You no longer need this plugin with the latest HolographicDisplays 3. Which has placeholders built in. https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/holographic-displays/files/3549616
I have limited time to continue maintaining this. Please see alternatives such as Holographic Placeholders (https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/holographic-placeholders-holoextension.64535/).
Supports 1.8-1.15.1
Implement amazing animations into HolographicDisplays with automated creation of scrollers, typewriters and glowing text!
It also injects your favourite placeholders from PlaceholderAPI (requires ProtocolLib)
Video tutorial by SoulStriker_:
- Simple and effective implementation.
- High quality animation generation.
- A ton of fully customisable animations.
- Easily create scrollers, typewriters, healthbars and more.
- Full colour support + multiline.
- Special character support (unicode)
- Support per player placeholders from PlaceholderAPI
Requirements:
HolographicDisplays (Required)
ProtocolLib (Placeholders)
PlaceholderAPI (Placeholders)
# NOTICE: To use these placeholders, you need PlaceholderAPI and correct extensions..
# /papi ecloud download Player.
# /papi ecloud download Server.
Implementing The Animations:
In the default configuration above, we have an animation called "example", to include this animation in our hologram we use the placeholder "{ext:example}" This rule applies to all animations.
For example, if we have an animation named "welcome-msg", the format for the placeholder would be "{ext:welcome-msg}"
Creating a hologram: '/hd create myHologram {ext:example}'
Implementing Placeholders:
Make sure you have ProtocolLib and PlaceholderAPI before attempting to add placeholders.
To make sure the placeholders update you will need to add refresh holders.
