## Display names as holograms on hover

This is the unique and main feature of the plugin. Names are displayed only when hovered over — this allows creating holograms only when needed, which significantly reduces the amount of `Entity` objects and lowers the server load.

The names appear next to the block on the side where the player is standing.

You can also install (https://github.com/DecentSoftware-eu/DecentHolograms)** on your server, then the plugin will create holograms using its more performant API.

## WorldGuard support

If you have (https://github.com/EngineHub/WorldGuard)** installed on your server, you can enable support for it in the plugin. To do this, change the `support-worldguard` parameter in `config.yml` to `true`.

```yaml support-worldguard: true ```

After this, players will not be able to set names in regions they do not own.

## Dynamic hologram repositioning based on player movement

If a player looks at a block and simultaneously moves around it, the hologram will follow their movement, trying to always stay in the field of view.

## Renaming using name tags, commands, and anvils

The plugin supports several methods for setting block names: Using the `/namedchest set` and `/namedchest clear` commands

Using name tags

Using an anvil

You can enable / disable each method in `config.yml` by changing the following parameters:

```yaml # Forbid giving a name through an anvil / Запретить давать имя через наковальню cancel-anvil: true # Giving names through a name tag / Давать имена через бирку support-name-tag: true # Enable command /nc set | Включить команду /nc set enable-set: true # Enable command /nc clear | Включить команду /nc clear enable-clear: true ```

## Support for 15 blocks, ignoring vegetation and fluids

The plugin supports 15 blocks. These blocks include: CHEST (chest) TRAPPED_CHEST (trapped chest) BARREL (barrel) FURNACE (furnace) SMOKER (smoker) BLAST_FURNACE (blast furnace) HOPPER (hopper) DISPENSER (dispenser) DROPPER (dropper) BREWING_STAND (brewing stand) SHULKER_BOX (shulker box)

and all types of copper chests: WAXED_COPPER_CHEST WAXED_EXPOSED_COPPER_CHEST WAXED_WEATHERED_COPPER_CHEST * WAXED_OXIDIZED_COPPER_CHEST

You can also ignore vegetation, water, and other passable blocks on hover. To do this, change the `ignore-passable-blocks` parameter in `config.yml` to `true`.

```yaml ignore-p
