# Placeholders

### Placeholders

Kudos supports placeholders. All placeholders in the table can be used in within the plugin. 

Additionally, Kudos supports [PlaceholderAPI](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/). This makes it possible to use all with "**Support PAPI:** `true`" marked placeholders also in other plugins that are supporting PlaceholderAPI.
