FAQ

The plugin disables itself on startup

• "Text Displays require Minecraft 1.19.4 or newer" — the text_display entity simply doesn't exist on older versions.
• Missing dependency — install the free PacketEvents plugin; it's required.

A display doesn't appear

Make sure you're within its display-range and in the same world, the display is enabled, and you have its view-permission (if one is set). Run /td info <name> to check everything at a glance.

Clicks do nothing

Clicking needs a hitbox: click-width and click-height must be > 0 (/td clickbox <name> 2 1). Adding your first action sets one automatically. Also check the action's PERMISSION: gate, and remember the 500 ms anti-spam cooldown.

Placeholders show as raw text

Install PlaceholderAPI and the relevant expansion (e.g. /papi ecloud download Player). Without it, %player_name% is shown literally — by design.

Can I copy my DecentHolograms files?

The file format follows the same structure (location string, pages → lines → content, actions), so most hologram files drop in with minimal changes — text-display options like scale and background are additive extras. See File Format.

Performance on a busy server

Lower display-range / update-range and raise update-interval on heavy displays. Static text is sent once per viewer and never again — only placeholder text refreshes, and only when it actually changed for that player.

Does it work with Folia?

Not yet — Folia support is on the roadmap. Spigot and Paper (and Paper forks like Purpur/Pufferfish) are fully supported.
