Setting Up Damage and Heal Displays for Combat Feedback

Activating Custom Combat and Recovery Displays

Beyond static floating signs, Decent Holograms includes built-in custom features for Damage Displays and Heal Displays. Instead of making players guess how hard a strike hit or watching hearts refill silently, these features show visual hologram feedback right in the world during combat and recovery.

1. Log into the server with an account that has access to the plugin's management commands.

2. Open your chat bar, type /, and browse the Decent Holograms command list using vanilla tab-completion to find the custom feature options for Damage and Heal Displays.

3. Enable and customize the display options through those in-game commands—just like standard holograms, you do not need to edit external configuration files.

Verifying Both Displays In-Game

After configuring the custom displays, run a quick live test to make sure both combat hits and health recovery appear cleanly to players.

1. Spawn or locate a vanilla mob, such as a zombie or cow, and strike it with a melee weapon or bow to confirm the Damage Display triggers at the point of impact.

2. Take minor fall or mob damage in Survival mode, then eat food or drink a healing potion to restore health and watch for the Heal Display.

3. Check with a regular non-operator player to verify that view permissions allow standard players to see both displays during normal gameplay.
