Hologram Projector is a modern, sci-fi utility mod for Minecraft that introduces a powerful pedestal capable of projecting giant, glowing, 3D rotating holograms of any item or block in the game!


✨ Core Features

  • 🔮 Floating 3D Holograms: Place any item, weapon, tool, armor, or block onto the pedestal to project a magnificent enlarged 3D hologram above it.
  • 🔄 Smooth 360° Animation: Holograms slowly rotate 360 degrees while gently floating up and down in a smooth sine-wave motion.
  • 💡 Glowing Light Effect: Rendered with maximum brightness logic (Light 15), making your trophies and legendary loot shine brightly even in total darkness.
  • 🖱️ Seamless 1-Click Control:
    • Right-Click with an Item: Places the item into the projector and starts the hologram immediately.
    • Right-Click again: Clears the hologram and cleanly returns the item back to your inventory.
  • 📦 Dedicated Creative Tab: Quickly find the Hologram Projector under its own custom Creative Inventory tab.

⚙️ In-Game Configuration & Customization

Customize your holographic projections in real-time without ever restarting the game!

🪟 Visual Settings & Opacity Control

  • 🎨 Custom Hologram Tint: Enable or disable custom color tinting to either display original item textures or give them a futuristic neon glow.
  • 🪟 Real-Time Opacity Slider: Adjust the hologram's translucency from a subtle ghost-like 10% transparency up to 100% solid opacity.
  • 💡 Full Brightness Glow: Toggle maximum illumination so your 3D floating holograms shine brilliantly even in pitch-black darkness.

🌈 Interactive 48-Color Visual Palette

  • 🖱️ One-Click Selection: Click "Open Color Palette..." to choose from 48 curated vibrant colors — including classic holographic cyans, neon matrix greens, laser reds, plasma purples, cyberpunk pinks, and clean grayscales.
  • ✨ Instant Preview: Hover over any color to inspect its HEX code, see your live selected color badge, and have it immediately apply to your world when confirmed.
  • 📱 Fully Responsive: Automatically scales and fits smoothly across any screen resolution and GUI scale setting.

📐 Dynamic Animations & Full 3D Item Support

  • 📐 3D Hologram Scale: Scale your floating projections anywhere from compact 0.2x miniatures up to massive 3.0x centerpiece displays.
  • 🔄 Rotation & Smooth Bobbing: Customize the 3D spinning speed and toggle the gentle floating bobbing animation.
  • 🛡️ Full Special Item Support: Flawlessly renders standard items, blocks, and complex 3D entity models — including Shields, Banners, Skulls, Tridents, and Spawners — with proper translucency and color blending!


🔌 Dependencies & Requirements

  • NeoForge: Required to run the mod.
  • Cloth Config API (NeoForge) (Recommended / Optional): Required to access the in-game Configuration GUI and visual color picker screen via the Mods menu. (If not installed, the mod still functions completely fine with default settings or manual JSON config edits!)

🛠️ How to Use

  1. Obtain the Hologram Projector block from the Creative Menu or craft it.
  2. Place the pedestal down in your base, trophy room, museum, or shop.
  3. Right-Click the pedestal while holding any item (Diamond Sword, Shield, Netherite Ingot, Enchanted Golden Apple, Dragon Egg, etc.).
  4. Sit back and watch your rare items hover in mid-air as glowing 3D holograms!
