Elite Holograms
by EliteScouter
Elite Holograms creates floating text holograms on a server, and players see them with an unmodified vanilla client.
What it does
Server owners create, manage and customize floating text holograms through in-game commands. The create command takes an optional fixed facing keyword right after the subcommand, and holograms keep their text, position and settings across server restarts because they are saved synchronously during shutdown. Common uses include server info boards, leaderboards, waypoints, shop listings, live statistics, rules and decorative text.
Elite Holograms is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It runs in single-player worlds, modpacks and multiplayer servers alike. Its placeholder system is built in and needs no external placeholder API, so the server can show values such as player count, TPS, uptime, memory and server time, as well as per-player name, rank, health, level, world and coordinates. Placeholders update in real time, including values that differ for each viewer. Ranks come from LuckPerms or FTB Ranks when either is installed, and otherwise the mod uses a fallback permission check.
Key features
Hologram management
Holograms can be created, edited, moved and removed with in-game commands, with no config files to edit by hand.
Rich text formatting
MiniMessage syntax provides gradients, hex colors, rainbow effects and line breaks in hologram text.
Built-in placeholders
A placeholder system shows live server and player values without installing a separate placeholder API.
Persistent holograms
Holograms are saved synchronously on shutdown, so they remain in place after a restart.
Per-viewer values
Placeholders can show different values to each player who looks at a hologram, such as their own health or coordinates.
