DialogWindow

# DialogWindow Turn any command into a clean in-game GUI — no code required. DialogWindow lets server admins build fully custom dialog menus for Minecraft using simple YAML files. Built on top of Minecraft's native Dialog API (1.21.6+), it gives commands that normally just print text in chat a proper graphical interface instead: buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns, sliders, text fields, and custom item displays. Perfect for warp menus, rule acceptance screens, shop confirmations, settings panels, rank pickers, PvP toggles, or any admin tool that deserves more than a wall of chat text. ## What it does - Define entire GUIs in YAML — no plugin development needed - Add labels, buttons, checkboxes, select menus, sliders, and text inputs - Show custom items with names, lore, skull textures, glow effects, and more - Trigger console and player commands based on what the user picks - Plug in PlaceholderAPI placeholders anywhere — titles, labels, item lore, commands - Organize dozens of menus in subfolders without losing track of anything - Works on both Paper and Spigot ### Examples !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/yJ766vME/images/caffafe7c15c2578dac8233f3b3c2d6563109642.png) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/yJ766vME/images/23d04a5e752b9c009a5387232ce4e1bd2b331c0e.png) !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/yJ766vME/images/28bb28857b0b53a2e4e5e56d25dfa12c5ad1b6f9.png) ## Requirements - Minecraft 1.21.6 or newer - Java 17+ - PlaceholderAPI (optional, but recommended) Older versions aren't supported since the plugin relies on Minecraft's built-in Dialog API. ## Getting started 1. Drop the jar into your `plugins` folder 2. Restart the server 3. DialogWindow generates `config.yml`, `messages.yml`, and an `interfaces/` folder with working examples 4. Edit or add your own interface files 5. Run `/dwreload` — done, no restart needed ## Commands | Command | What it does | Permission | |---|---|---| | `/dwreload` | Reloads config, messages, and all interfaces on the fly | `dialogwindow.reload` | | `/dwreport` | Generates a diagnostic report for support requests | `dialogwindow.report` | ## How an interface looks Each YAML file in `interfaces/` defines one command and its dialog. A minimal warp menu: ```yaml command: name: "warpui" description: "Warp selection menu" permission: "dialogwindow.warpui" dialog: title: "<gold>Warp Menu</gold>" can-close-with-escape: false ui: - label: "<yellow>Select your destination:</yellow>" - item: type: item material: PLAYER_HEAD name: "<gold>%playername%</gold>" skull-owner: "%playername%" glow: true - input: type: checkbox key: confirm label: "<green>Confirm teleport</green>" - buttons: - label: "<green>Teleport</green>" console-commands: - "warp ${destination}" ``` Elements render top to bottom, exactly as listed: labels, items, inputs, buttons — mix and match freely. ### Inputs you can use - **text** – free text field - **checkbox** – on/off toggle with custom return values - **single_option** – select menu / dropdown - **number_range** – slider with min/max/step ### Item display (Paper only) Material, amount, name, lore, skull owner, glow, custom model data, enchantments, item flags, unbreakable — all configurable, all support placeholders. ### Placeholders Built-in: `%playername%`, `%uuid%`, `%world%` Plus full PlaceholderAPI support in titles, labels, item names/lore, input defaults, button commands, and hover text — if PAPI is installed, it just works. ## Use cases Warp menus · shop confirmations · rule acceptance dialogs · PvP toggles · rank selection · settings panels · command configuration UIs · admin tools ## Web Editor Build your YAML visually instead of by hand: (https://www.morelaid.com/dwe) ## Support Discord: https://discord.gg/5zuC36R Before reaching out, please run `/dwreport` and bring the result with you — it speeds up troubleshooting a lot. Questions are welcome in German or English. !(https://bstats.org/signatures/bukkit/dialogwindow.svg)
