• Critical Update: We've addressed an issue that previously allowed text entities to be inappropriately saved into the game world.
  
  
• New Feature: Fix Rotation Placeholder. This feature enables you to lock the vertical, horizontal, or both rotations, providing you with greater control over your holograms. Usage:
  • For fixing vertical rotation (yaw), use: %fix_vertical_<yaw>%
  • For fixing horizontal rotation (pitch), use: %fix_horizontal_<pitch>%
  • To fix rotations in all directions, simply use both commands.

Please replace <yaw> and <pitch> with your desired values.

- Added background color for text holograms. It uses the ARGB (alpha red green blue) system. Usage: %background_<alpha>_<red>_<green>_<blue>% (you should input value between 0 and 255)
- Fixed errors that were misleading with entity deletion.

This update comes as a rework to allow easier support and take advantage of the new features of 1.19.4 Display Entities. The plugin no longer uses ArmorStands as holograms but directly uses efficient and customizable entities called Display Entities (TextDisplay, ItemDisplay, BlockDisplay).
TL;DR This update allows the support of all versions from 1.19.4 to the latest one.

CAUTIONS:
- Versions below 1.19.3 (included) are not compatible anymore.
- The plugin hasn't been tested on a large-scale server. Since it is using a new mechanic, there are some possible unexplored issues/performance issues. Please report them as soon as you encounter a problem.

New Features are also added in this version:
- Possibility of using Custom Model Data on items. Add the ID of the model data after the material: %item_MATERIAL: model id%
- Added player head with custom texture: %player_ TEXTUREURL% (you can find the texture URL on Minecraft Heads website, by using the value "Minecraft URL" under "For Developers" section)
- Added a Block hologram. %block_MATERIAL%

Other features:
- Text Holograms are multiple lines. As long as you don't add sound, item, head, particle, or block, the usage of %nl% will act as a '\\n' in the hologram.

Future:
- I plan to take advantage of the Display entities customization possibilities: Size, color, background color, orientations, and more...

Thank you very much for your patience. I hope it will fit your expectations.

Fix and improvements

Fix a big problem with some version following the update to keep the hologram white even in a block.

Lands support isn't working for now. They actually miss something in their API to allow me using it (it creates an error).
While I'm waiting for an answer, this version allow you to disable Lands from being hooked in HB, so you can run HB without conflict with HB.
To disable it, just put "false" in settings.yml for the setting:
lands:
hud-on-enter-land:
enabled: false

HOLOGRAMS CAN'T DARKEN ANYMORE WHEN MOVED ON A BLOCK
(Thanks @Pandemonium)
