PlaceholderAPI

• Download the player ecloud expansion for Placeholder API

• Use %player_displayname%

• If you have a specific setup that needs the minimessage formatting before it has been parsed, i.e. the "<red>Nickname</red>" version, you can use %simplenicks_mininick%

  • This won't be necessary for most users though, the previous one will work best.
