Elite Holograms is a lightweight Minecraft mod for creating, managing, and customizing floating text (holograms) right from in-game commands. Perfect for server info, leaderboards, waypoints, shops, live stats, rules, and decorative text.
Works in single-player worlds, modpacks, and on multiplayer servers. It runs server-side, so on a server your players join with a vanilla client and still see everything. No external placeholder API, no fuss. Just drop it in and start building.
Inspired by Advanced Holograms. Supports Forge (1.19.2, 1.20.1) and NeoForge (1.21.1, 26.1).
For full setup and command details, see the Wiki.
