Holograms

Floating text and item displays with MiniMessage formatting, PlaceholderAPI placeholders (computed per player), Nexo items, view radius and optional permission visibility. Everything is stored permanently and restored on server start; holograms load automatically with their chunk.

💡

Tip: The GUI (/holo) can do everything the subcommands can, plus a material picker for item lines, duplicating/moving lines and all display settings (billboard, scale, background, rotation, line spacing, permission). Text input runs through chat (cancel aborts, {empty} = blank line, 3 minute timeout).

ℹ️

Note: If a line contains a %, it is treated as a PlaceholderAPI placeholder and refreshed per player regularly (e.g. %player_name%). With a permission set, only players holding it see the hologram. Failed placeholders/formatting render as plain text instead of breaking the hologram; Nexo items without Nexo show a barrier icon.
