Version 3.0.0 🎉

Spigot compatibility: from Spigot 1.8.4 to 1.19.2

Holographic Displays v3 includes new features, a new developer API, extensive code refactoring and internal optimizations. Some configuration files have changed, a backup folder will be created (named "old-files") and they will be automatically updated to the new format.

The plugin has been tested, but there are many internal changes and bugs are expected. Please report them on the issue tracker.

Changes in v3.0.0

• + Added support for Minecraft up to 1.19.2.
• + Now uses packets instead of real entities. ProtocolLib is no longer required for individual placeholders (such as {player}) and the VisibilityManager API (for developers).
• + PlaceholderAPI support (e.g.: {papi: player_name}). Backslash (\) can be used to escape curly braces ({ and }) inside complex placeholders, example:  {papi: math_\{bungee_lobby1\}+\{bungee_lobby2\}}.
• + Holograms can now be in unloaded worlds, they are loaded dynamically with the worlds.
• + Added new developer API. It's not required to update for now, the v2 API will be maintained for a few years.
• * Changed permissions:
  • Commands now require the permission holographicdisplays.command.<subCommandName> (previously holograms.<subCommandName>).
  • Update notification now requires the permission holographicdisplays.update (previously holograms.update).
• * The rainbow color &u has been replaced with {rainbow} (the old format is still working for now).
• * Increased maximum text length of hologram lines.
• * Files format changes (files are updated automatically and a backup folder named "old-files" is generated):
  • In config.yml, the section images and its values have been renamed and combined.
  • symbols.yml has been converted to custom-placeholders.yml and uses a different format.
  • Animations are now YAML files and use a different format.
  • database.yml format has been changed.
• - Removed support for some outdated minor versions:
  • Spigot 1.8 to 1.8.3 (supported versions: 1.8.4 to 1.8.9)
  • Spigot 1.9 to 1.9.3 (supported version: 1.9.4)
  • Spigot 1.13 (supported version: 1.13.1)
• - Disabled v1 API (deprecated since 2014): plugins still using it will encounter errors.
