Placeholders
Complete list of PlaceholderAPI placeholders for zEssentials
zEssentials provides 150+ placeholders through PlaceholderAPI. All placeholders use the prefix %zessentials_ and can be used anywhere PlaceholderAPI is supported, including scoreboards, holograms, chat formatting, tab lists, and more.
Requirements
- PlaceholderAPI must be installed and enabled on your server.
- The zEssentials expansion is registered automatically when the plugin loads. You can verify it with
/papi list.
Placeholders containing {curly_braces} are dynamic parameters that you must replace with actual values. For example, %zessentials_user_balance_{economy}% becomes %zessentials_user_balance_default% if your economy is named default.

Placeholders display as raw text
- Verify that PlaceholderAPI is installed and loaded:
/papi list - Make sure the plugin or system you are using supports PlaceholderAPI (not all plugins parse PAPI placeholders).
- Reload PlaceholderAPI:
/papi reload
Placeholders return empty or incorrect values
- Ensure the corresponding module is enabled (e.g., Economy module for balance placeholders, Vote module for vote placeholders).
- Double-check the placeholder syntax, especially dynamic parameters like economy names, kit names, and slot names.
- For economy placeholders, confirm the economy name matches what is configured in
modules/economy/config.yml.
Placeholders not updating
- Some placeholders update on a refresh interval. If using scoreboards or holograms, ensure the update interval is configured properly.
- For baltop placeholders, the leaderboard may be cached and update periodically rather than in real time.
