⚡ SmartMenus

A powerful and modern GUI system for Minecraft servers — built on SmartInvs.

Create anything from simple server menus to shops, rank upgrades, player browsers, quest interfaces, NPC menus, inventory managers, server selectors, and even full-screen 90-slot GUIs.

SmartMenus combines a powerful YAML configuration system with dynamic server data, advanced conditions, scripting, Bedrock support, and a free online visual editor.

No coding required.

📱 Java + Bedrock Support

SmartMenus supports Geyser and Floodgate players.

Your existing Java GUIs can automatically be converted into Bedrock Forms without creating a second configuration.

Supported forms include:

• Simple Forms
• Modal Forms
• Custom Forms
• Dialogue Forms

You can also create dedicated Bedrock interfaces using:

OPEN_BEDROCK_FORM
OPEN_BEDROCK_DIALOGUE

🖥️ Full-Screen 90-Slot GUIs

SmartMenus can use both the chest and player inventory area:

54 GUI slots + 36 bottom inventory slots = 90 interactive slots.

Every slot can use actions, conditions, placeholders, and advanced button types.

Two rendering modes are available:

DEFAULT

Works without additional dependencies and safely restores the player's inventory when the GUI closes.

PACKET_EVENT

Uses PacketEvents to render the bottom inventory entirely client-side.

This means the player's real inventory is never modified, providing crash-safe and flicker-free full-screen interfaces.

---

🔄 Dynamic GUIs

SmartMenus isn't limited to static YAML items.

With DYNAMIC_PAGINATION, menus can automatically generate buttons from live server data.

Built-in sources include:

• 👥 ONLINE_PLAYERS
• 🌍 WORLDS
• 🎒 PLAYER_INVENTORY
• 💎 PLAYER_ENDERCHEST
• 🎖️ PERMISSION_GROUPS

For example, you can create a live player browser where every online player automatically appears as a clickable head showing their:

Name • World • Health • Level • Ping • Gamemode

Players joining or leaving are handled dynamically.

---

🔘 Advanced Button System

SmartMenus provides numerous specialized button types, including:

NONE • INVENTORY • BACK • HOME • NEXT • PREVIOUS • JUMP • PAGINATION • DYNAMIC_PAGINATION • SWITCH • INPUT • CHAT_INPUT

🎒 INPUT

Allow players to physically place items inside a GUI.

Perfect for:

• Custom crafting
• Quest item submissions
• Sacrifice systems
• Upgrade stations
• Item exchanges

💬 CHAT_INPUT

Ask the player for text and capture their response.

Useful for:

• Searches
• Custom names

• Player input
• Configuration menus

🔀 SWITCH

Create dynamic toggle buttons based on PlaceholderAPI values or other states.

Perfect for:

---

⚡ Powerful Actions

Buttons can execute multiple actions, such as:

• Console commands
• Player commands
• Messages
• Broadcasts
• Titles
• Action bars
• Sounds
• Teleports
• Server connections
• Opening other menus
• Random commands
• JavaScript
• And more

Different actions can even be assigned to:

Left Click • Right Click • Shift Click • Middle Click • Double Click

This makes it possible to create highly interactive menus without writing custom plugin code.

---

🔐 Advanced Conditions

SmartMenus includes 23 condition types for controlling who can see or use an item.

Check things like:

• 💰 Vault balance
• 💎 OreoEssentials currencies
• ⭐ XP / levels
• 📦 Vanilla items
• 🎨 ItemsAdder / Nexo items
• 🔑 Permissions
• 🎖️ LuckPerms groups
• 🌍 Worlds
• 🌦️ Weather
• 🗺️ WorldGuard regions
• 🧙 ModeledNPC proximity
• 📍 OreoEssentials warps
• 🔢 PlaceholderAPI values
• 🧠 Mathematical expressions
• 📜 JavaScript

Conditions can prevent players from clicking an item or completely hide the item using view-requirements.

You can also create fallback items using else-item, allowing different items to appear depending on whether requirements are met.

else-item configurations can even have their own view-requirements and another else-item, allowing multi-level conditional displays.

For example:

VIP → MVP → Default

This makes it easy to display different buttons depending on permissions, ranks, currencies, or any other supported condition.
