Simple Holograms

Simple Holograms creates floating text, item displays and personal pages in Minecraft. Create welcome signs, rules boards and announcements using the inventory editor or commands.

Create welcome signs, rules boards and announcements. Player placeholders resolve for each viewer.

Use colour codes or MiniMessage, per-line styles, scale, backgrounds, spacing and wrapping.

Mix text with item or block display lines, copy held-item metadata and rotate displayed items.

Each player has their own page. Right-click actions can turn pages; other actions can send messages, play sounds and run configured commands.

Manage Text, Appearance, Visibility, Animation and Interactions through an inventory menu. Right click settings to restore defaults.

Preview and edit eight templates: Welcome, Rules, Location, Server Status, Announcement, Event, Item Showcase and Information.

Other tools

Text can use typewriter, rainbow, fade and floating effects, or alternate between message frames. Visibility can depend on permissions, conditions, distance, line of sight, viewing direction or a schedule. Personal pages and language-based translations control what each viewer reads.

Admin tools include duplication, precise positioning, layout import/export, undo, deleted-hologram recovery and visibility diagnostics. Configure defaults, messages, refresh rates and display limits. Players can hide holograms or disable their own animations.

PlaceholderAPI is optional. External placeholders require the relevant expansions.

Install and create a hologram

Put the plugin JAR in your stopped Paper server's plugins folder, then start the server. Join as an operator or with the required permissions. Run /holo to open the editor, or try:

/holo template create welcome lobby
/holo menu lobby

To write your own text, use /holo create welcome &bWelcome!|Hello %player%!. The | character starts a new line. /holo help lists the commands.

Players do not need a client mod. Custom font assets need a matching resource pack. Proxy transfer actions need a compatible, configured proxy.
