Blabber

Are you a modpack maker who wants their players to talk to more than a quest book? Are you a modded server owner who wants to sprinkle some ✨immersion✨ in their world? Are you perhaps a modder who is looking for an easy-to-use dialogue library with expansive tooling?

Blabber is a mod and library for displaying interactive dialogues to your players. Just write your dialogue description files, then start them on demand!

## How it looks

Or like that:

You get to choose per-dialogue.

And here's a little video showcase too:

## How it works

### Commands

Blabber adds the `/blabber` command, allowing server operators and mapmakers to interact with the mod through commands.

• `/blabber dialogue`
• - `/blabber dialogue start [] []` : Starts a dialogue for one or more players.
• - `` : the unique identifier for the dialogue
• - `[]` (optional) : If specified, must be either a player's username or a target selector. If unspecified, defaults to the player using the command. When used in a command block, `[]` is not optional.
• - `[]` (optional) : If specified, must be a target selector for a single entity. If unspecified, defaults to no interlocutor.

Blabber will automatically load all JSON files in the `data//blabber/dialogues` directory. Those can be provided either by mods, or by datapacks.

Each file describes the various states a dialogue can be in. You can find the full description on the website: https://ladysnake.org/wiki/blabber#format

Q: (Neo)Forge?

A: I do not wish to spend development time supporting Forge. However, on 1. 20. 1, you can use the (https://modrinth.com/mod/connector) mod to make Blabber run regardless. If you are a mod developer who wishes to provide support for another loader, you can get in touch with us on our Discord server.
