PlaceholderAPI

Placeholders

Honeypot supports Placeholders and even provides three as well. If you want to use custom placeholders, you may do so by adding them to your honeypots.yml file.

Supported Placeholders

  • %honeypot_current_count_[type]%-- This placeholder displays the count of Honeypots the player has broken this cycle for a given type. Types are one of: break, inventory_open, inventory_interact, or generic. This will never be more than the trigger limit configured for that type in config.

  • %honeypot_current_count_[type]_[playerName]%-- This is the same as the previous placeholder, except it gets a specific player's count instead of the current player viewing/seeing it.

  • %honeypot_lifetime_triggers%-- This is the all-time total count of Honeypots the current player has triggered. This does not necessarily mean action was taken, but rather a trigger was counted against them.

  • %honeypot_lifetime_triggers_[playerName]%-- This is the same as the previous placeholder, except it gets a specific player's lifetime trigger count instead of the current player viewing/seeing it.

  • %honeypot_lifetime_actions%-- This is the all-time total count of actions that have been taken against the current player. This is only action taken, not how many Honeypots they've triggered.

  • %honeypot_lifetime_actions_[playerName]%-- This is the same as the previous placeholder, except it gets a specific player's lifetime action count instead of the current player viewing/seeing it.

  • %honeypot_triggers_before_action_[type]%-- This placeholder displays the count of triggers any given player needs to reach before action is taken against them for a given type. Types are one of: break, inventory_open, inventory_interact, or generic.

Legacy Placeholders

Honeypot's existing Placeholders are still supported, but are considered legacy and will be removed in the future. These placeholders only support the "blocks broken" trigger. It's recommended you use the new placeholders so that all triggers can be displayed.

  • %honeypot_current_count_broken%-- This placeholder displays the count of Honeypots the player has broken this cycle. This means that this value will never be more than trigger-limits.blocks-broken in config.

  • %honeypot_breaks_before_action%-- This placeholder displays the value of trigger-limits.blocks-broken.

  • %honeypot_current_count_broken_<player>%-- This placeholder will get the current amount of Honeypots a specific player has broken this cycle. This value will never be more than trigger-limits.blocks-broken in config.
