MasuHolograms

MasuHolograms is a server-side hologram mod for Minecraft Forge 1.18.2. It creates floating text, items, heads, entities, and player NPCs — no client-side mod required. Most line types are rendered via fake entities sent through network packets; player NPC lines use the optional Taterzens mod for real server-side NPCs with automatic skin fetching.

Key Features

  • Fully server-side — clients need no mod installed
  • Multiple line types — text, icons (items), player heads, full entities, and player NPCs (via Taterzens)
  • Multi-page holograms — navigate between pages with click actions
  • Per-player rendering — placeholders, visibility, and permissions are per-player
  • Animation system — file-based, fully customizable JSON animations
  • Click actions — run commands, send messages, teleport, play sounds, and more
  • Placeholder system — dynamic text with player stats, server info, and Vault Hunters integration
  • Color support — legacy codes, hex colors, gradients, and rainbow text
  • Lectern holograms — players can create their own holograms using books and lecterns
  • Damage/healing displays — floating combat numbers
  • Developer API — create and manage holograms programmatically from other mods

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.18.2
  • Forge 40.3.x or higher
  • Java 17
  • Server-side only (no client mod needed)

Optional Dependencies

  • Taterzens — enables #PLAYER: NPC lines with automatic skin fetching
  • Vault Hunters (the_vault) — enables VH stat placeholders and leaderboards
  • LuckPerms — enables granular permission control for all features
