PlaceholderProbe Guide

This page introduces PlaceholderProbe as a public testing guide. It focuses on what the tool checks, how testers get started, and which commands are useful on an authorized test server.

What It Does

Strict server probe for server and onembcmi placeholders.

How Testers Use It

Start with /placeholderprobe status. The sections below explain what PlaceholderProbe checks, which commands authorized testers can use, and what its output means.

Available features include:

• Show PlaceholderAPI loaded state and registered expansion identifiers.
• Search registered PlaceholderAPI expansion identifiers by safe text.
• Parse one allowed placeholder for console, the sender, or a named online player.
• Run a configured sample set for quick CMI and onembcmi checks.
• Keep a bounded recent in-memory history of probe inputs and outputs.
• Classify recent output as changed, unchanged, unresolved, empty, or error.
• Show recent stats including slow probes and average parse time.
• Dump recent probe history to the shared cache folder.

Quick Start

1. Start with /placeholderprobe status to open or view PlaceholderProbe.
2. Use /placeholderprobe status to check your current progress, settings, or state.
3. Try /placeholderprobe parse example when you are ready to use one of the feature actions.
