PlaceholderAPI placeholders are text tokens (%identifier_key%) that any PAPI-aware mod expands per-player — used in the Endless chat layout, Endless-Info labels/boards, and any other mod that accepts PAPI strings. This page covers install, behavior, usage and the full placeholder reference.
Requirements
| Plugin | Version | Type |
|---|---|---|
| PlaceholderAPI (CurseForge) | ≥ 1.0.8 | Optional dependency |
| Endless-Leveling-Core | ≥ 11.2.2 | Ships the el expansion |
| Endless-Guilds | ≥ 1.1.0 | Ships the guilds expansion |
| EndlessLink | ≥ 2.4.1 | Ships the endlesslink expansion |
Setup & Behavior
Each mod's PlaceholderAPI expansion self-registers on boot when PlaceholderAPI is installed. If PlaceholderAPI isn't present, the mod soft-loads and the expansion no-ops — a single info log line, nothing else changes. No configuration is required either way.
Usage
EndlessLink chat layout — ingameChatLayout accepts any %...% PAPI token alongside EndlessLink's own internal chat tokens. PAPI tokens resolve before EndlessLink's internal chat tokens.
ingameChatLayout: "%endlesslink_rank% %el_class% [Lv.%el_level%] %player_name%: %message%"
Endless-Info labels — labels and boards resolve PAPI tokens too:
Guild: %guilds_name% (%guilds_tag%) — Lv.%guilds_level% — %guilds_online%/%guilds_members% online
The Core expansion is deliberately identified
el, notendless, because chat resolves PAPI first — anendlessidentifier would shadow EndlessLink's own internal%endless_level%/%endless_prestige%chat tokens.

Legacy / raid placeholders — endlessleveling

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause |
|---|---|
Token shows up literally (e.g. %el_level% unresolved) | PlaceholderAPI isn't installed, or the mod that ships that expansion is missing/outdated |
| Token expands to empty | No data to show — profile not loaded, player not in a guild, or nothing selected (rank/title) |
Guild placeholders disagree between %endlesslink_guild_*% and %guilds_*% | Expected — endlesslink_guild_* reflects EndlessLink's own chat guild metadata, guilds_* from Endless Guilds is the authoritative guild data |
