup when it does.
All placeholders are prefixed with BetterKeepInventory_ and are resolved for the player they are shown to.
Grace period
| Placeholder | Returns |
|---|---|
%BetterKeepInventory_grace_timer_active% | true while the player is in their grace period, otherwise false |
%BetterKeepInventory_grace_timer_seconds% | Whole seconds of grace remaining |
grace_timer_seconds returns the literal text null when the player has no grace running, not 0. Gate it behind grace_timer_active if you're putting it on a scoreboard or in an action bar.
Override state
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_<key>% returns true when an override is in effect for that punishment at the player's current location — meaning the punishment is switched off there.
<key> is any of the punishment keys, in lowercase:
| Placeholder | true when |
|---|---|
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_all% | The plugin is fully overridden here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_items% | Durability damage is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_armor% | Armor damage is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_hotbar% | Hotbar and off-hand damage is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_inventory% | Main inventory damage is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_exp% | XP level loss is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_exp_level% | Level progress reset is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_potions% | Potion carry-over is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_hunger% | Hunger restoration is off here |
%BetterKeepInventory_is_active_eco% | The money penalty is off here |
If ALL is overridden at the player's position, every one of these returns true.
These read the player's current position, so they update as the player walks around — handy for a scoreboard line that shows whether someone is standing somewhere safe. They do not account for gamemode, the keepInventory gamerule, or bypass permissions.
