How To Holographic Displays – Minecraft Plugin Tutorial

Hey guys what’s up i hope you’re all doing well today i’m back with another tutorial and this time it’s holographic displays and basically this plugin lets you create holograms like the ones behind me i’ve made a video a bit like this before which was how to create holograms in vanilla minecraft only

Using command blocks so uh if you’re all into that if you want to create a server without plugins and all vanilla then go check that one out it’s in the description and nothing more to say let’s jump right into it so the first command you want to do is

Holo you can do holo you can do hologram you can do whatever but this basically tells you what version of holographic displays that you’re running and also tells you that you can do slash hollow health so let’s do that slash hollow help and this basically shows you all the commands

Within the plugin which is very useful if you forgot what i told you um and most of this is very self-explanatory but if you hover your mouse over it it also explains what each command does so that’s very nice anyway let’s uh let’s try to make one so in order to

Create a hologram you need to be standing where you want your hologram to be so let’s just uh let’s put one here then you do slash hollow create then the name of your hologram which i’m gonna name hello and then what the hologram is actually gonna say and you can use color

Codes in this as well so i’m gonna use some color codes in this one uh you can google it like minecraft color codes and you will find all the color codes but i i know most of them in my head because i’m such a big brain yeah um so let’s just do

Hello world actually let’s make it bold as well so this one will now say hello world now you can do a command that’s called holo edit hello which basically shows you all the commands that you can use in order to edit a hologram but yeah you can also do hollow

Add line to add a line and then of course the holograms name and then whatever you want the next line to say so we we can whack in another hello and now after you’ve done that it will actually come up with a message where it shows you some things that you can do

Which makes it very easy so you can click on these if you want to add a line for example hello too um you can also remove a line then you click on the remove or you type slash holo remove line hello and then the number of the line

That you want to remove so let’s say we want to remove that hello 2 right there then we type 3 in because that’s the third line then we click enter and it removes it very very nice stuff you can set a line which basically lets you edit an already existing line

So uh let’s edit line number two which just says hello at the moment and we’ll uh make it say um hey instead um another useful command is that you can do hollow list which basically lists all the holograms that you have on your server and shows you the the coordinates of

Of where they are you can also do holo move here and then it moves the hologram to where you are standing that’s a very useful one too now that is pretty much it i mean there’s uh it’s pretty straightforward this plug-in but i want to show you one more thing that

You can do and that is if you look at this one over here it has a little animation to it and i’m gonna show you how to do that but in order to do that we’ll go into the uh the config of the plugin so i am using

Mine hud to run my service and this is how you do on minehart it might be a little different with other hosts but it’s kind of the same you just gotta find the plugin folder which in my case is in file manager and then if you scroll down

It has plugins here so you gotta you gotta find that one then you gotta click on it and you gotta find the one that says holographic displays and then we’ll open that one as well and then we have all our files here for the holographic displays um for example we have the config.yml

Which basically lets you edit a whole bunch of things um within the plugin you can take a look at that yourself we also have the database which basically has all the data of the locations of all the uh the holograms that you have but but we’re not going to talk about

Any of these we’re going to talk about the animations one see i have already created one but let’s just create a new one so you guys can see how it works so basically what you want to do is you want to create a new file and then you want to name it whatever

The animation should be named we just do a nice hello and dot text that’s very important and then when you’ve done that you can click on it and it’s just an empty file of course because we just created it but the first thing you want to type in is speed and that is

How fast the animation is gonna run i like 0.5 i i that’s a good one for me that’s the one that the already existing one that i have made is running at and then you basically just type in what you want the animation to be

So uh if you want it to say hello oh hello actually let’s do a thing where it spells it out so we can do h and h e and h e l and so on and then we can let it run with the whole one for a few frames

And then we can go back to it going like that and that is that’s a pretty good animation i reckon you can also do color codes in here and everything that’s fine but um that’s our animation for now then you just click save and then we go back into our game

And the first thing you want to do when you uh have made an animation is you want to do slash holo reload so now the animation should work so let’s try this let’s just edit one of the lines in our hello world so we go slash hollow set line

Oh um then the holograms name and then let’s do the second line and then you want to type a bracket like this and then you want to type animation pollen and then your animation’s name which was uh hello i believe dot text and another bracket and that was absolutely wrong and i

Think it that is because we forgot to make the h big yes so yeah you can see it it does the animation um we can make it faster we can make it slower we can make it do whatever we want it to do let’s just go back in here and let’s

Just try to make it like really fast the higher the value the slower it gets so if you change it to two it’s going to be slow if you change it to 0.1 then it’s going to be faster so let’s try a bit faster then you go back in

You go hollow reload and look how fast it is now damn it’s running fast but yeah i that’s pretty much it actually there’s probably some more stuff you can do with this that i haven’t covered but i i mean it everything is pretty straightforward i tried to

To figure out yourself it won’t be that hard but of course if you need help you can join my discord channel link in the description and ask for help there and anyway that’s pretty much it for today’s video i hope you guys enjoyed if you did
