Decent Holograms Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first hologram?
Use the create command with a name to spawn a hologram at your location, then use text commands to add lines of content. Check the 'Create Your First Hologram' guide for the exact syntax and examples.
Can I make holograms that follow players or entities?
Holograms are stationary by default, but you can attach them to entities using the appropriate attachment command, which will make the hologram move with that entity.
How do I delete a hologram?
Use the remove or delete command followed by the hologram's name to permanently remove it from the world.
What's the difference between permissions for viewing holograms vs editing them?
View permissions control who can see a hologram, while edit permissions control who can modify or delete it; you can set these independently per hologram or per line.
Do holograms save when I restart the server?
Yes, holograms are automatically saved to storage and will persist across server restarts unless you manually delete them.
Can I use color codes and formatting in hologram text?
Yes, the plugin supports standard color and formatting codes in hologram lines, allowing you to customize text appearance.
How do damage and heal displays work?
Enable damage or heal display on an entity, and numbers will automatically appear above it when that entity takes damage or receives healing; see the 'Display Damage and Healing Numbers Above Entities' guide for setup.
Can I have holograms that only show to specific players or groups?
Yes, use the permission system to restrict visibility to players with specific permission nodes, allowing you to create private or group-only holograms.
What happens if I try to create a hologram with the same name as an existing one?
The plugin will either prevent the creation or overwrite the existing hologram depending on your configuration; it's best to use unique names for each hologram.
Do holograms work in all dimensions or only the overworld?
Holograms work in all dimensions—you can create them in the Nether, End, and any custom dimensions just as you would in the Overworld.
