Creating Your First Hologram:

1. Once in the game, the /holo commands can be used to create your first hologram.

Common Issues:

1. My plugin is not working:

- Often, if a plugin is not working, it is a problem with its loading or the server version itself. Make sure your server is running a plugin-compatible version like PaperMC and that it is

3. My plugin settings are not being saved:

- Sometimes, a plugin setting is not saved correctly, even after multiple attempts. To combat this, try completely shutting down the server before making edits to ensure
