Welcome to the Elite Holograms Wiki

Elite Holograms is a lightweight yet powerful Minecraft mod for creating, managing, and customizing floating text displays (holograms) right from in-game commands. Use it for server info, leaderboards, waypoints, shops, live stats, rules, and decorative text.

It works in single-player worlds, modpacks, and on multiplayer servers. The mod runs server-side, so on a server your players join with a vanilla client and still see everything. No client mod and no external placeholder API are required.

Inspired by Advanced Holograms, Elite Holograms targets Forge (1.19.2, 1.20.1) and NeoForge (1.21.1, 26.1.2).

Key Features

  • Persistent Holograms: Create holograms that stay loaded across restarts with safe, synchronous saves on shutdown.
  • Rich Text Formatting: MiniMessage gradients, hex colors, and rainbows on every line, plus legacy & color codes.
  • Built-in Placeholders: Real-time server and player information with no external API.
  • Scoreboard Leaderboards: Show the top players from any objective, with named themes for styling.
  • Item Holograms: Display a floating item above your text, ideal for shops and showcases.
  • Animated Lines: Cycle a line through multiple frames on a timer.
  • Backlights: Light up a hologram at night without overwriting the surrounding build.
  • Advanced Permissions: LuckPerms and FTB Ranks support, with OP level 2 fallback.
  • Tab Completion Everywhere: Brigadier suggestions for IDs, objectives, themes, and parameters.
  • Performance Optimized: Runs on its own manager thread with graceful shutdown and minimal overhead.
