⚡ 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

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

One configuration. Java and Bedrock.

🖥️ 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.

Dynamic GUI Example

🔘 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
Admin interfaces
Player input
Configuration menus

🔀 SWITCH

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

Perfect for:

PvP toggles
Fly toggles
Player settings
Preferences
Feature switches

⚡ 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.

🎨 Modern Item & Text System

Customize GUI items with:

Custom materials
Custom Model Data
ItemsAdder
Nexo
HeadDatabase
Enchantments
Glow
Item flags
Dynamic lore
Auto-updating placeholders
Hex colors
Gradients
Rainbow text
PlaceholderAPI

SmartMenus can continuously refresh menu items, making live statistics and dynamic interfaces easy to create.

🌐 Network Support

Create network server selectors using:

SERVER_CONNECT

Compatible with Velocity and BungeeCord networks.

Use SmartMenus to build server selectors, game-mode selectors, lobby navigation, or complete network hubs.

🧙 NPC GUIs

SmartMenus integrates directly with ModeledNPCs.

Bind a GUI to an NPC and automatically open it when players interact with them.

Great for:

Shops
Quest NPCs
Bankers
Teleporters
Dialogue systems
Server selectors
Reward NPCs

🔌 Integrations

SmartMenus supports optional integrations with:

PacketEvents
PlaceholderAPI
Vault
LuckPerms
WorldGuard
ItemsAdder
Nexo
HeadDatabase
ModeledNPCs
OreoEssentials
Geyser / Floodgate

None of these integrations are required for the core plugin.

Install only the integrations your server needs.

💰 OreoEssentials Integration

SmartMenus has deep integration with OreoEssentials.

Use unlimited custom currencies such as:

Tokens • Gems • Crystals • Coins • Shards

You can build shops and interfaces using any configured OreoEssentials currency.

SmartMenus can also restrict menu items based on OreoEssentials warps or require a player to physically be near a specific warp before interacting with an item.

This is useful for:

Physical server shops
NPC stores
Banks
Region-based menus
Teleport interfaces
Quest locations
