ViaVersion Support

When ViaVersion is installed, GiftcodeX automatically detects each admin's client version:

  • 1.21.6+ clients use the native Dialog input (a popup form with labeled fields).
  • Legacy clients (below 1.21.6) fall back to chat input mode automatically.

The GUI editor displays a hint in each item's lore indicating which input mode is active for the current viewer (dialog input or chat input). No configuration is required.
