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 and all display settings (billboard, scale, background, rotation, line spacing, permission). Creating is a single anvil step: type the name (checked live for availability), the hologram appears at your eye height and the editor opens. Lines: left-click edits the content, right-click opens the line menu (move up, move down, duplicate, spacer above, delete). Deleting a hologram requires retyping its name in an anvil for safety. 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.
