Are you a modpack maker who wants their players to talk to more than a quest book?
Are you a modded server owner who wants to sprinkle some ✨immersion✨ in their world?
Are you perhaps a modder who is looking for an easy-to-use dialogue library with expansive tooling?
Blabber is a mod and library for displaying interactive dialogues to your players. Just write your dialogue description files, then start them on demand!
How it looks

Or like that:
You get to choose per-dialogue.

How it works
Commands
Blabber adds the /blabber command, allowing server operators and mapmakers to interact with the mod through commands.
/blabber dialogue/blabber dialogue start <dialogue> [<targets>] [<interlocutor>]: Starts a dialogue for one or more players.<dialogue>: the unique identifier for the dialogue[<targets>](optional) : If specified, must be either a player's username or a target selector. If unspecified, defaults to the player using the command. When used in a command block,[<targets>]is not optional.[<interlocutor>](optional) : If specified, must be a target selector for a single entity. If unspecified, defaults to no interlocutor.
Format
Blabber will automatically load all JSON files in the data/[namespace]/blabber/dialogues directory.
Those can be provided either by mods, or by datapacks.
Each file describes the various states a dialogue can be in. You can find the full description on the website: https://ladysnake.org/wiki/blabber#format
