I agree.

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.
This plugin has been disabled.

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!

Hi, is it normal that the &m (to strike) doesn't work ? We can't do perfect line :/
In reply to Forge_User_88443327:
It works fine for me on Spigot 1.15.2 with HD 2.4.2-b121 (and no reason to think it won't work with previous versions). Perhaps you could post your versions and the relevant section of your database.db, so someone can try to help.
In reply to SpigotSlimeDog:
I'm on spigot 1.12.2 and my database is :
infocaisse:
location: world, -1171.440, 122.200, -120.505
lines:
- '&mdd-----+-+-|-+-+-----'
- '&7&m--------'
I tried to put the &m but it does not work
In reply to Forge_User_88443327:
What does "doesn't work" mean? It looks exactly as I would expect, given that input. What do you want it to look like?
If you are trying to get a line, without the hyphens (dashes), substitute blank spaces for the dashes.
In reply to SpigotSlimeDog:
I want to have a perfect line with graduations (using + and | ). When i say that the &m doesn't work, I mean that is the same result if I use it and if I don't use it. It doesn't modify the text at all, it's like if it's not used.
In reply to Forge_User_88443327:
> I want to have a perfect line with graduations (using + and | ).
That isn't possible in most fonts, and changing fonts in MC isn't trivial. The problem is that strike-out (&m) does not vertically align with plus (+) or hyphen (-). That is not the fault of HolographicDisplays, but of font design/implementation.
In reply to SpigotSlimeDog:
It perfectly works on scoreboard or differents lores but not in holographic displays, i can't do perfect lines
In reply to Forge_User_88443327:
I am on Spigot 1.15.2, so I cannot compare directly with what you are seeing. But my lore and scoreboards and holograms appear to use the same font (and therefore all have the same issue), with either forced UniCode font and not. I do not know how you are seeing different fonts for different object types.
