Wiki
You can view the wiki here. This page is a go-to if you want to learn about all the features this plugin offers. This modrinth page only covers the basics.
Installation
Installation is very typical.
- Download the plugin
- Put it in (server folder)/plugins
- (Re)start your server.
Usage
If you haven't touched the config.yml file, then you should be able to see the default page at (machine ip):4567/api/global
Right now, it simply shows your Minecraft server's name with the %server_name% placeholder from the PlaceholderAPI expansion named Server.
If you don't want an advanced use of it, changing the default values will do just fine.
