Minecraft plugin DeluxeMenus

🔌 About DeluxeMenus

DeluxeMenus is a Minecraft plugin for creating configurable inventory-based GUI menus. Server administrators define menus and menu items in YAML; items can display dynamic data via PlaceholderAPI and trigger commands or actions when clicked. The plugin generates a gui_menus folder for external menu files and uses a central config.yml for core settings.

🎯 Purpose

DeluxeMenus solves the problem of building in-game graphical menus without coding. It lets server owners create shops, server selectors, kit menus, informational panels, and other interactive interfaces that run commands or present player-specific data.

⚙️ Features

• Create inventory GUI menus via YAML (external menu files supported).
• Menu items can run commands or perform actions when clicked.
• PlaceholderAPI integration for dynamic item names, lore, and conditions.
• Per-menu and per-click permissions (menu access and click restrictions).
• Commands to open, list, reload, and execute actions for menus.
• Generates plugins/DeluxeMenus/gui_menus and example menu files on first run.
• Uses bStats for anonymous statistics (enabled by default unless disabled).

🧩 Who It Is For

• Server owners and administrators who want custom in-game GUIs (shops, selectors, kits).
• SMP and survival servers that use GUI-based shops or informational menus.
• Networks that need configurable menus with PlaceholderAPI values.

🏗️ Example Use Cases

• A server selector menu that teleports players or runs server-connect commands.
• A shop menu that executes purchase commands when a player clicks an item.
• A kit selection GUI showing player-specific info via placeholders.

⚙️ Installation

📥 Setup

• Download the official DeluxeMenus .jar for Spigot and place it into your server plugins/ directory.
• Ensure PlaceholderAPI is installed before running DeluxeMenus (PlaceholderAPI is required for placeholders to work).
• Run or restart the server; DeluxeMenus will create a plugins/DeluxeMenus folder with a config.yml and a gui_menus folder.
• Check the server console to confirm the plugin loaded successfully and watch for any Java version warnings.

📦 Dependencies

• PlaceholderAPI (required for placeholder support).

🧾 Configuration

• DeluxeMenus uses a main config.yml and supports external YAML menu files saved in plugins/DeluxeMenus/gui_menus.
• When creating a new menu via the plugin, a default external menu file will be generated which can be edited to customize slots, items, placeholders, and actions.

🧠 Technical Notes

• PlaceholderAPI is required for dynamic placeholders in item names, lore, and conditions.
• Java 11 or higher is required for modern releases of the plugin.
• DeluxeMenus collects anonymous stats via bStats (can be disabled if desired).
• The plugin is open-source with a public repository and provides example menus and a wiki for configuration guidance.
• Supported Minecraft versions are listed by the project; verify compatibility with your server version before deployment.

🤝 When This Plugin Is Useful

If you need configurable, YAML-driven inventory GUIs that can show player-specific data and run commands on click, DeluxeMenus is a practical choice for building shops, selectors, and in-game interfaces without custom coding.
