PlaceholderAPI

PlaceholderAPI is a great tool! You can install it on your server to get even more use of CommandUtils. Every command in any CommandUtils config or command can contain placeholders.

For even more functionality, try out this unofficial release, which adds the %user% placeholder and fixes bugs. It allows you to refer to players which aren't on the server.

If KitCrafty is online, this works:

/cmdUtils execute parsed KitCrafty *say %player% is cool!

But when he is offline, the %player% placeholder won't resolve.

To solve this, the unofficial build adds %user%:

/cmdUtils execute parsed KitCrafty *say %user% is cool!

This works even when the specified player is offline.
