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!
    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.

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?
