HOW TO USE HOLOGRAPHIC DISPLAYS

REQUIREMENTS: Holographic displays

DIFFICULTY: EASY

Introduction to chosen topic

Holographic Displays is a plugin that lets you explore your creativity and add a cool new look to your server! It is very useful when displaying information about how your server works.

 

Creating a hologram:

/hd create name | This command creates a new hologram. The name is set to what you type in the “name” parameter. It will display a default message until you change it.

/hd addline example Hello world | This command edits the displayed message, in this example, it will now display “Hello world”.

/hd removeline example 1 | This command removes a line from your hologram. The “1” specifies which line of the hologram you will remove.

 

Moving a hologram:

/hd movehere name | This command repositions the hologram you specify under the name section. The hologram will be moved to your current location.

 

Deleting a hologram:

/hd delete name | This command deletes the specified hologram.

 

Colors and Formatting

Holograms support standard colors and formatting like most plugins. It also includes an additional color feature, a rainbow effect which can be activated using the tag “&u”.

Here is an example that shows how the formatting works:

 /hd create example &b&lColor Test: &uRainbow

 

Floating items

Another cool feature with holographic displays is the ability to create floating items! By using the format ICON: <material> you can display an item to add an extra look to the hologram. 

Here is an example that would display a diamond:

 /hd create example ICON: diamond.

Using place holders

An additional feature with holographic displays is the ability to display the online player count. This can be done using the following command:
 

/hd create example Player Online: {online}

 

 Some other placeholders that are available are:

{max_player} | Displays the max amount of players able to join the server.

{player}  | Displays the players name

{displayname} | Displays the players displayed name.

{time} | Displays the real world's time. You can change the format and timezone in the configuration.

Just a small edit I'd like to add in for all of those who are wondering how to edit specific lines of holograms.

Editing Holograms

/hd setline <name of hologram> <line> <text> - Sets a specific line for the selected hologram.
Example: /hd setline Example 1 &cHello! - Sets Line 1 of the Hologram named "Example" to "Hello!".
