[1.17.1]: How do I setup relational placeholders #1426

Closed MrMcyeet closed 2 years ago

MrMcyeet commented 2 years ago

How do we go about setting up relational placeholders for the chat? I looked all throughout the API and the wiki on here, and didn't see anything relating to this. My goal is to make a placeholder that is sent into chat, as a players prefix, and parsed differently based on who is viewing it. In this case, the two parties to be parsed with the placeholder would be the person viewing chat, and the person who sent the chat message.

This is a screenshot of why I thought that something on this topic would be less difficult to find. image

We will support it automatically in the plugin, such as in formats/:
