I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

PlaceholderAPI integration
You can use placeholderAPI placeholders in the messages in the config by doing: <papi:placeholder>
You will need to remove any % from the placeholder, and put in the text alone, so for the placeholder
%player_displayname% you would use <papi:player_displayname> in the file here.
You will need placeholderAPI installed for those placeholders to work
Note: This only works in the
config.ymlThis will not work for messages in the
locale.yml
