Using Simplified Text Format/TextParser

You can read about the format here!

Usage of TextParser is simple and really customisable. You just need to import eu.pb4.placeholders.api.TextParserUtils and call static formatText method for admin provided configs or formatTextSafe for player provided ones. They both take only one String argument and output a Text object.

Example

1
2
3
String inputString = "<red>Hello <rb>World</rb>!"

Text output = TextParserUtils.parseText(inputString);

1

3
val inputString = "<red>Hello <rb>World</rb>!"

val output = TextParserUtils.parseText(inputString);

Parsing with only selected ones

If you want to only use selected tags, you can simply get map of all with TextParserV1.DEFAULT.getTags(). Then you just use them with TextParserUtils.parseText(String, TextParserV1.TagParserGetter).
