So

#

I just need to clarify one thing

#

https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/create-a-hologram-library-nms-or-protocollib.590999/

In this example, the implementation of the holograms has 3 abstract classes for each NMS version that you would use. Is this because of how THIS example is made? What do people usually do when doing holograms with nms multiversion? Is this normal?

Introduction

This tutorial is for intermediate spigot devs who want to spice up their library with Holograms.
You need to know how abstraction works....

It is most definitely "normal", as in it's one of the good practises out there. The advantage is that you compile against the actual methods instead of searching and invoking them through reflection at runtime. On the other hand, it sucks that you need to do this for every major.minor.release version of your target version range.

I do it completely differently, but that's really not as simple to explain as this approach would be. I think you'd be better off sticking to the guide, as it looks like you're new to the topic over all.

Ok fantastic, So indeed for each version I would need to make, in this case, 3 NMS files

#

Thanks

Hey @paper locust so in this example. Lets say I have 2 versions, to test. With the NMS implementations for each one. How do I make my plugin chose the correct one?
