It would be nice to have a final release of 3.0.0, though.

I compiled Jazzkuh's 1.19 pull request. Pinned in #drplugins of the Birdflop Discord if anyone wants it.

EDIT: Download from here for a more updated version https://ci.codemc.io/job/filoghost/job/HolographicDisplays/

I have created an account only in Bukkit to say that do not waste your time with this plugin, it goes fatal all the time throwing task exceptions, it goes bad performance according to the timings and spark, I have removed it from my 8 servers and I have put DecentHolograms, without a doubt that Holograms plugin is the best, very good support and optimized, also has command to import the holograms from HolographicDisplay to DecentHolograms, it does not consume anything, in a short time it will eat HolographicDisplay.

In reply to imSKJOL:

That's funny - I just resurrected my account which I haven't used for at least 3 years BEFORE twitch/curse even thought of somehow acquiring Bukkit.org *JUST* to say your clearly someone who can't follow simple procedures.

I have been using this plugin *literally* forever, like 1.7.2 I think?? Maybe 1.6.4?? IDK - Yeah, it *does* break with many updates, and yeah it is patched/fixed soon after. This is expected behavior IMO for any kind of plugin that pushes the abilities of the game far beyond what it is meant for.

If you have been running the most recent version(s) for your minecraft install, except maybe week 0 of a major release, this should work for you, period. No frequent crashes, no issues. If it's not, that is really on you, not this plugin.

What's worse, if you aren't FROM that other project, regardless of it's abilities *YOU* are making *them* look like crap by coming here to sling shade like you did. No one is going to read your post and be all like, "Dude I'ma go check that one out" - What their thinking is "Dude how desperate is that other plugin to come here slingin' shade making themselves look like crap". Hope you're proud of your accomplishment. Might want to do 'your' project some help and delete your post.

...and no, I'm not a Holo fanboy - I do use the plugin, it's very handy and I've had no probs with it as mentioned. You will not see my IP/account associated with anything but the download area (lol) and now this post standing up for a good product. Good day to you.
