From SpigotMC

Create futuristic holograms to display text, items and images!

Filoghost has graciously granted us permission to carry forward and support Holographic Displays on Spigot under the new moniker, Illusion - Custom Hologram Creator!

Having personally relied on HolographicDisplays for my servers since 2015, I'm thrilled to embark on this journey of continuing and enhancing this project!
