How do I only show the Hologram to specific Players?

Showing a Hologram only to specific players through the API is a bit of effort.
A Hologram is by default displayed to everyone and just removing the players from the list of viewers won't work just like that.

Instead, after getting your Hologram you have to change its default visibility state to false:

hologram.setDefaultVisibleState(false);

After that, set the player that should be able to see the Hologram:

hologram.setShowPlayer(player);

You can also remove players from the viewer list:

hologram.removeShowPlayer(player);

If you want to do the oposite - show the Hologram to everyone except certain Players - can you do that too using the setHidePlayer method:

hologram.setHidePlayer(player);

This method also has a counterpart to remove players from the list:

hologram.removeHidePlayer(player);

Important to note is, that the setDefaultVisibleState needs to be set to true for the setHidePlayer method to work. This is the default state for a Hologram, unless you changed it.
