About
So in Minecraft, you click that crafting table and put things in, no one else knows what you are doing.. Aren't we supposed to be able to see that items pop up on the table logically? **With this plugin, you can! See items placed on the crafting table literally as players put them in in their GUI! *And much more!***

Q&A
How does /iv toggle works?
There are three modes in /iv toggle, they enable or disable certain mechanics used for the displays. "itemstand" stands for any visual items that are created with armorstands (the ones that lay flat on the blocks and don't float like normal dropped items) and itemframes (i.e. the CartographyTable map) "itemdrop" stands for any visual items that is a dropped item "hologram" stands for all the floating text (e.g. furnace progress bar) The player data used for /ic toggle is saved in the database.
I got an error saying that there are some problems while saving blockdata.json, what do I do?
This is most likely caused by the server not shutting down properly. But regardless of what is the cause of the problem, you can always _go to the InteractionVisualizer plugin folder and replace the blockdata.json with one of the backups in the backup folder_.
Placeholders
With the plugin PlaceholderAPI installed, you can get the toggle status of a player using placeholders, they are:
%interactionvisualizer_itemstand_<entry>%
%interactionvisualizer_itemdrop_<entry>%
%interactionvisualizer_hologram_<entry>%
If a player has enabled, for example, the itemstand module for the Crafting Table, %interactionvisualizer_itemstand_crafting_table% will return enabled, if it is disabled, it will return disabled
