messages.yml

The messages.yml file contains the text shown to players and administrators during command usage, damage handling, and placeholder formatting.

Command and System Messages

The main messages section covers operational feedback such as:

No-permission warnings
Correct usage messages
Invalid Warden ID or UUID errors
Missing player or world messages
Reload confirmation
Kill confirmations
Cooldown warnings

These are the messages you will usually localize first if your server uses a language other than English.

Combat Feedback

Several messages are directly tied to boss interactions:

you-cant-hit-with-that
cant-hit-with-a-blacklisted-item
no-perm-to-hit-warden
no-perm-to-hit-phantom
hit-cooldown

Some Warden profiles can also override the cooldown message in config.yml under hit-settings.have-cooldown.

Placeholder Text

The placeholders section controls fallback and formatting values used by PlaceholderAPI integration.

Important entries include:

null-name
null-value
hit
not-hit
remaining-time
already-spawned

The remaining-time value is especially useful if you want scheduler placeholders to match your server’s formatting style.

Formatting Notes

Warden Party messages use color code formatting and can be customized freely. Keep placeholders intact when editing them so the plugin can still inject live values correctly.

Examples:

%usage%
{0} for formatted cooldown values
%hour%, %minute%, %second% in scheduler time strings
