Broken in 1.16.2
Why when I add it to my Aternos server, it spams the chat with "This game requires 4 people to start" and forces me into some Counter Strike thing?
Tried 1.16.1 works well for me.
Please update for 1.16.1

Wonderful plugin! I am very glad that you are updating it and adding cool features, thanks!
But also I need to find out one thing: How can I put a custom item with a texture from a resourcepack into a hologram? I saw this on one server, I tried to change the durability of the item, but the texture did not appear on it. Help me please
Will the plugin be updated for 1.16.1?
Does anyone else get very frame drops having more than 30 holographic displays? I have 30 holographic displays in a general area for Top Stats and players say they got low frame rates when they view or enter this area.
In reply to xXx_Nard_xXx:
That's a minecraft limitation, it's due to the amount of entities
Pls make a 1.16.1 version
In reply to Forge_User_45778287:
I agree.
Just give them a few days 1.16.1 just kinda came out
Permissions do not work. I have read the full documentation and have the permission holograms.* added. I can run some commands but not all. I have to be opped to use all the commands. It would be nice if you could address this issue.
In reply to RiceLungs:
It would be helpful to know what versions you are running
- Spigot version (not "latest" but an actual version)
- HolographicDisplays (same)
- permissions plugin (same)
Which commands are not working?
Did you test the explicit permissions for those commands?
Spigot 1.16.1
HolographicDisplays 2.4.2
****************************************************************************
Holographic Displays requires the new chat API.
You are probably running CraftBukkit instead of Spigot.

Whenever I run the server, I get this message. Even though I downloaded the file for bukkit. Downloading Translation API doesn't solve the problem. I need a little help.
Is there a discord server for HoloGraphicDisplays?
Pls Help!
