Describe the bug
I use decent holograms and citizens on my server both on latest compatible versions, my server is running on 1.20.4 paper, and when I download protocollib and restart the server, some holograms have visible armor stands on them and some npcs (citizens) are gone and their holograms are reversed with some others, that's what happens just from downloading this plugin, is there a way to fix this, because I need it for a lot of stuff I want to add.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I don't really understand this, I really just installed the plugin and it started happening.

Expected behavior
Well, since it's just a dependancy for a lot of plugins, I kinda just want it to sit around and act as the dependency it is, and not disrupting my other plugins.

Screenshots
None

Version Info
Latest, sorry not on PC right now but I can send that later if if possible

Additional context
None

It isn't fixed yet!!!

'Latest' is not a version...
Are there any errors in console?

@Jeppa no errors in the console.. if only it was that simple, and how is latest not a version, well if you want to be specific it's 5.2.0 the latest I believe, it's the only one that works on 1.20.4 anyway

So you're on 'latest' from the project's page which is build 679.
Maybe try dev build 689 .
My 1.20.4 server is running decent holograms (2.8.6) and protocollib (build 678) without any issues.
PS: I just have a few holograms btw. ...

here https://ci.dmulloy2.net/job/ProtocolLib/
(see the Resources links on ProtocolLib's Github page (ReadMe))

@Jeppa I'm only seeing versions such as 5.2.0, 5.1.0, and below, where are those dev builds?

@Jeppa 689 (latest) does the same thing.. and I can't see lower than like 685 I think, what should I do? That problem is probably caused by the new versions.

@Jeppa you there

Still NOT fixed!!!!

@Jeppa 689 (latest) does the same thing.. and I can't see lower than like 685 I think, what should I do? That problem is probably caused by the new versions.

Tested with paper/purpur 1.20.4 and DecentHolograms 2.8.8 with ProtocolLib build 689 --> no issues here!
I'm not running 'citizens' on my server.

Weird, maybe it's caused by a third-party plugin?

Try to run the server without Citizens and see what happens.
btw: what are the versions of citizens and DecentHolograms you are using?

@Jeppa I tried that, definitely not citizens causing the issue, everything was the same except well the npcs.
Citizens version: 2.0.33-b3382
I use decentholograms on version 2.8.8, and it's probably not caused by dh either

Okay I tried removing dh from my server and the armor stands aren't caused by the holograms, they are caused by the crates, then the holograms switch with others, and the npcs dissapear and their holograms switch with others too.
So it's actually causing problems to not 2 but 3 of my plugins, maybe even more that I'm not aware of.

Mabe try this:
you can change the config in Citizens and disable hooking into ProtocolLib:
set general.interop.protocollib to false and see if this has any effect...

@Jeppa alright that could really work, could I do that with the other plugins too?

If they have a similar feature...
