Initial Release
ItemHologram adds a floating name tag above every item dropped on the ground, showing its exact inventory name (including custom names and rarity colors) along with its stack count and a live despawn countdown.
Features
- 🏷️ Shows the item's real inventory display name — custom names, enchanted items, and rarity colors are preserved automatically.
- 🔢 Displays the current stack size next to the name.
- ⏱️ Live countdown to when the item will disappear.
- 🧹 The plugin fully manages item despawn timing itself (like ClearLag) — no need to sync with
spigot.yml. - 🎨 Fully configurable via
config.yml: text size, background transparency/color, vertical offset, view distance, and text format. - ♻️ Holograms automatically clean up on pickup, stacking/merging, or despawn — no leftover entities.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11
- Paper or a Paper fork (Purpur, etc.)
- Java 21
Notes
- Tested on Paper/Purpur 1.21.8; expected to work across the rest of the 1.21.x line thanks to stable Paper API usage.
- Not compatible with vanilla Spigot/CraftBukkit (relies on Paper-only APIs).
