Minecraft limitations

- 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.

Posted Feb 25, 2014@tomori_peti That depends on how the file is saved, with Notepad+ + you can save it in UTF8.

Posted Feb 25, 2014@Liger_XT5 The name tags are made with horses, with an age of -1.700.000. The problem is that they're spawned 55 blocks above, so go 55 blocks up from the hologram, and try to break some blocks.

Nice timing, I just edited my post with another suggestion. lol
Found an interesting bug. I presume it's the way my spawn is built.

If I had them one block above the ground, looks fine. Two blocks above ground and they look like they are set with &7.

Posted Feb 25, 2014Suggestion: A way to move said hologram.
Placed my first one and didn't dawn on me it would be in the ground below my feet lol.
Also, would it be possible to have a hologram appear in more than one location? Then when edited, they all be updated at once? Reason I ask, I was thinking of having message at each entrance/exit of my town.
Also, in the description above, you have the removeline info twice. I don't see any difference, unless I'm over looking something.

Posted Feb 24, 2014Mm.. I did the holographic displays with a bit of redstone magic already, but they seem to creep upwards.. tad bit annoying.. lol. along with the fact that I can't do anything too fancy with this setup.. (no color or large pictures)
Can't wait for Bukkit to approve this! :D

Any chance you could link the unapproved file URL to the jar in the comments?
