About This Library

HologramLib serves as the official display entity framework for modern Minecraft server platforms (versions 1.19.4 through 1.21.8). This library has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of production server environments, supporting Paper, Purpur, and Folia implementations with mandatory PacketEvents dependency integration.

The framework enables developers to implement sophisticated holographic displays, including text-based visualizations, three-dimensional block representations, item displays, automated leaderboard systems, and dynamic content with per-player visibility controls. All implementations utilize packet-based rendering to ensure optimal performance and server stability.

Packet-Based Architecture

Utilizes optimized packet transmission protocols with display entity technology to ensure minimal server resource consumption and maximum rendering efficiency across all supported platforms.

Standards-Compliant Formatting

Full integration with MiniMessage formatting specifications and ItemsAdder emoji rendering system, enabling rich text presentation with comprehensive styling capabilities.

Dynamic Content Management

Provides automated leaderboard generation with pagination support and frame-based animation systems for temporal content presentation.

Enterprise Configuration

Comprehensive customization framework including scaling parameters, shadow rendering, background color specifications, entity attachment protocols, and granular visibility controls.

Technical Specifications

This library operates within strict technical parameters to ensure compatibility and reliability across supported server platforms.

Supported Platforms

Paper: Versions 1.19.4 through 1.21.8
