HoloAPI
An advanced and powerful holographic display plugin
Features
With the discovery of new hologram technology (as seen in the video below), HoloAPI is designed to bring you a seamless experience in holographic display creation through the powerful command base and API.
Providing advanced Hologram Technology for your Bukkit server, HoloAPI has the following features (and more!):
Easily manage your own holographic displays | |
Create Holographic displays with images, animations (GIFs) and multi-line text | |
Allows developers to create and manage their own holographic displays through the extensive API | |
Holographic chat bubbles (captions) that show chat messages above the speaker'a head | |
Animated text support | |
Automatic UTF-8 character formatting and replacing | |
Super smooth Animated Holograms and hologram teleportation! | |
Automatic tag replacement e.g. "Hello there %name%!" (Where name is replaced with the observer's name) | |
Holographic chat bubbles with in-built support for VanishNoPacket | |
TouchScreen Holograms with an extensive and easy to use API | |
Floating Item displays with easy to use tags - %item:id% | |
BungeeCord support for TouchScreen holograms and online count placeholders | |
Supports Bukkit from 1.6.4 through to 1.7.9 and MCPC+ 1.6.4 |
Stay up to date and make sure you have the latest version of HoloAPI!
This extensive API is designed to provide you with the easiest, most feature packed resources for creating and managing your own holograms.
HoloAPI also uses intelligent image-translation technology (thanks to @bobacadodl) to transform ordinary images into futuristic holograms that can enhance your server in ways that you have never imagined.

Configuration
Metrics
Metrics is used to collect plugin statistics. Only data such as plugin version and players online is collected. If you do not wish for this data to be collected, disable it in the 'Plugin Metrics' folder of your 'plugins' directory.
Update Checking
HoloAPI comes with an auto-updater to save you, as a server owner, from continually checking this page for new files. It simply connects to dev.bukkit.org and compares the versions of available files. If you do not wish for HoloAPI to perform this check, navigate to the Configuration File (config.yml) in the HoloAPI directory of your plugins folder and change "checkForUpdates" and "autoUpdate" to "false". The first value disables the version comparison altogether and the second updates the plugin automatically if new files are detected.

In reply to Forge_User_30840893:
Just so you know, this plugin hasn't been actively developed since 2014. I have plans to update the plugin, however I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon.
I want to create a 'Damage Indicator' using HoloAPI. What should I do?
How i use the Developer Api?!?
i use this class
https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/class-holograms-in-1-8.40625/
i have add external Jar add the holoapi plugin.
but i cant create my own Holo.
Hey there, so whenever I type "Done" after choosing the lines it kicks me out. It doesn't crash or anything, but it just kicks me out for no reason... Why is this?
@jeffrey1607
I'm getting a similar issue; except my whole client crashes. http://pastebin.com/xNhuEAsw
hello, i did /holo create then i put some text but if i do ''Done'' the server kicks me and no text is there.. could someone help me? thnx
@kitzmaan75350
You can use Holographic displays
please update
@xcoudGaming
Same thing, is this a version issue?
Has conflict with Spigot 1.7.10 + 1.8, as I type in my client /holo help, it adds a message saying: "And error has occured upon processing command"
I saw on the console, it cannot find something, or doesnt know a variable.
Maven is not working :<<<
Could you impliment a radius view for the displays? so an option in the config that will allow a radius to be set. if a holo display is not within that radius of a player it wont be visible to them? Otherwise this plugin is great. Only downside is you see it through all walls.
Hi! I downloaded the HoloAPI plugin and I can't get it to work. I tried "/holo create", then I put in a few words, then I did it again for the second line, and then I typed "Done" and the next thing it did was log me out of the server. Please help!
@dirtyequi
People has a life
I get this error spammed in the console with tha latest Spigot build First start: http://pastebin.com/TADEyUD5 On player Join: http://pastebin.com/8mrwgh3p I hope this plugin will be continued. :/
@dirtyequi
from what i can tell this project is not abandoned as you say. he has a lot on his plate. http://ci.dsh105.com/ here is his build server his last build for this plugin was on the 24th but for me it is not bug free yet. give him time and i feel we will have an official post soon.
@TMGaming
i used this plugin on my old server and it used the wither skulls at that time. betting it will still use them when it is fully updated.
Does this use the invisible horse glitch?
Project is abandoned. Maintainers do not respond in IRC, neither email nor here.
