With the discovery of new hologram technology (as seen in the video below), HoloAPI is designed to bring you a seamless experience in holographic display creation through the powerful command base and API.
Providing advanced Hologram Technology for your Bukkit server, HoloAPI has the following features (and more!):
Easily manage your own holographic displays
Create Holographic displays with images, animations (GIFs) and multi-line text
Allows developers to create and manage their own holographic displays through the extensive API
Holographic chat bubbles (captions) that show chat messages above the speaker'a head
Animated text support
Automatic UTF-8 character formatting and replacing
Super smooth Animated Holograms and hologram teleportation!
Automatic tag replacement e.g. "Hello there %name%!" (Where name is replaced with the observer's name)
Holographic chat bubbles with in-built support for VanishNoPacket
TouchScreen Holograms with an extensive and easy to use API
Floating Item displays with easy to use tags - %item:id%
BungeeCord support for TouchScreen holograms and online count placeholders
Supports Bukkit from 1.6.4 through to 1.7.9 and MCPC+ 1.6.4
This extensive API is designed to provide you with the easiest, most feature packed resources for creating and managing your own holograms.
HoloAPI also uses intelligent image-translation technology (thanks to @bobacadodl) to transform ordinary images into futuristic holograms that can enhance your server in ways that you have never imagined.
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk.

Command
Permission
Description
/holo touch add <id> <command>
holoapi.holo.touch.add
Add an action for a certain hologram to perform when touched. Actions defined without the use of the API (through this command) may only be commands. The `%name%` placeholder can be used to define the user that touched the hologram. Commands can be more than one word.

holoapi.holo.touch.add
Same functionality as `/holo touch add <command>`. `<as_console>` defines whether the action is performed by the console or the player that touched the hologram

Metrics is used to collect plugin statistics. Only data such as plugin version and players online is collected. If you do not wish for this data to be collected, disable it in the 'Plugin Metrics' folder of your 'plugins' directory.
Update Checking
HoloAPI comes with an auto-updater to save you, as a server owner, from continually checking this page for new files. It simply connects to dev.bukkit.org and compares the versions of available files. If you do not wish for HoloAPI to perform this check, navigate to the Configuration File (config.yml) in the HoloAPI directory of your plugins folder and change "checkForUpdates" and "autoUpdate" to "false". The first value disables the version comparison altogether and the second updates the plugin automatically if new files are detected.
