HolographicMenus

What is HolographicMenus?
Did you always think that commands are a very ugly way to ask the player for input? Every other game has GUIs. Why can't Minecraft have custom beautiful menus as well? If you did, then you'll love this plugin. Holographic Menus adds the possibility to script custom holographic GUI menus that execute a command when a button is punched. Just open the menu with a single command (/menu) and this will pop up:



Features

• Provides a menu that doesn't take all of the player's attention so that he is able to use it even while in danger to get into combat
• Create as many menus and pages per menu as you wish (open them with /menu [name]
• Nobody else is able to see or use a menu you opened (ProtocolLib required)
• Multiple commands per button with CommandsXL
• Configurable sounds when a button is clicked
• Handy, per-menu file configuration system
• Possibility to get chat input to handle command arguments
• If enabled, menus follow when the player moves
• Public menus
• Support for PlaceholderAPI

Compatibilty
Holographic Menus requires Bukkit 1.7.9 or higher and Java 8. It is built to work with Holographic Displays 2.2.7.

Dependencies
ProtocolLib
HM runs without ProtocolLib as well, but it's required to make holograms invisible for other players.
HolographicDisplays
Please note that Holographic Menus plugin is not an official addon coded by filoghost, the author of HolographicDisplays.
CommandsXL
Highly recommended! If you need to run multiple commands with permissions the player does not have or as the console, CXL is the way to go.

Support, bug reports & suggestions
I highly appreciate any kind of feedback and I'm willing to offer support. This is not the place to ask for support, though! Please do not PM me and do not misuse the review function for support requests. I'll do my very best to help if you open an issue at Github. Avoid to use the discussion thread, too, please, unless you don't have a Github account.

HolographicMenus uses YAML files to store data. If you're not familiar with YAML or if you get into trouble for some reason, try out this to fix your file.

Would you like to support us and our work?
If you appreciate the time and work we dedicated to create this server mod in the last years, we thankfully accept any kind of support you would like to offer.

First of all, Holographic Menus uses the Plugin Metrics service by Hidendra and SpigotUpdater by inventivetalent (thank you very much for this services <3 ). It is great motivation to see that our plugin is actually used by a few servers and some of the statistics are really helpful and taken into consideration if it comes to the future of the project. Therefore, please do not disable Metrics.

The reason why Holographic Menus exists and will continue to exist is our own server. We run this rather small project in our spare time and never intended to make a lot of money with it - but to offer a great RPG experience for our incredibly loyal community since 2011 We hope to continue and extend our projects; donations are a significant help.


Thank you very much for your support!
