FAQ

TIP

If your question isn't here, feel free to create a discussion.

What platforms does HoloPrint work on?

HoloPrint fully works on Android, PC (Windows/Linux/Mac) and iOS/iPadOS.

Note that on iOS/iPadOS, due to Apple's restrictions, you will have to follow separate instructions to use your structures.

HoloPrint works on Safari 16.4 and later.

HoloPrint has not been tested on console platforms.

What Minecraft versions does HoloPrint work on?

Generated HoloPrint resource packs will work best in modern Minecraft Bedrock versions because they use modern Minecraft resource pack features; however, they can be used in versions as far back as 1.18, but there is no guarantee all features will work!

Structure files you use to make your packs can be from any Minecraft version. Even though block IDs from older versions are different to modern versions, HoloPrint automatically updates structures to the latest Minecraft version.

HoloPrint also works in Education Edition.

Does HoloPrint disable achievements?

No, HoloPrint does not disable achievements.

I can't find the “Export” button...

Use this helper resource pack to show all Structure Block buttons.
This is because the “Export” button is hidden by default on all platforms except desktop.

The armour stand doesn't show the hologram

First, try disabling all other global resources and any resource packs applied on worlds, so the HoloPrint resource pack is the only resource pack applied.
If this issue persists, that's definitely a bug! Please create an issue so this can be investigated and fixed.

It doesn't work on a server

This means a server resource pack is intefering with HoloPrint. When you join some servers for the first time, it says you have to download resource packs to play - these resource packs override the armour stand and break HoloPrint. If the server has Java-Bedrock crossplay, there's a high likelihood that it uses Geyser and specifically GeyserOptionalPack, a resource pack which modifies armour stands.

To fix this, you have two options:

1. Contact the server owner(s) and ask them to remove any server resource packs that modify the armour stand entity.

2. Modify the server resource pack for your Minecraft installation. Finding where they are stored depends on your device:

   • If you are on Android, go to /data/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/cache/minecraftpe/packcache/resource/
   • If you are on Windows, go to C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\minecraftpe\packcache\resource\

   Then look through all resource packs and if they contain a entity/armor_stand.entity.json file, delete that file. If you suspect GeyserOptionalPack is causing this issue, look for the resource pack which contains a developer_documentation.md file.

Player controls don't work

This is most likely due to Bugrock, which can break player controls when certain models called "attachables" are rendered on-screen. Attachables are items with custom 3D models, including armour, elytra, trident, shield, bow, etc.

To avoid this, try disabling the paper doll in the top-left, and try looking around in random directions while performing the player control.

Saving the hologram didn't work

Armour stands only save the hologram state while the save particles are showing. Although they will automatically try to save if you get far away, they won't automatically save if you're going through a portal or exiting the world. In that case, make sure to save the hologram settings before going through a portal/leaving the world.

By default, there are 10 backup slots for holograms; this can be changed with the Settings > Advanced > Backup slot count setting.

Additionally, the same bug which sometimes affects player controls also affects hologram saving; refer to Player controls don't work.

Is there a size limit to holograms?

No. However, you may be limited by the Structure Block size limit; in this case, split your structure up into multiple structure files, and combine them into the same pack.

How can I change player controls?

Player controls can be customised on the website in the Settings > In-game controls options.

Why is it so laggy?

First, check there aren't any hidden armour stands around where you're building; you can use punch to activate mode to reduce the lag. Unfortunately, there is no high-performance way to render many ghost blocks in Bedrock Edition. Try splitting your structure up into multiple structure files, and combining them into the same pack.

Can I rename my control items?

Absolutely! Renaming items has no effect on player controls.

Does HoloPrint keep my structure file?

No. All processing is done entirely within your web browser, meaning your files never leave your computer.

For analytics, the first 4 bytes of the SHA-256 hashes of structure files used are uploaded to a database. This is a mathematically generated number that is impossible to find the original file from. Since the same file will give the same number each time, the number of unique structure files seen by HoloPrint can be tracked while keeping users and files anonymous.
