PlaceholderAPI Integration - SentryStudios

SentryWipe seamlessly integrates with PlaceholderAPI to allow server administrators to display live wipe metrics on scoreboards, tablists, holograms, and admin dashboards. All metrics are served from the high-speed L1 cache (StatsManager), guaranteeing zero database lag when polled at high frequencies.

Global Server Placeholders

Placeholder	Output Format	Description
`%sentrywipe_total_wipes%`	Integer (e.g. `142`)	Total number of wipes executed across the server lifetime.
`%sentrywipe_last_wipe%`	Epoch Millis (e.g. `1716921600000`)	Raw epoch timestamp of the most recent wipe.
`%sentrywipe_last_wipe_formatted%`	Date String (e.g. `Oct 24, 18:30`)	Human-readable date and time of the last wipe (or `Never`).
`%sentrywipe_economy_wiped%`	Integer (e.g. `15000000`)	Total currency purged from the server economy via Vault.
`%sentrywipe_economy_wiped_formatted%`	Currency String (e.g. `$15,000,000`)	Formatted monetary sum purged by SentryWipe.
`%sentrywipe_data_cleared%`	Megabytes (e.g. `412.5`)	Total estimated disk space reclaimed from purged playerdata.

Player-Specific Placeholders

Placeholder	Output Format	Description
`%sentrywipe_wipes%`	Integer (e.g. `3`)	Number of times the viewing player has been wiped.
`%sentrywipe_player_wipes_<player>%`	Integer (e.g. `1`)	Number of wipes recorded for a specific target player (e.g. `%sentrywipe_player_wipes_Notch%`).

Troubleshooting

Placeholders are returning raw text (e.g. %sentrywipe_total_wipes%)

Ensure PlaceholderAPI is installed and active on your server.
Check plugins/SentryWipe/hooks.yml and ensure hooks.placeholderapi.enabled: true.
Run /papi reload in your server console.

Do I need to download an expansion from eCloud?

No! SentryWipe bundles its PlaceholderAPI expansion internally. You do not need to run /papi ecloud download sentrywipe. The expansion registers automatically on startup.
