CozyDisplays

CozyDisplays is a lightweight Paper plugin for creating and managing vanilla TextDisplay-based server displays. It is built for practical server signage: floating text, wall-snapped displays, spawn notes, rules boards, and simple hologram-style text without adopting a large hologram suite.

Displays are created and edited in-game with admin commands, saved to plugins/CozyDisplays/displays.yml, and respawned after restart or reload. CozyDisplays supports legacy & color codes, per-display scale and render range, easy wall snapping, small positioning nudges, and optional PlaceholderAPI text refreshes.

CozyDisplays is intentionally simple and admin-friendly. It focuses on vanilla text display entities and does not aim to replace full hologram platforms with per-player holograms, animations, or complex scripting.

• Vanilla TextDisplay entities for lightweight signage.
• Floating text and simple hologram-style displays.
