I want to be able to display this number as a % value instead of as just the default numbers.
I have tried to do this via the PlaceholderAPI expansion Math, and have not had any luck, as I believe since they are jobs placeholders and not PAPI placeholders it can't format them properly.

Basically, instead of being currentxp/neededxp, I want to display that instead as:
Completed: 33% for example.
All I really need to do is make it a math equation but due to this being made up of 2 placeholders I am struggling.
Just so the code is also here.
And so what I did with the math extension is also here:
All of this is on the JobsReborn plugin.
PAPI/JobsReborn seems to have a pack of placeholders but I'm still struggling with figuring out how to use them
because jobs reborn's internal placeholders use percentage as their identifier, wouldnt suprise me if you wanna use placeholderapi placeholders you would use curly braces
is this working yet? if not try flipping your math placeholder, replacing the outer percentages with curly braces and changing the inner curly braces with percentages
Gonna try this out now - Thank you!
idk if the config files support placeholders or if they just provide placeholders
what confuses me is actually jobs reborn seems to have papi placeholders - but using them looks like a bit of a pain
i just quickly had a search of the jobs sourcecode, looks likes it just adds placeholders, it doesnt seem like it actually support them in its configs or whatnot
However I did find an extension which seems to do the same thing but makes them PAPI accessible
PlaceholderAPI | Expansion Cloud
The eCloud > Expansions > Jobs
View, download and manage expansions within the eCloud for the PlaceholderAPI plugin.
This one, but not 100% sure
My problem with this though is that it doesn't seem to apply the same placeholders, if that makes sense
jobs provides placeholders that papi can use, but doesnt support placeholders in their configs
Hm, would there be a roundabout way to make it work?
youd have to modify the jobs reborn code
yuck lol
this is the current supported placeholders
I see
without modifying the code of the plugin, you cant display the percentage
which sucks
ig you could make an issue on github requesting the feature but you might be waiting awhile for that
Seeing how little this plugin is already updated, i'll put it in but honestly I expect no response 😂 Thank you for the help though, I appreciate it
I mean isnt the bossbar kinda a % indicator anyway
it would look more astetic as a % tho
it is, but with higher xp (as shown in my 1st ss) it is quite long, lol
being able to show it as a "33% Completed" instead would be much nicer looking imo
I've gone ahead and requested it as a change on the Jobs github, so we'll see if I ever get a response lol
