Etheric Script Arrays Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first hologram?
Stand where you want the text to appear and type /eh create in chat, replacing with a unique name and with what you want displayed. The hologram will spawn at your feet and face toward you automatically.
Can players see holograms without installing the mod?
Yes, holograms are server-side only, so players joining with a normal Minecraft client can read every display without any extra files or mods.
How do I make a hologram face a wall like a sign?
Use /eh create fixed to spawn a hologram at a fixed angle, then use /eh setrotation [pitch] to point it exactly where you want.
Why can't players read my hologram in dark areas?
Use /eh backlight [height] to add glowing light blocks behind the text, which makes it visible in shadows without placing actual light blocks that affect the terrain.
How do I display an item floating above text?
Use /eh createitem to spawn a floating 3D item with a caption underneath it in one command.
Can I use color codes and gradients on holograms?
Yes, every text line accepts color codes and custom formatting styles including gradients, so you can make colorful displays without any extra setup.
How do I set up a live leaderboard that updates automatically?
Create a scoreboard hologram using the appropriate command, then use /eh settheme to apply a visual color theme that displays rankings automatically.
What do I do if a hologram is at the wrong height?
Use /eh movevertical to shift it up or down without recreating it, and the change takes effect immediately.
How do I see all the holograms I've created nearby?
Type /eh near to list every active hologram around your character with their IDs and properties, making it easy to find and edit them.
Do I need to restart the server after changing hologram settings?
No, use /eh reload to refresh theme configurations from disk while the server is running, and changes apply without a restart.
