Description

Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with the plugin. I'm running Sugarcane version git-Sugarcane-"7a5f1f6" (MC: 1.17), I am not sure whether or not this is a sugarcane issue or a Holographic Displays Issue. I'm sorry if it is sugarcane and that's where I'm going next. The error I'm getting is linked below. This doesn't lower my expectations of the plugin and I still really like it. I just wish to know if this will ever be fixed or not. Thanks!
