📋 Description

ViaBackwards cannot correctly translate multi-line text displays for clients older than 1.19.4 (see ViaVersion/ViaBackwards#1029). This adds a workarround that spawns multiple single-line text displays for legacy clients instead, which ViaBackwards can translate correctly.

🔍 Changes

When ViaVersion is detected and a player connects with a pre-1.19.4 client, text holograms are rendered as separate single-line displays.


🧪 How to Test

  1. Create a test server with FancyHolograms, ViaVersion and ViaBackwards.
  2. Create a multi-line hologram on the server.
  3. Test with clients older and newer than 1.19.4.
