Holograms

Attention: mod development has been discontinued!

For Minecraft versions 1.21.1 and newer, we recommend using HoloDisplays.

The Holograms mod provides the ability to create server-side holograms with full support for text formatting and item display. All elements are created at the packet level, ensuring their resilience to commands and other mods.

Formatting capabilities

For text processing, the PlaceholderAPI parser is used. Documentation on formatting can be found here. Placeholders from Placeholder API are also supported.

Types of display elements

• text - Formatted text
• text-long - Formatted text with increased visibility distance
• item - Item display (rotating or static)
• entity - Entity display
• particle - Particle display
• image - Image display
• execute - Invisible clickable element for command execution
• space - Adding space between lines

Management commands

To use commands, holograms.admin and holograms.main permissions are required. To add commands to holograms, holograms.executable is also needed.

Alternative commands: /holo or /hd instead of /holograms

Main commands:

• /holograms - Shows mod version
• /holograms create <id> - Creates a new hologram
• /holograms remove <id> - Removes selected hologram
• /holograms teleportTo <id> - Teleports player to hologram
• /holograms info <id> - Displays information about hologram

Modification commands:

• /holograms modify <id> update-rate <value> - Changes placeholder update frequency (in ticks, 1 sec = 20 ticks)
• /holograms modify <id> position [<coordinates>] - Changes hologram position

Content management:

• /holograms modify <id> lines set <position> <value> - Sets a line
• /holograms modify <id> lines add <value> - Adds a line to the end
• /holograms modify <id> lines insert <position> <value> - Inserts a line at position
• /holograms modify <id> lines remove <position> - Removes a line at position
