1.0.0
Compatibility
Changes
Initial Release
ItemHologram adds a floating name tag above every item dropped on the ground, showing its exact inventory name (including custom names and rarity colors) along with its stack count and a live despawn countdown.
Features
- 🏷️ Shows the item's real inventory display name — custom names, enchanted items, and rarity colors are preserved automatically.
- 🔢 Displays the current stack size next to the name.
- ⏱️ Live countdown to when the item will disappear.
- 🧹 The plugin fully manages item despawn timing itself (like ClearLag) — no need to sync with
spigot.yml. - 🎨 Fully configurable via
config.yml: text size, background transparency/color, vertical offset, view distance, and text format. - ♻️ Holograms automatically clean up on pickup, stacking/merging, or despawn — no leftover entities.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11
- Paper or a Paper fork (Purpur, etc.)
- Java 21
Notes
- Tested on Paper/Purpur 1.21.8; expected to work across the rest of the 1.21.x line thanks to stable Paper API usage.
- Not compatible with vanilla Spigot/CraftBukkit (relies on Paper-only APIs).
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
