Hover Text Generator

Build a chat hover card, the kind CMI's %cmi_user_stats_*% placeholders are often used for (rank, kills, play time, etc.), and copy it straight into your CarbonChat or CMI chat format, instead of writing their tags by hand.

Tip: if a value should be something that changes per message (like the player's name or a stat), type the placeholder itself instead of fixed text, e.g. %player_displayname% or %cmi_user_stats_MonsterKills%.

Each line can have a label and a value, each with its own colour. Leave the value empty for a label-only line, e.g. a heading like "Statistics:".

What the hover card looks like:

How to use it

  1. Add one or more lines to the hover card, each with its own label and value and their own colours - these lines feed both snippets.
  2. CarbonChat: paste the snippet into "format" in your channel's config (channels.conf), around wherever the player's name is already shown.
  3. CMI: paste the publicHover line under Chat: in plugins/CMI/Translations/Locale_EN.yml.
  4. ch_howto_4

CMI's colour codes (&) and CarbonChat's MiniMessage tags are written out correctly for each plugin automatically - you don't need to translate between them yourself.
