Team Placeholders

Team placeholders always require a prefix. This can either be team- to get the current player's team, or top-team- to get a ranked team (see Top Player/Team Placeholders).

It is recommended to wrap these placeholders with the has-team placeholder when accessing a player's team because players might not belong to any team in which case these placeholders would return INVALID_CONTEXT.
Example: <has-team:<team-displayname>:->

Placeholder	Value
name	The team's name
displayname	The team's display-name (includes color code and #)
id	The team's internal id
kills	The total number of kills that the members of this team have made
lives	The number of team-lives this team has left

Top Player/Team Placeholders

All player/team placeholders can be used with either the prefix top-player-/top-team- to select the top player/team. The first argument is the desired ranking, where 1 means the best player/team. The second argument is returned in case no player/team with the desired ranking is found.

Examples:

• <top-player-name:1:-> will evaluate to the best player's name or - if there is no best player.
• <top-player-uuid:2:XXX> will evaluate to the second-best player's UUID or XXX if there is no second-best player
• <top-team-kills:3:-> will evaluate to the third-best team's kills or - if there is no third-best team

Placeholder API

If Placeholder API is installed, <papi:expansion_name:placeholder_name> can be used to access placeholders from other Placeholder API expansions. For example <papi:player:exp> can be used to show a player's experience.
