PlaceholderAPI Integration

InviteMe integrates with PlaceholderAPI to expose player invitation data as placeholders. Use these in scoreboards, tab lists, chat plugins, and more.

Prerequisites

• PlaceholderAPI installed on your server
• InviteMe installed and configured

Available Placeholders

All InviteMe placeholders use the %inviteme_*% prefix.

%inviteme_update_available%	Whether an update for your Minecraft version exists	true / false
%inviteme_versions_behind%	Newer versions for your Minecraft version (0 if up to date or unknown)	3

Setup

PlaceholderAPI is detected automatically. No extra configuration needed in InviteMe.

Verify it’s active:

/im debug

Test a placeholder in chat (requires a chat plugin that supports PlaceholderAPI):

/papi parse PlayerName %inviteme_used_invites%

---

Usage Examples

Server List Motd (AdvancedServerList)

Show invitation status before players join:

profiles:
  # Temporary invites
  - condition: "${player inviteme_is_invited} == true && ${player inviteme_is_invited_temp} == true"
    motd:
      - "<yellow>⏰ Temporary invite"
      - "<gray>Expires in: ${player inviteme_invite_expires_in}"
      - "<gray>Invited by: ${player inviteme_invited_by}"
      - "<dark_gray>On: ${player inviteme_invite_date}"

  # Permanent invites
  - condition: "${player inviteme_is_invited} == true && ${player inviteme_is_invited_temp} == false"
    motd:
      - "<green>✓ Permanently invited!"
      - "<gray>By: ${player inviteme_invited_by}"
      - "<dark_gray>Since: ${player inviteme_invite_date} (${player inviteme_days_since_invite} days)"

  # Not invited
  - condition: "${player inviteme_is_invited} == false"
    motd:
      - "<red>❌ You are not invited"
      - "<gray>Contact server staff for access"

Scoreboard (using CMI, Scoreboard-Revived, etc.)

lines:
  - "&6Your Invitations"
  - "&f%inviteme_used_invites%&7/&f%inviteme_max_invites%"
  - "%inviteme_invites_bar%"
  - ""
  - "&6Invited by"
  - "&f%inviteme_invited_by%"

Tab List (using TAB plugin)

header: "&6InviteMe Status"
footer: "&7Invites: &f%inviteme_used_invites%&7/&f%inviteme_max_invites% &7| Rank: &f%inviteme_rank%"

Holographic Displays

/hd create invites_stats &6Server Invitation Stats
/hd addline invites_stats &fTotal invitations: &6%inviteme_total_invites%
/hd addline invites_stats &fInvited players: &6%inviteme_total_players%
/hd addline invites_stats &fTop inviter: &6%inviteme_top_inviter% (&f%inviteme_top_inviter_count%&6)

Troubleshooting

Placeholders show as literal text (%inviteme_count% not replaced)

1. Confirm PlaceholderAPI is installed and enabled:

   /plugins
   # Look for: PlaceholderAPI [enabled]

2. Confirm InviteMe detects it:

   /im debug
   # Should show: PlaceholderAPI: Installed ✓
   # If "Not installed": PlaceholderAPI loaded after InviteMe → restart server

3. Test the placeholder directly:

   /papi parse YourName %inviteme_used_invites%

%inviteme_inviter% returns empty

The player has no inviter recorded — they may have been added via /im sync or manually to the whitelist before InviteMe was installed. This is expected.

Placeholders work for some players but not others

This can happen if a player joined before InviteMe was installed. Their data may not be in InviteMe’s database. Run:

/im sync
