Making your first Hologram
Build whatever you want You can build what ever you want on top of the white concrete of the Hologram Platform. It is a 16x16x16 Block big area. Tip: Don't place blocks, that you can not see from the outside of the Hologram. This will improve the performance of the Hologram, because each block = 1x entity
Scanning the Hologram If you have finished your Building on top of the Hologram Platform, use the Holo Editor Item to open the Barrel of an empty Hologram Table. Now click the top, left button inside the barrel and your Building will be scanned.
Editing your Hologram
If you open the barrel of a Hologram Table of a scanned Hologram with the Holo Editor Item you can do the flowing things:
- Glowing: Toggle if the Hologram is glowing
- View Range: Changes the view range of the Hologram. With 0.1 being the shortest view range and 1 being the highest view range. You can also use a view range of 0 to turn them inviable. Attention: Higher view range can lead to performance issues!
- Lighting: Changes how the Hologram is illuminated. If set to 0 it just use the lighting of the surroundings. If it is set to 1 - 15 it is forced to this fixed value and therefore darker or brighter than its surroundings.
- Move: This can be used to move the Hologram Table to a different position or to change the size of the Hologram. Click here for more details.
- Lock this Hologram: Can be used to lock the Hologram. No changes can be made while a Hologram is locked and the Barrel-Gui will not open. Can be undone by right-clicking the Hologram with the Holo Editor Item.
