Minecraft limitations
- Text inside holograms is always facing the player.
- Holograms are always visible through walls.
- Text size cannot be changed. You can make it bold and uppercase to make it look bigger.
- Floating items inside holograms will constantly rotate and bob up and down.
Credits
- Asdjke for the original idea in vanilla.
- bobacadodl for making image support easier with this library.
- samczsun for the Server Pinger library.

We are working on a HolographicDisplays add-on that includes that feature (as well as a few other filters). Probably about a month away.
In reply to SpigotSlimeDog:
That is fantastic! I can’t wait! I need it for my server, so I hope it doesn’t take longer than a month. 🙂
Hey, I was just wondering if it would be possible to implement a command that would darken the background of the holographic displays. I use holographic displays as text to describe the server in the hub, but it’s difficult to read them when there are other holographic displays behind them since they’re transparent.
If this is not possible or feasible, how about a feature that lets you hide holographic displays from each player unless they are within a configurable range of the display?
Would it be possible to implement a command that makes a holographic display not visible in some way from behind? I’m using them for directions, so I want them to only be visible from one side. Since this uses name tags, I’m sure it’s impossible, though.
I love Holographic Display! I’ve got a suggestion, though:
It would be fantastically useful if a new command which lets you change the coordinates of a holographic display were added!
Example syntax:
/hd move <hologramName> [X] [Y] [Z]
Examples:
/hd move testhologram 90 60 140 – Moves the hologram to the coordinates X: 90, Y:60, Z:140.
/hd move testhologram ~ ~4 ~ – Moves the hologram four blocks upwards relative to its position.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed a command like this. Such an addition would be excellent.

Agreed, although there is a pretty expedient workaround, that I use a lot when I'm building:
And there is the additional benefit of easy undo.

Assuming you're having issues with holographicdisplays,
Please visit:
https://ci.codemc.io/job/filoghost/job/HolographicDisplays/
Here, you'll find the most recent updates or changes
The one you have is likely an older version which is not compatible with 1.15
I love this plugin! but it doesn't work at the moment because i just updated my server to 1.15...
Can you please update it to 1.15 soon, i almost depend on it!!
In reply to Forge_User_54104965:
HolographicDisplays Dev builds
What are your plans to update for 1.15?
I am using Minehut and HD does not work.
Thanks
I have a citybuild and want to set premissions to each rank. For example:
Rank1 can create 1 Hologram, Rank2 can create 4 Holograms and Rank3 10 Holograms.
What is the needed permission for that? Tanks
1.15 update???
In reply to Forge_User_47784836:
Looks like the developer is in the process of updating the plugin (look at the development builds, theres one unsuccessful build that was on the 12th)
In reply to Forge_User_47784836:
If you are really needing it switch to the Holograms plugin and use the command "/hologram import holographicdisplays"
... update when?
Will we be seeing a 1.15 release or are you not updating anymore? I imagine it shouldn't have to change too much from the 1.14 version since not a whole lot has changed in the newest update but the current HoloDisplay Plugin doesn't support 1.15 according to my logs.
is it possible to keep the hologram stady, so that it does not turn around when user moves around ?
Is there any way I can make a holographic display that will display the top 10 players on my mcmmo leaderboard?
This would be very cool. Please let me know.
Thanks
In reply to caelenskingdom:
Maybe something like "%leaderboard%" assuming that you already have a leaderboard established? Or maybe "%placeholder:leaderboard%" not sure what the exact code is for this or how you have your leaderboards set up, maybe test a few out to see what works.
