## Adding placeholders to PlaceholderAPI
You can add your placeholders to PlaceholderAPI plugin by making an external expansion or by implementing that into your plugin itself if you're adding placeholders from a plugin.
### Without external plugin
[[Here|PlaceholderExpansion#without-an-external-plugin]] you can see how to make an external expansion that doesn't require a plugin (Placeholders without a plugin).
### With external plugin
You can add your plugin's placeholders to PlaceholderAPI with [[two ways|PlaceholderExpansion#with-external-plugin]]:
1. By making an external expansion ([[Separate jar file|PlaceholderExpansion#separate-jar]]).
2. By creating a class inside your plugin ([[Inner class|PlaceholderExpansion#internal-class]]).
A full guide on how to create expansions can be found on the [[PlaceholderExpansion]] page of this wiki.
