Are you bored of standard chat broadcast plugins?

HoloBroadcast allows you to broadcast messages as holograms displayed in front of players following their movements.
You can also send private hologram messages to individual players, or display a hologram when specific events are triggered (e.g. when a player joins your server.) It is completely transparent to the PvP and build experiences: you can still hit players and place/break blocks through any hologram.
HoloBroadcast simulates a “Head Up Display” (“HUD” is the type of display that Tony Stark has in his Iron Man helmet) to display holographic messages that stick to the player view even when they turn their head or move.


(special thanks to BGHDDevelopment)

You install HoloBroadcast like any other plugin by simply puting the .jar file in the “plugins” directory of your server.

However, when updating HoloBroadcast please follow the steps below:

1. Backup HoloBroadcast.jar and its config files.
2. Stop your server.
3. Delete HoloBroadcast.jar and its config files from your server.
4. Put the new HoloBroadcast.jar file in your plugins folder.
5. Start your server.
6. HoloBroadcast should be correctly installed and will generate the latest config files. They will have default values so if you want to put your old settings back, copy them from your backup config files.

If you want to install PlaceHolderAPI or MVdWPlaceHolderAPI please follow their respective instructions. Note that HoloBroadcast will perfectly work even without those APIs. They simply add more placeholders to HoloBroadcast.

You can also run HoloBroadcast on a BungeeCord server. Simply follow the same steps!



We have many upgrades in the pipe, which we will release to you as soon as they are ready. Here are a few of our ideas:

• Add the possibility to create static holograms and control who can see them
• More pre-defined animations
• Database support
