DialogMaster - Next-Generation Client-Rendered Dialog Screen Engine

Say goodbye to old-school chest GUI interfaces! DialogMaster is a next-generation Minecraft plugin for Paper and Folia that brings native, client-rendered Dialog screens directly to your players.

Using Minecraft's official Dialog Packet Protocol (introduced in modern Minecraft versions 1.21.8+), it renders sleek, premium, and fully interactive menus directly on the player's client. Eliminate inventory click lag, ghost items, and server-side container menu glitches while offering a modern, high-end user interface that matches triple-A games.

Key Features

Native Client-Rendered Screens
Utilizes Minecraft's built-in client dialog protocol to display pristine informational boxes, purchase prompts, selector grids, and server link hubs. No client mods required!

Zero Inventory Lag & Ghost Items
Eliminates all server-side inventory-based lag. Because menus are rendered by the client, there are no click desyncs, inventory drag exploits, or laggy chest openings.

Item Sprites & Skin Heads (No Resource Packs!)
Embed actual item sprites in your menus, buttons, tooltips, and lists using the <item:material_name> tag! Renders client-side using Minecraft's item atlas. You can also display player skin heads using the <head:playerName> tag natively.

Native Client Input Fields
Turn your menus into interactive forms! Confirmation menus support multiple native client inputs:

Text Fields: Support custom character limits, placeholders, and multi-line text boxes (perfect for report reasons or home names).
Number Sliders: Native horizontal sliders with configurable min, max, snap steps, and formats (great for pay/withdraw amounts).
Boolean Toggles: Native client-side on/off switches.
Single Option Dropdowns: Sleek dropdown menus with customizable option lists (ideal for lang/particle settings).

DeluxeMenus-Style Logic Engine
Control exactly who sees what. Set up view-requirements to hide/show buttons or click-requirements to block actions based on PlaceholderAPI evaluations (supports ==, !=, >, >=, <, <=, and contains).

Priority Layout Groups
Define multiple designs for a single button slot. The plugin scans requirements top-to-bottom and automatically renders the first valid layout—perfect for displaying kit cooldown states or rank restrictions!

Dynamic Lists & Templates
Populate menus on-the-fly! Generate buttons dynamically for Essentials homes, online players, or friend lists. Use simple modes or configure custom templates with replacement placeholders like $(home_name) or $(player_name).

High-Performance Asynchronous Leaderboards
Showcase your top players! Set up paginated leaderboards for Vault economy or statistics (e.g. kills, mining blocks, playtime). Everything updates in the background off-thread to protect your server TPS.

Pause Menu & Quick Actions Button Injector
Inject custom server buttons directly into the client's ESC pause screen and G quick-actions bar at bootstrap time! Players can open the main menu instantly without typing a command.

Interactive Chat Hovers & Item Sharing
Enhance chat with Adventure API. Setup beautiful join/quit messages with detailed stats on hover, or let players use the /share command to showcase their held item with full client tooltips.

Folia & Paper Native Support
Built from the ground up to be safe for multithreaded servers. All I/O, database actions, and leaderboard queries run asynchronously, utilizing region-aware schedulers.

Instant Setup Guide (3 Simple Steps)

1. Drop DialogMaster.jar into your server's plugins/ directory.
2. Make sure you have PlaceholderAPI (and optionally Vault / EssentialsX) installed.
3. Restart your server. Configure your menus in plugins/DialogMaster/menus/ and type /ydm reload to apply!

PlaceholderAPI Placeholders

Leaderboards are powered by ajLeaderboards placeholders directly:

ajLeaderboards Placeholders
%ajlb_lb_vault_eco_balance_<rank>_alltime_name% ➡ Top balance player name at rank N
%ajlb_lb_vault_eco_balance_<rank>_alltime_value% ➡ Top balance formatted value at rank N
%ajlb_lb_statistic_player_kills_<rank>_alltime_name% ➡ Top killer player name at rank N
%ajlb_lb_statistic_player_kills_<rank>_alltime_value% ➡ Top killer formatted value at rank N
