Installation

Requirements

Before installing DynamicAPI, make sure your server meets the following requirements:

Requirements

  • Minecraft version: 1.8 or later
  • Server software: Spigot, Paper or forks (In most cases, if PlaceholderAPI works on your server, that means DynamicAPI should work as well)
  • Dependency: PlaceholderAPI must be installed

Steps

1. Download the latest version of DynamicAPI from Modrinth.

2. Place the downloaded .jar file inside your server's plugins/ folder.

3. Make sure PlaceholderAPI is also in your plugins/ folder.

4. Restart your server. DynamicAPI will generate the following folder structure:

plugins/
└── DynamicAPI/
    ├── config.yml
    ├── placeholders/
    │   ├── placeholders.yml
    │   └── more_placeholders.yml
    └── messages/
        ├── origins/
        │   └── en_US.yml
        └── custom/
            └── custom.yml

5. You're ready to go! Use /dapi help to see all available commands.

Configuration

The config.yml file contains the main settings for DynamicAPI:

Config:
  # Change the language of DAPI within the game. The list of available languages is located at: plugins/DynamicAPI/messages
  language: 'en_US'
  # The plugin will attempt to auto-update when it finds a new version.
  auto_update: true
  # The plugin will send an update notification when it finds a new version if auto-update is disabled.
  update_notification: true
  # Contribute to our statistics anonymously with bStats. More information: https://bstats.org/
  bstats_metrics: true

Updating

If auto_update is enabled in config.yml, DynamicAPI will automatically download new versions into the server's update/ folder and apply them on the next restart.

If you prefer to update manually, simply replace the .jar file in plugins/ with the new one and restart the server.
