Holobroadcast adopts a special message formatting in order to allow you to display not only text, but also items, particles and sounds!
All the following placeholders can put inserted inside a message to shape the HUD.
You have to use them while using /holobroadcast commands or in settings files!

%nl% ~ Jumps to a new line

(permission: holobroadcast.newline)

Allows you to move to the next line.

Ex: Line 1%nl%Line 2

%bl% ~ Blank line

(permission: holobroadcast.blankline)

Allows you to move to the next line by creating a small space between the two lines.

Ex: Line before%bl%Line after

%item_MATERIAL% ~ Item

(permission: holobroadcast.item)

Display an item in your HUD. You can set a custom model ID to this item to enhance the possibilities!
Using this placeholder will automatically jump to the next line (before and after) so you don't need to perform %nl%.

Usage: %item_<MATERIAL name>[:CustomModelID]%



Ex: This is a red wool%item_RED_WOOL%And this is a green wool %item_GREEN_WOOL%

%block_MATERIAL% ~ Block

(permission: holobroadcast.block)

Display a block in your HUD.
Using this placeholder will automatically jump to the next line (before and after) so you don't need to perform %nl%.

Usage: %block_<MATERIAL name>%

%player_URL% ~ Player Head

(permission: holobroadcast.player)

Display a player head in your HUD with a custom texture.
Using this placeholder will automatically jump to the next line (before and after) so you don't need to perform %nl%.

How to find texture URL?
To find the texture URL of your desired skin, visit this website (Minecraft Heads), and use the value "Minecraft URL" under the "For Developpers" section:


Usage: %player_<Texture URL>%

%backgound_alpha_R_G_B% ~ Background color of Text

%fix_vertical|horizontal_pitchyaw% ~ Fix hologram orientation

You can fix the rotation of an hologram vertically, horizontally or both. When fixing the orientation, you have to provide:

To fix every direction, add both placeholders.

%particle_frequency_PARTICLE,AMOUNT% ~ Particles

(permission: holobroadcast.particle)

Repeats a given particle in your HUD every X (X being the frequence parameter) ticks.
Using this placeholder will automatically jump to the next line (before and after) so you don't need to perform %nl%.
