RewardHologram 🎁

A Paper +1.21.11 plugin that displays per-player floating reward holograms with bobbing animation, skull rotation, individual reward chances, and cooldowns that persist across server restarts.

✨ Features

• Per-player — each player sees their own hologram, protected from other players
• Bobbing animation — smooth up/down movement with configurable amplitude and speed
• Skull auto-rotation — the hologram's head can spin continuously
• Custom skull — Base64 texture with configurable height and initial angle
• Reward list with chances — each reward has its own probability; use pick to control how many are given
• Hex color support — use &#RRGGBB alongside classic & color codes
• Configurable click type — RIGHT, LEFT, or BOTH per hologram
• Click cooldown — prevents reward spam
• Persistent cooldowns — intervals are respected across server restarts via cooldowns.yml
• No external dependencies — only requires Paper +1.21.11
• Auto cleanup — removes orphaned armor stands on startup and when players disconnect
• Admin commands — manual spawn/remove, live reload and list
