Placeholders
Placeholders allow you to display data from PlotSquared in other plugins using FeatherBoard or PlaceholderAPI.
As of 5.0, PlotSquared natively supports PlaceholderAPI and MVdWPlaceholderAPI.
Regardless of the placeholder API you're using, just start the server. There are no expansions to download: PlotSquared handles everything internally!
If you're using EssentialsChat and PlaceholderAPI, you must install ChatInjector in order for the placeholders to show up in the chat. However, please note it has been reported that ChatInjector might cause issues.
We recommend you to use an alternative chat plugin which supports PlaceholderAPI, such as DeluxeChat.
To display them via PlaceholderAPI use the following format: %plotsquared_<placeholder>%
To display them via FeatherBoard use the following format: {placeholderapi_plotsquared_<placeholder>}
If you think a placeholder for PlotSquared should be added, then please submit us a placeholder request.

PlotSquared messages and flags support PlaceholderAPI placeholders. The only requirement is that PAPI is installed on the server.
As an example, using /plot flag set greeting Welcome %player_name% will send the message "Welcome Steve" when the player Steve enters a plot.
This feature can be completely disabled in settings.yml. A list of available placeholders can be found here.
