What it does

The library is an unofficial NeoForge port of the original Fabric placeholder library. It can be bundled inside other mods through jar-in-jar, so dependent mods carry their own copy. Placeholders follow a simple modid:type format, with an optional data part written as modid:type/data. The library runs on the server and in the client, and it has to be on the server and every player's client wherever a dependent mod needs it. The library is published for NeoForge across 6 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Placeholder parsing

    Developers create placeholders and parse them within plain strings, so text in configs and chat can carry dynamic values.

  2. Text components

    Placeholders also work with Minecraft text components, keeping formatting intact after substitution.

  3. Simple placeholder format

    Each placeholder is written as modid:type, with an optional /data suffix inside percent signs.
