ShowMy

Every Minecraft server admin knows the struggle: players constantly asking “What’s my rank?” or “How much money do I have?” ShowMy for Minecraft solves this elegantly. It’s a lightweight, intuitive plugin that lets players pull up personalized information using commands that feel like natural speech. Instead of memorizing obscure syntax, they simply type /showmy rank, /showmy balance, or any custom module you define. Powered by PlaceholderAPI, ShowMy delivers real-time, dynamic data directly in the chat window.

What Makes ShowMy Stand Out?

Unlike bulky info plugins that overwhelm players with menus and complex commands, ShowMy focuses on one thing: showing exactly what the player asks for. The command structure mirrors everyday language — “Show my kills,” “Show my coords” — making it instantly accessible even for newcomers. Behind the scenes, server owners have full control over which modules appear, who can use them, and what data each module pulls from PlaceholderAPI. The result is a clutter-free, highly customizable info system that fits any server type, from survival to RPG to minigames.

Key Features of ShowMy for Minecraft

• Natural command syntax — /showmy <module> reads like a spoken request.
• Fully configurable modules — define unlimited custom info snippets in config.yml.
• Permission-based access — restrict sensitive stats to specific ranks or players.
• In-game reload — update the configuration instantly without restarting the server.
• PlaceholderAPI integration — pull live data from economy, rank, stats, and more.
• Optional debug logging — troubleshoot module behavior directly from the console.
• Lightweight footprint — minimal performance impact, ideal for large servers.

How to Install ShowMy on Your Server

Before you download ShowMy, ensure your server meets the requirements. You’ll need a Spigot, Paper, or compatible Minecraft server running Java 21 or higher. The plugin also depends on PlaceholderAPI 2.11.6 or newer — without it, ShowMy cannot resolve dynamic placeholders. The plugin itself is compatible with modern Minecraft versions, including 1.20 and above, and likely works on older releases as long as the server software supports Java 21.

To install, download ShowMy from the official Spigot resource page or your preferred plugin source. Place the JAR file into your server’s /plugins folder, then restart the server or run a plugin reload command. Once loaded, a default config.yml will be generated. For those who prefer a streamlined experience, the foxygame.net launcher includes ShowMy in its curated add-on catalog, enabling one-click installation and automatic version matching so you never have to worry about compatibility or manual updates.

Configuring Your Custom Modules

The true power of ShowMy lies in its module system. Open config.yml and you’ll find a modules section where each entry represents a command. A module has two essential parts: text-to-show (the message displayed, with PlaceholderAPI placeholders) and permission (the node required to use it). Here’s a practical example for a rank module:

modules: rank: text-to-show: 'Your current rank is: %luckperms_primary_group%' permission: showmy.modules.rank

You can create modules for balance, kills, coordinates, playtime, or any stat your installed plugins expose. Note that these commands are not included by default — you craft them manually, giving you complete creative control. After editing, use /showmy reload to apply changes instantly.

Permissions and Security

ShowMy ships with a sensible permission hierarchy. The base node showmy.use is granted to all players by default, allowing them to run the root command. Administrative nodes like showmy.reload and showmy.modules.* are operator-only. You can fine-tune access per module with showmy.modules.<module>, ensuring that sensitive data (e.g., admin-only stats) stays hidden. The plugin also supports a wildcard showmy.* for full access. If a player lacks permission, they see a configurable no-permission message, which itself supports PlaceholderAPI placeholders for a personalized touch.

Real-World Use Cases

Imagine a survival server where players want to check their balance on the fly. With ShowMy, /showmy balance returns their Vault economy balance instantly. On a PvP server, /showmy kills displays the player’s kill count from Minecraft’s built-in statistics. An RPG server might use /showmy class to show a custom class name from a roles plugin. Even basic utilities like /showmy coords become effortless. Because everything runs through PlaceholderAPI, the possibilities are endless — any placeholder from any compatible plugin can become a module.

Why Choose ShowMy Over Other Info Plugins?

Many info plugins come with GUI menus, scoreboards, or bloated feature sets that players rarely use. ShowMy strips away the excess. It respects both the player’s desire for quick answers and the admin’s need for simplicity. The natural language design reduces support tickets, while the permission system keeps control firmly in the admin’s hands. Plus, its tiny resource footprint means it won’t lag your server, even during peak hours.

Conclusion

ShowMy redefines how players interact with their own data on a Minecraft server. By turning complex queries into conversational commands, it enhances the user experience without adding overhead. Whether you run a small community server or a large network, this plugin delivers exactly what its name promises: a straightforward way to show your stats.
