Solved Featherboard custom placeholders not updating

Solved it, just needed to wrap my text in a <repeat>{hook}</repeat>

I am hooking FeatherBoard to register a custom placeholder, like so. I have FeatherBoard as a dependancy in my plugin.yml so it's definitely loading after featherboard.

Code (Text):

PlaceholderAPI.registerPlaceholder(featherboardPlaceholder, new PlaceholderAPI.PlaceholderRequestEventHandler() {
                @Override
                public String onPlaceholderRequest(PlaceholderAPI.PlaceholderRequestEvent evt) {
                    return Integer.toString(new Random().nextInt(5000));
                }
            });
 

And my featherboard config

Code (Text):

currency:
      text:
      - '{currency}'
      interval: 10
      random: false
 

Now the place holder registers just fine, it shows up in the console log that featherboard registered my hook.

And when I join the server it updates the hook, but only once, all the other built in hooks such as RAM update just fine. This problem is only resolved by doing "/featherboard reload".

However, I'd like to avoid having to do a featherboard reload each time I start my server, especially as it can't even be automated from console. Does anyone have any ideas as to why FeatherBoard is behaving like this?

PS: I found a similar thread here, but there didn't seem to be a solution and calling the reload method internally by reflection is not easy as the plugin is heavily obfuscated.
