This is already planned for v3 of DH which is in the making.
Is there a branch with this progress or is it in need of any extra help for minimessage support, I've worked with and added support to quite a few plugins and would love to get minimessage working for holograms
any news?
bump?
Bumping this won't make it be implemented any faster. If you want it, PR the change yourself.
MiniMessage support need
This feature would be amazing! Looking forward to it soon.
d0by mentioned this to me once, that there is honestly no benefit of using MiniMessage here that can't be implemented in DecentHolograms itself through some own method. In fact, MiniMessage and Adventure would only add bloat for the most part as quite a few features aren't usable here:
The only beneficial features are colors and formatting here (And the gradient pattern), which can be implemented directly instead of relying on some 3rd-party library...
That's at least the stuff I recall d0by mentioned to me, but it was a long while ago.
There is some sense in your words. In fact. There are just plugins that use the DecentHologram API, and while supporting minimessage, they try to display the minimessage format and encounter the fact that decenthologram itself shows bare markup. There are not many such plugins and they all support the legacy format, but still
Just making sure
Problem
Some plugins only support MiniMessage text and will not work with the legacy colour code system. Due to this, some PlaceholderAPI placeholders have been modified for MiniMessage and cannot be used in Holograms.
Feature
I'd love DecentHolograms to follow suit with other plugins and switch to Adventure and MiniMessage (Or even just MiniMessage using serialisers)
Alternatives
The only other alternative for my unique case would be asking the other plugin to support legacy colour codes, but looking at the broader picture, MiniMessage is a lot more human-readable and widely adopted already, so would greatly improve the user's experience if you added support.
