Confirmation

• I have read the FAQ.
• I have tested the latest development build of Holographic Displays and the bug is still present.
• I have updated Spigot to the latest release for my particular Minecraft version.
• I made sure the bug hasn't already been reported on the issue tracker.

Description

Registering placeholders using the API ( v2 ) does not seems to work anymore.

How to reproduce

1. Create a plugin containing :

HologramsAPI.registerPlaceholder(this, "%papicapi_placeholder%", 1, new PlaceholderReplacer() {

				@Override
				public String update() {
					return "Placeholders are working";
				}
				
			});

2. Create a hologram with this placeholder inside.
3. It displays only "%papicapi_placeholder%"

Additional information

I saw other reports about the placeholders and i suppose their issues are related to mine but none was talking about the API.

Unfortunately old placeholders did not have strict rules on formatting, so they were more like arbitrary replacements. The fix is to wrap automatically with curly braces those who do not respect the traditional format, in your example you would need to use {%papicapi_placeholder%} to display it, even if you registered it as %papicapi_placeholder%. The plugin will also print a warning when they are registered to inform server admins.

Ok, thanks a lot ! Didn't find this information anywhere ! 👍
