Kingdoms supports its own placeholders without needing a placeholder plugin. It supports PlaceholderAPI & MVdWPlaceholderAPI. You don't need to download the expansion from Papi ecloud, they're internally implemented into the plugin. The plugin's internal placeholder system is much more optimized than any other placeholder plugin, so it's technically better if you don't install these plugins when you don't need to use them.

Some of these placeholders have a default value in special cases which is accessed from config.yml -> default-placeholders
For example %kingdoms_name% will return the default value of the player is not in a kingdom. Or %kingdoms_territory% will return the default value if the land is not owned by any kingdom.

Short & Fancy Placeholders

Kingdoms has a very unique feature for showing number placeholders. These features can also be used via PlaceholderAPI.

Short Placeholders

A short placeholder is a number placeholder that is shortened with number suffixes for big numbers to fit in small messages.
To display a number placeholder as a short placeholder, you have to use short after %kingdoms_ So the proper format would be %kingdoms_short_<placeholder>%

Fancy Placeholders

A fancy placeholder is a number placeholder that is formatted with the currency format ###.00.
To display a number placeholder as a fancy placeholder, you have to use fancy after %kingdoms_ So the proper format would be %kingdoms_fancy_<placeholder>%

Examples:

Short Placeholder	Fancy Placeholder	Value	Short Output	Fancy Output
%kingdoms_short_members%	%kingdoms_fancy_members%	130	130	130
%kingdoms_short_bank%	%kingdoms_fancy_bank%	12330.34	12.3K	12,330.34
%kingdoms_short_nation_kingdoms%	%kingdoms_fancy_nation_kingdoms%	42345234	42.3M	42,345,234

Relational Placeholders

Not many plugins support relational placeholders. They can only be used if you have PlaceholderAPI plugin installed. Relational placeholders are placeholders that require two players. This will check the kingdom relation between them to make new special placeholders.
If you're using these placeholders from PlaceholderAPI you need to add rel_ at the beginning, so the format would be %rel_<placeholder>%

Placeholder	Description
%kingdoms_relation_name%	The relation name defined in relations.yml between your kingdoms.
%kingdoms_relation_color%	The relation color defined in relations.yml between your kingdoms.
