DecentHolograms - line wont update for groups
Plugin name: DecentHolograms
I've created a hologram line, which is only visible to players having the right permission, but for some reason the line wont update, so whenever the player's group is changed, the line would still appear, unless the plugin is reloaded (or the hologram page). This should work automatically.This stuff has gone unresolved for me for a while now, because there aren't that many things to look at when troubleshooting it, it just doesn't work for some reason...

Try using holographic displays instead of decent holograms. It's far more stable and works with the latest minecraft server versions and also supports PAPI.
It wont work while DecentHolograms are enabled, right?
Normally it should work with both plugins on same server at same time
[HolographicDisplays] Fatal error while enabling the plugin. Check previous logs for more information.
no support for 1.20 mby?try placing decentholograms plugin (.jar) outside the plugins folder
and start the server again
actually, its not being worked on anymore
it is
for latest minecraft version support
but not for new features
No, im reading reviews, legit it doesnt work above 1.19.4
They still need to update it I see...
any... other hologram plugins? because as far as i see, decent holograms are the best out there atm
decentholograms is great, but this ONE thing is bugging me
There is fancy holograms, you can try it out since some people really like it. Beware it's a new plugin that may contain some bugs. It's worth to give it a try.

Fancy Holograms
Ill give it a shot
seems promising
Cool let me know if it works and fixes the bugs decent holograms has
idk whats up but fancyholograms just has wayy better features that we would actually use
the plugin looks really cool
The thing why i use holographic displays is because I run a bungee-proxy based network with a bunch of backend servers. This way I just update the minecraft version where needed (specific minigames). For the hub (the place where I use the holograms) I don't feel the need to upgrade unless the plugins are updated to 1.20 (or later).
Edit: typo
Edit 2: extra clarification
Happy to hear 🙂
It might be a bug with decent holograms. Don't forget to send them a bug report (with logs if applicable) on their github page.
This way they can work on their plugin and fix their bugs.
I dont see that i can assign permission to a line though
or the hologram itself
yeah that's true
then it defeats the whole purpouse of what i need
broooooo
;-;
Am i ever going to figure this out?
probably not until the maintenance mode is revoked
Make a bungee based network
im talking about fancy holograms
like descibed here https://discord.com/channels/348681414260293634/1125387029778268200/1125392158543851661
It helps a lot with plugin compatibility
and is way more modular to work with
I recommend looking into Waterfall and velocity proxy, both developed by papermc team
who made paper
Thats seems like a far leap for a simple thing
I think 1.20 has issues
huh?
You can downgrade the minecraft versions for each backend server for the plugins you need to have working
That does seem like a far leap for a simple thing
it is but I had lots of issues when making like 8 minigames on same server
lots of compatibility errors between plugins
well he isn't trying to do that right now
true
only option is
to wait
or
downgrade minecraft version
or
bungee based network
not sure if downgrading the minecraft version changes anything related to permissions?
You never know if you don't try it. Make a dummy local server on you home pc to test it out, if you can.
1. I'd much rather go with Velocity
2. Not needed. Just because you were trying to make multiple minigames with multiple plugins on one server and had issues doesn't mean he has issues with 1 plugin on 1 server
Velocity hasn't got good plugin support for bungee based plugins. And lots of developers rather choose to develop for bungee instead for velocity for now.
Velocity and bungee-based proxies are 2 different projects
lots of plugins don't work on velocity
I speak from experience
For overall compatibility with most minecraft versions I recommend waterfall proxy
how did we get to talking about velocity?
and good plugin compatibility
im having a hologram problem guys 😄
well to fix simple problems that can occur anytime with each big minecraft update
it's more like a prevention of errors and incompatibilities for future occurances
@Bambizo well the only option you would have is to wait till the maintenance note is gone, or ask someone who is willing to help you who is well-versed on the matter
or downgrade minecraft version
or build bungee/velocity based network
please know that the plugin is still being updated to support latest versions, it's just new features that they aren't going to take the time to add
As of now the plugin has full support for 1.20.X, and if you find a feature that doesn't, then it is definitely a bug and you can report it on their Discord server or the github issue tracker page
I know that's why while you're waiting on update you can still stay on previous versions using a bungee/velocity based network
Yeah, make sure to report those nasty bugs
Blame minecraft updates
they destroy everything
For specific minigames you can update minecraft since you don't really need to use holograms on each minigame
But it depends if the bug still occurs in older versions
That was for you. All aspects of plugin is skillfully updated to support later versions. Some just may not work, I'm trying to tell you that Minecraft versions has nothing to do with this issue as far as I'm aware
And no don't blame minecraft updates, the game would be dead if not for them
And uhh you can still stay on previous versions because you can simply downgrade the jar file, and maybe have a backup of the worlds. That's it. Well-made plugins will update their configuration themselves or the bukkit/spigot/paper api/maybe even the plugin itself will warn us about stuff that don't exist in the downgraded version
It depends on what you want to achieve. Some minigames plugins only work on some versions of minecraft and won't work on newer versions. If you have let's say Paintball for v1.12 only and a survival server that you want to always be available on the latest minecraft versions, a bungee/velocity based network is a blessing. Even hub doesn't need to be latest version since you won't play minigames on it.
It really depends on your needs as server/network admin.
Bugs can happen anytime with minecraft versions updates, afaik. It depends on what they changed in their code and stuff. Minecraft is a proprietary game with proprietary code. We got no way to know how to fix bugs by looking at the code (since we don't have access to it), but we can fix those problems by studying its behavior.
Anyhow, in conclusion, use the best tool for the job, as they say.
You know what
fuck it
what is command block doing lol?
dh hologram update portal...
What? since the plugin wont update on its own, sometimes a simple technique could work better
Is there some option in config file of decent holograms that allows auto updating?
Also nice fix lol
there should be
yes
no worky
Report it
did
nice
they said "weird"
you say fix it
i reported the problem, didn't say fix it
well at least they're aware of it
well they should be self aware
Bugs are just something that just exist and coders can't catch them all
That's why dev and experimental build exists and why people make updates and warn others about their being bugs while also allowing people easy ways to report bugs.
Code isn't always perfect. Sometimes you can make a typo or or your code creates an unintended bug that no one bothers to report
