Quick Start Guide

This guide walks you through creating your first hologram in under a minute.

Creating Your First Hologram

Step 1: Create a hologram

Stand where you want the hologram to appear and run:

/mh hologram create welcome

This creates a hologram named welcome at your position with a default "Blank Line" text.

Step 2: Set the first line

/mh line set welcome 1 1 &6Welcome to the Server!

This sets page 1, line 1 to golden "Welcome to the Server!" text.

Step 3: Add more lines

/mh line add welcome 1 &7Online: &a{online}&7/&a{max_players}
/mh line add welcome 1 &7TPS: &a{tps}

Now your hologram shows a welcome message with live player count and TPS.

Step 4: View your hologram

Walk a few blocks away and back. You should see floating text in the air. The placeholders ({online}, {max_players}, {tps}) update automatically every second.

Adding an Icon Line

Add a diamond icon above your text:

/mh line insert welcome 1 1 #ICON:DIAMOND

This inserts a floating diamond item at line 1, pushing existing lines down.

Adding a Player Head

/mh line add welcome 1 #HEAD:Steve

This adds Steve's player head at the bottom of the hologram. Use any player name — the mod fetches the skin from Mojang's API.

Multi-Page Hologram

Add a second page

/mh page add welcome &bThis is page 2!

Add click navigation

/mh page addaction welcome 1 RIGHT NEXT_PAGE
/mh page addaction welcome 2 RIGHT PREV_PAGE

Now right-clicking the hologram cycles between pages.

Adding Colors

MasuHolograms supports several color formats:

/mh line set welcome 1 1 &cRed &aGreen &9Blue
/mh line set welcome 1 1 &#FF5533Custom Hex Color
/mh line set welcome 1 1 <GRADIENT:FF0000>Gradient Text</GRADIENT:0000FF>
/mh line set welcome 1 1 <RAINBOW>Rainbow Text</RAINBOW>

Adding Animations

/mh line set welcome 1 1 {#ANIM:typewriter}&6Welcome to the Server!{/#ANIM}

The text now types itself out letter by letter, then resets.
