TFBMCSession
A lightweight PlaceholderAPI expansion for session playtime
A lightweight PlaceholderAPI expansion for session playtime
This plugin was originally developed for my own Minecraft server,
The Final Block – a small personal project where I’m building my “forever world.”
I needed a simple and lightweight way to display each player’s
current session playtime on the scoreboard without the clutter of full playtime trackers.
Since there wasn’t a plugin that did exactly what I wanted, I created TFBMCSession.
Now I’m sharing it here for anyone else who wants the same clean solution.
TFBMCSession is a simple, lightweight plugin that integrates with
PlaceholderAPI
to give you exactly one placeholder:
Code (Text):
%tfbmc_session%
- Seconds → Minutes → Hours → Days → Weeks → Months → Years
- Resets automatically when a player disconnects
- Updates in real time as the player stays online
- Works with scoreboards, GUIs, and any plugin that supports PlaceholderAPI
- Zero configuration – drop it in and it works
If you’ve ever wanted a clean and simple way to display session playtime
on your scoreboard, tab list, or GUI, without the bloat of full playtime trackers,
this plugin is for you.
Features

- Plug & Play – no commands, no setup, no extra steps
