Fancy Holograms Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first hologram?
Use `/hologram create (name)` to spawn a new hologram at your current location, then use `/hologram edit (name) addLine (text)` to add text to it. You can add multiple lines by running the addLine command multiple times.
Can I make a hologram that shows changing information like player count?
Yes, dynamic holograms can update automatically using the `/hologram edit (hologram) updateTextInterval (seconds)` command to refresh at set intervals. You'll need to configure what information the hologram displays through your server's dynamic text settings.
How do I move a hologram to a different location?
Use `/hologram edit (hologram name) moveTo (x) (y) (z)` to teleport it to exact coordinates, or use `/hologram edit (hologram name) position` to enter positioning mode and adjust it manually.
What does the billboard setting do?
The `/hologram edit (hologram) billboard (center|fixed|horizontal|vertical)` command controls how the hologram rotates to face players: center rotates on all axes, fixed doesn't rotate, horizontal only rotates left/right, and vertical only rotates up/down.
Can I copy a hologram I've already made?
Yes, use `/hologram copy (hologram name) (new name)` to duplicate an existing hologram with all its settings, then edit the copy as needed.
How do I change the size of a hologram?
Use `/hologram edit (hologram name) scale (factor)` to resize it; a factor larger than 1 makes it bigger, smaller than 1 makes it smaller.
Can holograms respond to player clicks or interactions?
Yes, the plugin supports interactive holograms that can trigger actions when players interact with them, useful for creating clickable menus, quest markers, or mini-game starters.
What's the difference between background color and shadow settings?
The `/hologram edit (hologram) background (color)` command adds a colored background behind the text for readability, while `/hologram edit (hologram) shadowRadius` and `shadowStrength` control the text shadow's size and darkness.
Can I link a hologram to an NPC?
Yes, use `/hologram edit (hologram) linkWithNpc (npc name)` to attach a hologram to an NPC so it follows them around.
How do I see all my holograms and manage them?
Use `/hologram list` to view all holograms on your server, `/hologram teleport (name)` to jump to a specific one, and `/hologram remove (hologram name)` to delete one.
