Holograms that move and shine

Every line styles itself. Mix sizes, models and motion in one stack.

• Any size, per line: One line bigger, the next one small. The stack makes room.
• Blocks, items and heads: Floating models between text lines, with a glow outline.
• Spin, bob and pulse: The client animates it: two packets a second, not twenty.
• Shine and typewriter: A light sweeps over titles, gradients run, text types itself in.
• Lines for some players: By distance, permission or placeholder. Each viewer gets their own stack.
• Pages per player: Each player turns their own page, by click or on a timer.

Nothing is a real entity. Nothing ticks.

Holograms and NPCs are packets: nothing is saved in chunks, nothing runs on the server.

What players see

Lines of every size: A spinning block, a big shining title, small lines below.

NPCs that speak: A bubble typed in for the player who clicked.

A cast of NPCs: Labels, poses, gear and glow, each its own.

32 tags, on any line

Stack them at the start of a hologram line or an NPC label.

• Look: Size, Opacity, Background, Shadow, Brightness, See-through
• Models: Item, Block, Head, Glow
• Layout: Gap, Align, Width, Billboard, Autoscale
• Motion: Spin, Sway, Bob, Pulse
• Effects: Shine, Flow, Rainbow, Frames, Marquee, Fade, Blink, Typewriter, Scramble
• Who sees it: Range, Permission, Condition
• Clicks: Button

NPCs with a personality

• Speech bubbles: A bubble above the NPC that only the clicking player sees.
• Mirror skin: One NPC shows every player their own skin.
• Looks at each of you: Every viewer sees the NPC turn its head toward them.
• Send to a server: One click moves the player across BungeeCord or Velocity.
• Labels are holograms: Sizes, shine and conditions on the name. Clicking it clicks the NPC.
• Pose, scale and gear: Five poses, any scale, a glow colour and six equipment slots.

From Blockbench to a living NPC

Whole-body animations in the NPC's real skin. No MineSkin key, no resource pack.

• Drop in a .bbmodel: The Blockbench project plays as is, no export. Classic and slim templates ship.
• Real skins, no MineSkin: Any account's skin, pixel for pixel, with no API key, quota or upload step.
• Idles that never stop: A loop plays while someone is near, gives way to a click, then picks up again.
• Clicks that perform: A left or right click plays a dance, a bow or a wave, beside its commands.
• Groups on one clock: Start a whole group together, at one tempo, and keep their idles in step.
• Pause, stop, resume: Freeze one NPC or a whole group from a command or the editor.

Same click lines for both

Left and right clicks can do different things, on holograms and NPCs alike.

• [SAY]: A speech bubble, typed in letter by letter.
• [SERVER]: Sends the player to another server.
• [TELEPORT]: Moves the player to any world and spot.
• [DELAY]: Waits before the next lines run.
• [PAGE]: Turns the page for that player alone.
• [ANIMATE]: The NPC swings an arm or flinches.
• [LOOK]: The NPC turns to whoever clicked.
• Commands: As the player, the console or the proxy.

In game or in the browser

The lines screen: Click a line to edit, shift-click to move it.

One window per line: Size, motion and visibility together.

The NPC editor: Skin, gear, label, clicks, visibility, place.

The web editor: Holograms with a live preview, NPCs as a form. One command brings it back.

Four ways in, always in sync

1. In game: Screens and native dialog windows, from a preset.
2. By command: /holo and /npc change any setting, line by line.
3. In the browser: /displays editor: a live preview, saved back with one command.
4. By hand: Save holograms.yml or npcs.yml and it applies at once.
