# 3D Display Entity Holograms (Lite) – 3DEH-Lite
**3DEH-Lite** is a simple, lightweight hologram plugin for **Paper** and **Folia** (1.20+).
Old hologram plugins usually rely on invisible armor stands, which slow down servers when placing too many of them. **3DEH-Lite** uses native **Display Entities** (`TextDisplay`, `BlockDisplay`, and `ItemDisplay`) introduced in recent Minecraft versions. Rendering happens entirely on the client side, keeping server performance smooth and lag-free.

### Features
* **No Armor Stand Overhead:** Powered by native Display Entities to eliminate unnecessary server entity ticking and pathfinding tasks.
* **Folia Ready:** Built to run smoothly across multithreaded Paper and Folia regions without thread locks.
* **Modern Commands:** Built with proper tab-completion and argument validation directly integrated with the client chat interface.
* **Text, Block & Item Support:** Easily place floating text, block models, or items anywhere in your world.
* **Persistent:** Displays are saved asynchronously to disk and automatically reload across server restarts.
