PlaceholderAPI Integration

Overview

RexChat integrates with PlaceholderAPI in two ways:

1. Uses PAPI placeholders in chat format, hover text, join/leave messages
2. Provides custom placeholders for other plugins to use

Using PAPI Placeholders

Any PlaceholderAPI placeholder works in:

• chat-format.format
• chat-format.groups.*.format
• Hover lines
• Join/leave messages
• Dynamic command messages

Example:

chat-format:
  format: "%luckperms_prefix% &7%player_name%: &f{message}"

In Chat Messages

Players with rexchat.chat.placeholders permission can use PAPI placeholders directly in their chat messages.

RexChat Placeholders

These placeholders are registered when PlaceholderAPI is present:

Placeholder	Description
%rexchat_tag%	Player’s selected tag (from tag system)
%rexchat_muted%	Whether chat is muted (true/false)
%rexchat_chatcolor%	Player’s selected chat color ID

Internal Placeholder

Placeholder	Description
%rc_prefix%	RexChat message prefix (from messages.prefix)

This is not a PAPI placeholder — it’s resolved internally by RexChat in all message strings.
