DisplayAPI

Display API, a library to create holograms on Minecraft servers (1.8.8 ONLY) You must add the API as your project dependencies and add this to plugins folder

Features:

• For now, only 1.8.8 because i'm using some reflections
• You can create a hologram server-side means that every player on the server will see it
• And also a client-side that means you can customize it for every player (e.g money, rank...)
• No blinking for server-side, but some blink on client-side
• Auto refresh
• Using Java 8

TODO:

• Make it no blinking on client-side
• Make it multi-version
• Add ProtocolLib as dependencies for safe-use
• Add Gradle/Maven dependences for this project

Examples:

Initialize the HologramManager on your main class:

HologramManager hologramManager; // Create a field to use on the whole project

@Override
public void onEnable(){
  this.hologramManager = new HologramManager(this); // Initialize the manager
}

@Override
public void onDisable(){
  hologramManager.clear(); // Clear all holograms created on this instance
}

Create a server-side hologram:

// A list of Text for the hologram (dynamics variables)
List<Text> listText = new ArrayList<>();
listText.add(() -> "Hello everyone");
listText.add(() -> "I'm a server-side hologram");

// Create the hologram, if a hologram exist on this location, it will return the hologram on location
hologramManager.createServer(listText, location, refresh);

Create a client-side hologram:

// A list of Text for the hologram (dynamics variables)
List<Text> listText = new ArrayList<>();
listText.add(() -> "Hello " + player.getName());
listText.add(() -> "I'm a client-side hologram");

// Create the hologram for the player only!
hologramManager.createClient(player, listText, location, refresh);

Interact with the hologram:

Hologram hologram = hologramManager.createServer(listText, location, refresh);

// When a player interact on the hologram, you can do somes actions!
hologram.interact(new Action(){
    @Override
    public void execute(Player player){
      player.sendMessage("hi there!");
  }
});

If you have a Hologram object, you can do with the HologramManager:

// Teleport a hologram on new location
hologramManager.teleport(hologram, location);
        
// Get a hologram by using location block
hologramManager.getHologram(location.getBlock());
        
// Remove a hologram
hologramManager.remove(hologram);
