Creating and Customizing Holograms In-Game Without Editing Files

Placing Your First Hologram

Decent Holograms lets you build and personalize floating text displays directly inside the game, so you never have to shut down your server or open external configuration files.

1. Make sure your account has server operator status or the required command permissions so the plugin's commands appear in chat.

2. Walk or fly to the exact spot in your world where you want the floating display to appear, since in-game commands work right from your character's perspective.

3. Press your chat key, type /, and use vanilla tab-completion to locate the Decent Holograms base command and its creation subcommands.

4. Run the creation command to spawn a new hologram, then enter the text you want players to read.

Customizing Options Through Commands

Once your hologram is floating in the world, all adjustments happen through follow-up chat commands rather than text editors.

1. Type the plugin's base command in chat and cycle through the available subcommands with the Tab key to view the customization options.

2. Select the target hologram in the command prompt and apply formatting, extra lines, or layout tweaks one step at a time.

3. Step back a short distance after each command to check spacing, line order, and readability against the surrounding build before moving on.
