# Cross-Server Player Count (Proxies using Redis)

## How do I use the Pinger placeholder?

#### First you will need to install the Pinger Expansion

```
/papi ecloud download Pinger
/papi reload
```

After you've installed the Pinger expansion you can use the following placeholder

```
%pinger_players_[ip]:[port]%
```

## How can I see the global amount of Players + Fake Players?

#### First you will need to install the Math Expansion

```
/papi ecloud download Math
/papi reload
```

After you've installed the Math Expansion, go to `PlaceholderAPI folder`, you can simply use this:\[Props to jokerset5 for updating this method]

```javascript
%math_0:_{pinger_players_IPSERVER1}+{pinger_players_IPSERVER2}%
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
You must have [PlaceholderAPI](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/) installed in order to use the Pinger and Math placeholder!
{% endhint %}
