# Installation

First begin by placing the ForgePlaceholderAPI mod jar into your forge mods folder (/mods/).

Once the mod is in the mods folder start the server and then stop it again.

When the server starts with ForgePlaceholderAPI for the first time it will create a directory in the mods directory called "ForgePlaceholderAPI" (/mods/ForgePlaceholderAPI/). This is where you will place all the extension jars.

Upon the next server restart the mod will then attempt to load any jar files found in this directory as custom placeholder extensions.
