Currency Placeholders

ProAuction does not register its own PlaceholderAPI placeholders. Instead, PlaceholderAPI is used only to power AUCTION-type currencies (placeholder + set-command currencies).

How AUCTION currency works

  1. To read a balance, ProAuction resolves the configured placeholder through PlaceholderAPI.
  2. To write a balance, ProAuction dispatches the configured console set-command with the amount.
  3. If PlaceholderAPI or the external currency plugin is missing, that currency becomes unusable and transactions are blocked.

Example: Rubies

Placeholder
%procurrency_value%
Set Command
rubie set %player% %amount%
Meaning: balance is read from PlaceholderAPI and updated by dispatching your currency plugin’s command.

Common mistakes

  • • PlaceholderAPI installed, but the placeholder provider plugin is missing.
  • • Placeholder string typo (must exactly match).
  • • Set command is wrong or requires different arguments.
  • • Set command isn’t executed as console or lacks permission.

Important note

If you remove PlaceholderAPI or the external currency plugin, ProAuction will block listings/purchases that use that AUCTION currency. Vault-type currencies are unaffected.
