Installation

Initial installation should always be performed first on a test server, in order to verify configuration and results. We strongly recommend saving a server backup before proceeding.

• Verify that your server is running a compatible version of Spigot or Paper. See Version Support.
• Update HolographicDisplays to a compatible version. See Version Support.
• Review the release documentation to identify configuration or message changes.
• Download the latest pHD jar file.
• Stop the server.
• Remove any previous pHD jar file.
• Move the new pHD jar file into the plugins/ directory.
• If the first pHD install
  • Start the server to generate the default configuration and message files.
  • Stop the server.
• We recommend SQLITE data storage for performance. If SQLITE is not installed on your server, or if you prefer YAML data storage, edit the configuration file to use YAML

  storage-type: YAML

• Edit the configuration file to suit your needs. If configuration changes are listed in the release documentation, make appropriate changes to the existing configuration file. See Configuration.
• Edit the messages file to change any messages you choose, or localize to a different language. If message changes are listed in the release documentation, make appropriate changes to the existing messages file. See Localization.
