Buttons

All information about the buttons

Informations

Buttons allow you to customize the actions of your inventory. You have to specify the type of the button each time and configure the elements specific to the type of button. Here you find the buttons that are integrated by default in the plugin, other plugins can also add new types of buttons.

For each button you will have to specify an ItemStack, to know how to configure an itemstack go here.

TYPE

type: <button type>

The type of the button, by default the type will be NONE.

SLOT

slot: <number between 0 and inventory limit>

slot: <page>-<slot>

Position the slot on which your item will be displayed.

Slots start at 0.
You can specify the page number directly in the slot. You should do it like this: <page>-<slot>. So for example for a button on page 2 and slot 8 we have: 2-8.
To have multiple items on the same slot you must use the else button.

To display a button on several slots you can do like this:

slots:
  - 0
  - 1
  - 2
  - 3
  - 4
  ...

You can also create slot ranges this way: <startslot>-<end slot>

slots:
  - 0-9 # From slot 0 to slot 9
  - 18
  - 17
  - 26
  - 27
  - 35
  - 36
  - 44-53 # From slot 44 to 53

Allows you to specify the page where the button will be displayed. By default the page will be number 1.

DYNAMIC PAGINATION (zMenu+)

Lets you create a dynamic inventory with placeholders. You can use this to create a ranking for example. The only limit is your imagination.

In the example if below you have placeholders generates by zMenu+ as an example.

%zmenu+_pagination_size% Returns the size of your list. This value will change when loading the plugin.

%zmenu+_pagination_name_<index>% Returns text based on the index. The text is generated automatically when loading the plugin.

You must then specify the start and end of the pagination. For this you have the start and end, which works with PlaceholderAPI.

Then have 3 internal placeholders to help you get the button number that is displayed.

%index% - Returns the index of the button, starts at 0.

%current% - Returns the index of the button + 1, starts at 1.

%value% - Returns the value of the button. If your pagination does not start with 0 you must use se placeholder to retrieve the index of the button.

name: "&8Dynamic Pagination &7%page%/%maxPage%"
size: 54
items:
  pagination:
    type: DYNAMIC_PAGINATION
    start: 10 # You need to specify the beginning, here 10. But the easiest way is to start at 0
    end: "%zmenu+_pagination_size%" # The number or pagination must stop
    slots:
      - 20-24
      - 29-33
    item:
      material: IRON_INGOT
      name: "&fHey its &e%zmenu+_pagination_name_%value%% &8- &f%index%"
      lore:
        - "&7Index&8: &f%index%"
        - "&7Current&8: &f%current%"
        - "&7Value&8: &f%value%"

  next:
    type: NEXT
    isPermanent: true
    slot: 50
    item:
      material: ARROW
      name: "&fNext"

  previous:
    type: PREVIOUS
    isPermanent: true
    slot: 48
    item:

INPUT (zMenu+)

Allows you to let the player write a message in the chat and perform actions in case of success or error.

Input type:

NUMBER - Allows to check a number, you can set a minimum and maximum
TEXT - Allows to check a text, you can set regex
