Here are frequently asked questions about stuff related to PlaceholderAPI.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## It only shows %placeholder% and not the variable
|
||
|
Make sure, that you've tried the following steps:
|
||
|
- PlaceholderAPI is installed and running (Shows green in `/pl` and responds to the `/papi` command)
|
||
|
- You downloaded the expansion with `/papi ecloud download [expansion]`
|
||
|
A list of available expansions and their placeholders can be found [[here|Placeholders]]!
|
||
|
Also note that not all placeholders are in a seperate expansion. Some are "hardcoded" into a plugin.
|
||
|
- You reloaded PlaceholderAPI with `/papi reload` after downloading an expansion.
|
||
|
- Any possible dependency for the expansion (Plugin) is installed and running.
|
||
|
- The placeholder doesn't contain any typos.
|
||
|
- The plugin that should use the placeholder actually supports PlaceholderAPI.
|
||
|
For a list of plugins supporting PlaceholderAPI go [[here|Plugins-using-PlaceholderAPI]].

||
|
## I can't download the expansion
|
||
|
Make sure, that the connection to the cloud (https://api.extendedclip.com) isn't blocked by a firewall or similar.
|
||
|
Next step would be to check if the expansion actually exists on the cloud. Not all plugins provide their placeholders through a separate jar on the cloud. Some have them build in and register them on startup.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If both checks failed, go to the cloud-page and download the jar manually. Put it then in the `expansions` folder of PlaceholderAPI (`/plugins/PlaceholderAPI/expansions`)
|
||
|
|
||
|
## How can other plugins use my placeholders with PlaceholderAPI?
