Support for specific plugins are provided either by the plugin itself or through expansions. The expansions may be downloaded in-game through the PAPI Expansion Cloud. There are currently over 230+ expansions that support a wide variety of plugins, such as Essentials, Factions, LuckPerms, and Vault. If you're a developer and you want to add support for PlaceholderAPI in your plugin please head to our [API Usage](https://github.com/placeholderapi/placeholderapi/wiki/hook-into-placeholderapi) page for more information. **PlaceholderAPI** has been downloaded over 2,000,000 times and is currently used concurrently on over 50,000 servers, which makes it a must-have for a server of any type or scale. ![Getting Started](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/refs/heads/assets/dark_mode/GETTING_STARTED.png) ![Steps to install](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/refs/heads/assets/dark_mode/STEPS.png) ![Configuration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/refs/heads/assets/dark_mode/CONFIG.png) The `config.yml` contains the core plugin customization settings as well as a section specifically for expansions that wish to add configurable options too. Any settings an expansion may allow you to change will be added to the `config.yml` when that specific expansion is loaded. ```yaml # PlaceholderAPI # Version: 2.11.4 # Created by: extended_clip # Contributors: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/graphs/contributors # Issues: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/issues # Expansions: https://ecloud.placeholderapi.com/expansions/all/ # Wiki: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki # Discord: https://helpch.at/discord # No placeholders are provided with this plugin by default. # Download placeholders: /papi ecloud check_updates: true cloud_enabled: true cloud_sorting: "name" cloud_allow_unverified_expansions: false boolean: 'true': 'yes' 'false': 'no' date_format: MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss debug: false ``` ![Permissions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/refs/heads/assets/dark_mode/PERMISSIONS.png) ```yaml permissions: placeholderapi.*: description: "Ability to use all PAPI commands" children: placeholderapi.admin: true placeholderapi.ecloud.*: true placeholderapi.admin: description: "Ability to use all PAPI commands" children: placeholderapi.help: true placeholderapi.info: true placeholderapi.list: true placeholderapi.parse: true placeholderapi.reload: true placeholderapi.version: true placeholderapi.register: true placeholderapi.unregister: true placeholderapi.updatenotify: true placeholderapi.ecloud.*: description: "Ability to use all PAPI ecloud commands" children: placeholderapi.ecloud: true placeholderapi.ecloud.info: true placeholderapi.ecloud.list: true placeholderapi.ecloud.clear: true placeholderapi.ecloud.status: true placeholderapi.ecloud.update: true placeholderapi.ecloud.refresh: true placeholderapi.ecloud.download: true placeholderapi.ecloud.placeholders: true placeholderapi.help: default: "op" description: "Allows you to view the list of PAPI commands" placeholderapi.info: default: "op" description: "Allows you to view expansion information" placeholderapi.list: default: "op" description: "Allows you to list active expansions" placeholderapi.ecloud: default: "op" description: "Allows you to access PAPI eCloud" placeholderapi.parse: default: "op" description: "Allows you to parse placeholders" placeholderapi.reload: default: "op" description: "Allows you to reload PAPI and its configuration" placeholderapi.version: default: "op" description: "Allows you to view the version of PAPI installed" placeholderapi.register: default: "op" description: "Allows you to register expansions" placeholderapi.unregister: default: "op" description: "Allows you to unregister expansions" placeholderapi.updatenotify: default: "op" description: "Notifies you when there is a PAPI update" placeholderapi.ecloud.info: default: "op" description: "Allows you to view cloud expansion information" placeholderapi.ecloud.list: default: "op" description: "Allows you to list eCloud expansions" placeholderapi.ecloud.clear: default: "op" description: "Allows you to clear the local eCloud expansion cache" placeholderapi.ecloud.status: default: "op" description: "Allows you to view the status of eCloud expansions" placeholderapi.ecloud.update: default: "op" description: "Allows you to update registered eCloud expansions" placeholderapi.ecloud.refresh: default: "op" description: "Allows you to refresh the local eCloud expansion cache" placeholderapi.ecloud.download: default: "op" description: "Allows you to download an expansion from the eCloud" placeholderapi.ecloud.placeholders: default: "op" description: "Allows you to view the placeholders of a eCloud expansion" ``` ![Commands](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/refs/heads/assets/dark_mode/COMMANDS.png) **Parse Commands** `/papi bcparse ` `/papi cmdparse ` `/papi parse ` `/papi parserel ` **eCloud Commands** `/papi ecloud status` `/papi ecloud clear` `/papi ecloud download [version]` `/papi ecloud update ` `/papi ecloud info [version]` `/papi ecloud list |installed> [page]` `/papi ecloud placeholders ` `/papi ecloud refresh` **Expansion Commands** `/papi info ` `/papi list` `/papi register ` `/papi unregister ` **Utility Commands** `/papi dump` `/papi reload` `/papi version` **Some Useful Links** [Plugins using PAPI](https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/plugins-using-placeholderapi/) - [API Usage](https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/developers/using-placeholderapi/) - [Placeholder List](https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/users/placeholder-list/) - [Wiki](https://wiki.placeholderapi.com/) If you enjoy this **completely free** and **powerful** resource, please be kind enough to leave a like and review!
