Variable (or sometimes Placeholder) is a special string that will be replaced to a value that is relative to the player.
Variables can be seen as the string inside curly brackets {}. We will see some of these variables in the next section.
An admin can use the command /getvaraibles to get the list of registered variables
You can use variables in your text by putting them in curly brackets. For example, Hello {player}! will say hello to the player, with {player} replaced to the player's name.
{player} returns the player's name{uuid} returns the unique id of the player{online} returns the number of online players{max_players} returns the max capacity of players in the server{world} returns the current world of the player{world_env} returns the environment of the current world of the player{x} returns the current X position of the player{y} returns the current Y position of the player{z} returns the current Z position of the player{bed_world} returns the current world of the player's bed{bed_world_env} returns the environment of the current world of the player's bed{bed_x} returns the current X position of the player's bed{bed_y} returns the current Y position of the player's bed{bed_z} returns the current Z position of the player's bed{exp} returns the experiences (XP) of the player{level} returns the level of the player{exp_to_level} returns the required XP to go to the next level{food_level} returns the food level of the player{ip} returns the IP address of the player{biome} returns the current biome in the player's current location{ping} returns the latency of the player's connection{random_<i>} or {random_<i1>:<i2}} returns a random number from 0 to <i>, or from <i1> to <i2>
Variables start with menu_ are called Menu Variables.
Those variables are generated by the menu.
To use variables from another menu: {menu_<menu_name>.yml_<variable>
Example: If you use Args Menu in a menu called test.yml and want to use {merged_args} in other menus, you can use {menu_test.yml_merged_args}
You can use placeholders from PlaceholderAPI in your text.
You can also use variables from BetterGUI to other plugins via PlaceholderAPI
The format for this is %bettergui_<variable>% (<variable> is a variable without the curly brackets {})
For example, this is the placeholder to use {player} in other plugins: %bettergui_player%
