About this Mod
Elite Holograms

- Item Holograms –
/eh createitem <id> <item> <text|with|pipes>spawns a floating item (armor stand head) above the caption, ideal for shops or showcases. - Animated Lines –
/eh animateline <id> <line#> <intervalSeconds> <frame1|frame2|...>rotates text automatically for countdowns, tips, etc. - Scoreboard Reliability – Scoreboard holograms no longer duplicate entries on restart; they reload clean data each time and store configs under
