# 📄 Placeholders

These placeholders are provided by this plugin and can be used in any configuration that supports PlaceholderAPI (such as TAB, scoreboards, or chat formatting).

> Requirement: You must have [PlaceholderAPI](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/) installed and enabled on your server for these to function.
