JHolograms

Advanced holograms built on Minecraft's modern Display entities no ProtocolLib, no armor stands, no client mods. JHolograms uses the native TextDisplay, ItemDisplay, and BlockDisplay entities introduced in 1.19.4, giving you crisp, lightweight holograms with full control over text, items, blocks, color, animation, and visibility.

Built for Paper 1.19.4 through 26.x, with optional PlaceholderAPI integration.

Features

• Three line types - stack text, floating items, and floating blocks freely within a single hologram.
• MiniMessage formatting - full <gradient>, <rainbow>, and <#RRGGBB> hex support, plus classic & and &#RRGGBB legacy codes. Use whichever you prefer; both work.
• Per-player text - flag a hologram as per-player and every viewer sees their own copy, with PlaceholderAPI placeholders resolved live for them individually.
• Conditional visibility - show or hide a hologram per player using permission checks, placeholder comparisons (%player_level% >= 10), and && chaining.
• Animation - cycle text through frames on a configurable tick interval, kept perfectly in sync across all viewers.
• Full transform control - set scale, rotation, and position on any line.
• Glow - toggle an entity outline glow with a custom glow color on any line type.
• Text styling - alignment, background color and opacity, text shadow, and see-through rendering.
• Billboard modes - fixed, center, vertical, and horizontal facing.
• Persistent and safe - everything is stored in SQLite, entities never save into your world files, and orphaned holograms left behind by a crash are cleaned up automatically on startup.

Formatting examples

/jh addline spawn <gradient:#3fe0d0:#ffb454>Welcome to Spawn</gradient>
/jh addline spawn <bold><#ffaa00>Limited Offer
/jh addline spawn &7Balance: &a$%vault_eco_balance%

Gradients and hex colors are rendered so they display correctly across the entire 1.19.4–1.21.x range, with no resource pack required.
