Holograms

It's a simple mod that allows to create of server side holograms with full support for formatting and items. Everything is created on packet level, which means commands or other mods shouldn't break them. Formatting uses PlaceholderAPI's Text Parser for which docs you can find here. It also supports usage of placeholders from Placeholder API.

You can download it from Modrinth or CurseForge.

• item - Displays item (either rotating or static)
• entity - Displays entity
• particle - Displays a particle
• image - Displays an image
• execute - Invisible, clickable element executing commands
• space - Adds space between lines
