Placeholders Guide

This page explains the permission-gated Placeholders controls used by authorized staff and testers. It is not a normal player feature.

Placeholders combines the production %onemb_*% provider with the former Catalog, Probe, and Health tools behind one /_placeholders command and independently switchable modules.

Authorized staff use /_placeholders status and /_placeholders modules to inspect the parent and hosted modules. Provider data and the established permission, config, and placeholder namespaces remain compatible, while retired diagnostic roots now live under the Catalog, Probe, and Health subcommands.

Available features include:

  • The production %onemb_*% PlaceholderAPI provider and its established data remain compatible.
  • Catalog search and concrete placeholder examples under /_placeholders catalog.
  • Bounded ad hoc parsing and expansion diagnostics under /_placeholders probe.
  • Configured operational checks and Markdown reports under /_placeholders health.
  • Independent Provider, Catalog, Probe, and Health lifecycle switches.
  1. Run /_placeholders status to inspect the provider and parent lifecycle.
  2. Use /_placeholders modules to review all four hosted module states.
  3. Open the full reference before enabling a dormant diagnostic module or editing provider data.
