Minecraft plugin DeluxeMenus

🔌 About DeluxeMenus

DeluxeMenus — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that allows creation of fully configurable inventory GUIs (menus) which can run actions, show per‑player items and use placeholders. DeluxeMenus is focused on flexible GUI creation for Spigot/Paper servers and relies on PlaceholderAPI for dynamic placeholders.

🎯 Purpose

DeluxeMenus solves the need for customizable GUI menus without coding. Server owners and admins can build menus that run commands, show stats and adapt per player.

• Create interactive chest GUIs bound to commands or events.
• Use placeholders to display player‑specific data.
• Define different actions for clicks depending on requirements.

⚙ Main features

• Fully configurable GUI menus via YAML menu files (menu definitions are editable). (confirmed by official documentation).
• PlaceholderAPI integration (required). (confirmed).
• Support for optional integrations: HeadDatabase, ItemsAdder, Oraxen to use custom heads/items in menus. (documented as optional).
• Argument support for open commands (example in docs: example command form /Menu <player>).
• Per‑slot conditions / javascript requirements for advanced behaviour (documented in the official wiki).

🧩 Who it fits

• Admins and server owners who need custom GUIs for shops, navigations, kits, or admin menus.
• Servers running Spigot or Paper (DeluxeMenus has been tested on 1.16→1.21 according to the plugin page).

🏗 Examples of use

• Create a lobby navigation menu with buttons that teleport players or open sub‑menus.
• Build a kit selection GUI that shows player‑specific cooldowns via placeholders.
• Make an admin panel that executes server commands when clicking slots.

⌨️ Commands

Menu commands and open‑commands are defined per‑menu in the plugin configuration. There is no single fixed set of menu commands documented in the core release notes — menus specify their own open command.

(Exact command names and permission nodes vary by how you configure your menus. See official wiki for the exact nodes of your menus.)

🔐 Permissions

The official documentation lists commands and permission usage per menu definition. If you need explicit permission nodes, consult the DeluxeMenus wiki or the menu files you create.
