Where it goes
Is Levelz Placeholder API required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.

levelz-placeholder-1.0.0.jar. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install LevelZ, LibZ, Fabric API, Cloth Config API (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge) first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 3 come through another mod in the chain.
3 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Levelz Placeholder API add?
# LevelZ Placeholder API
A lightweight Fabric mod that exposes a player's [LevelZ]
level, skill levels, and experience as placeholders, so you can show RPG progression anywhere
Placeholder API is supported — chat, nicknames, scoreboards, sidebars, and tab lists.
## Placeholders
| Placeholder | Output | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `%levelz:level%` | Player's overall level | `42` |
| `%levelz:skill_level <skill>%` | Level for a specific skill | `%levelz:skill_level mining%` → `15` |
| `%levelz:xp%` | Current XP | `1234` |
| `%levelz:skill_points%` | Unspent skill points | `3` |
New players with no LevelZ data yet will show `0` instead of throwing errors.
## Requirements
- Fabric Loader ≥ 0.16.0
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- [Fabric API](https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api)
- [Placeholder API](https://modrinth.com/mod/placeholder-api) ≥ 2.4.0
- [LevelZ](https://modrinth.com/mod/levelz) (Cloth Config & LibZ are bundled with LevelZ itself)
## Example Usage
**StyledChat format:**
"chat_format": "[✦] Lv.%levelz:level% %player:displayname% ❯ %message%"
**Sidebar (StyledSidebars):**
```json
{
"title": "Player Info",
"entries": [
"Level: %levelz:level%",
"Mining: %levelz:skill_level mining%"
]
}
```
**Nicknames / tab list:** drop `%levelz:level%` or `%levelz:skill_level <skill>%` into any
styled placeholder text field.
## Notes
- Server-side only mod. No client installation needed.
- LevelZ doesn't expose a stable public API, so this mod reads its internal data structures
directly. Updating LevelZ to a new major version may require an update to this mod as well —
check the changelog before updating LevelZ on a live server.
- Skill names match whatever is registered in your LevelZ config/datapack (including custom
skills added via datapack since LevelZ 2.0.0).
