Platform Placeholders

Platform Placeholders is a lightweight, high-performance PlaceholderAPI expansion designed for cross-play Minecraft servers running Paper/Spigot with GeyserMC & Floodgate.

Effortlessly detect whether your players are joining from Java Edition or Bedrock Edition, display their platform icons, and show their specific device operating systems across any plugin supporting PlaceholderAPI (Chat, TAB, Scoreboards, Holograms, GUIs, etc.).

Features

• Cross-Play Platform Detection: Automatically identifies Java and Bedrock players via Floodgate API.
• Detailed Device Identification: Displays the exact operating system of Bedrock players (Android, iOS, Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch).
• Lightweight & Fast: Zero lag, fully asynchronous placeholder expansion with zero background tasks.
• Fully Customizable: Toggle any placeholder category on/off and edit icons/colors in config.yml.
• Universal Compatibility: Works out-of-the-box with LPC, TAB, DeluxeMenus, ConditionalEvents, EssentialsX, and 100+ other plugins.
