Placeholders allow for certain values to be used in certain text inputs in Housing. These placeholders are then automatically formatted into the associated value, and will update whenever the placeholder value is changed.
The command /placeholders displays a list of every Housing placeholder in chat. The command /testplaceholder <placeholder> serves as a text input, and can be used to see the formatting of potential placeholders in chat.

Placeholder Types
There are currently 4 types of placeholder outputs in Housing: integer, formatted integer, string, and color.
- Integer type placeholders will format into a simple number, and can be used in integer inputs (such as the Change Player Stat Action "Amount" parameter)
- Formatted Integer placeholders format into a slightly edited number. Some examples of how this integer may be formatted are: automatic coloring, a unit of measurement, or appended zeros. These placeholders can still be used in integer inputs.
- String type placeholders will format into a simple length of text, and cannot be used in integer inputs. These can sometimes be colored, but will always contain text.
- Color type placeholders will format into an invisible state, only changing the color of text which comes after the placeholder. This is done with color codes.
