Restricting Hologram Visibility with View Permissions

Choosing Whole-Hologram or Single-Line Restrictions

Decent Holograms supports view permissions at two separate levels: you can hide an entire hologram from unauthorized players, or keep the hologram public while restricting only specific individual lines inside it.

• Whole-hologram permissions work well for staff-only notice boards, restricted portals, or private room labels that regular visitors do not need to see at all.
• Individual-line permissions let you maintain a single shared display at spawn where everyone sees the main announcement, while ranked or staff players see extra lines appended to the same hologram.

Applying and Testing View Permissions

Because everything in the plugin is managed without editing configuration files, you can assign visibility requirements directly in-game and link them to your server's permission setup.

1. Open chat and use tab-completion on the plugin's commands to select either the target hologram as a whole or the specific individual line you want to lock.

2. Assign a view permission string to that hologram or line through the command options.

3. Grant that matching permission to the intended player group or account using your server's permission management commands.

4. Test the result with a non-operator account—remember that vanilla server operators bypass standard permission checks and will still see restricted holograms and hidden lines.
