This extensive API is designed to provide you with the easiest, most feature packed resources for creating and managing your own holograms.

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.
Plugins Using HoloAPI

@robotnikthingy I've added it to the todo list and will consider it :).
@19990801RAP_ %name% and %world% can be used in Touchscreen hologram command functions.
PLEASE IMPLEMENT @P ect...
please allow the touch functionality like cmd blocks so i can get it do do stuff to the player as when i try and get it to do /kitpvpgui which is added by chestcommands (a menu) it dosent pass it to the player.
@XD_3VIL_M0NKEY
Jesus Christ man, and people wonder why so many great projects have moved to Spigot.
Can you add support for crackshot for indicators?
Because when you shoot things with a crackshot gun, it shows the wrong damage dealt. The Crackshot plugin has an API which should allow you to do this
@XD_3VIL_M0NKEY Whether Spigot is 'supported' or not, that doesn't make a difference in that particular stacktrace. We have also been working towards MCPC+ support too ;).
@erdrickk
I can confirm this bug on 1.7.5 #3042
@erdrickk What version is your server running?
Build 264 has this error
http://pastebin.com/y71kk16D
@erdrickk Try using a development build. We messed up something in regards to compatibility with 1.7.8.
I'm getting this error with Holo 1.2.0
http://pastebin.com/XyZYF0X2
@samueli5750 Install http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/microjump/ It allows plugins to access /server from inside bukkit.
nice!
Hey guys,
i got a crash after restarting my server
http://pastebin.com/46JP1YyG
My Server has 6GB Ram. So i don't think my server hasn't enough RAM.
Is it possible to add command for bungeecord server? likes /server lobby
@Semixd We can't do anything to fix that, sorry :(.
@matagin Nope, it works perfectly fine on a wide range of versions.
Is HoloAPI broken in 1.7.5?
Have an issue with Text Color o_O
its kinda get some "shadow" or something like this
Screen
in some places colors/white is grey or black :/ dont know why that happens
@Trace69 We are still working on full support for 1.6.
@Bars96 I don't think holograms are possible in versions before 1.6.x, sorry :(.
@XiProbaseballX @CaptainBern is hard at work on this too ;D.
