Customizable GUI's#

BentoBox 1.17 API introduced a function that allows to implement customizable GUI's. This addon is one of the first one which uses this functionality. We tried to be as simple as possible for customization, however, some features requires explanation. You can find more information how BentoBox custom GUI's works here: Custom GUI's

How can I customize GUI's

To customize Addon GUI's you need to have version 1.5. This is a first version that has implemented them. Addon will create a new directory under /plugins/BentoBox/addons/Visit with a name panels

Currently you can customize 2 GUI's:

  • Main Panel: main_panel - panel that contains all islands.
  • Manage Panel: manage_panel - panel that contains some configuration options.

Each GUI contains functions that is supported only by itself.

What does PREVIOUS|NEXT button type?

The PREVIOUS and NEXT button types allows creating automatic paging, when you have more islands than spaces in GUI. These types have extra parameters under data:

  • indexing - indicates if button will show page number.

    title: visit.gui.buttons.previous.name
    description: visit.gui.buttons.previous.description
    data:
      type: PREVIOUS

Commands#

Tip

[player_command] and [admin_command] are commands that differ depending on the gamemode you are running. The Gamemodes' config.yml file contains options that allows you to modify these values. As an example, on BSkyBlock, the default [player_command] is island, and the default [admin_command] is bsbadmin. Be aware, that this addon allows changing player commands aliases in addon config.yml file.

  • /[player_command] visit <player>: opens GUI or visits targeted player island.
  • /[player_command] visit configure: opens GUI that allows to manage visiting settings.
  • /[player_command] visit setlocation: allows to change visitor spawn location.
  • /[admin_command] visit <player>: opens GUI that allows editing addon settings and configure island data.

Permissions#

Tip

[gamemode] is a prefix that differs depending on the gamemode you are running. The prefix is the lowercased name of the gamemode, i.e. if you are using BSkyBlock, the prefix is bskyblock. Similarly, if you are using AcidIsland, the prefix is acidisland.

  • [gamemode].visit - Let the player use the '/[player_command] visit' command.
  • [gamemode].visit.configure - Let the player use the '/[admin_command] visit configure' command.
  • [gamemode].visit.setlocation - Let the player use the '/[admin_command] visit setlocation' command.
