DexDialog

Your whole server, one tap from ESC. DexDialog adds a button to the pause screen that opens a native dialog menu — homes, RTP, auction, friends, stats, leaderboards and settings — and you build it all with an in-game editor, no YAML needed.

What you get

◆

A button on the ESC screenPlayers press ESC and your server menu is right there — no command to remember. It can also show in the vanilla quick-actions list.

◆

Click-to-edit, in game/dexdialog editor: pick a menu, click a button, change it in plain words. Changes save instantly, with Undo for the last 20 edits. Start new menus from templates: Warps, Shop, Rules, Socials, Staff tools.

◆

Player settings that really workSeven categories — Chat, Notifications, PvP, Visuals, Privacy, Scoreboard, General — with options DexDialog enforces itself: hide public chat, who can /msg you, combat timer, night vision, phantom spawning and more.

◆

Built-in leaderboards & statsMoney, deaths, kills, mobs killed, blocks placed/broken and playtime are counted into SQLite. Or pull ranks from PlaceholderAPI (ajLeaderboards style).

◆

Chat, DMs and teleportsGlobal and friends chat channels, /msg and /r, plus its own /tpa system with warmup, cooldown and a combat block — or keep EssentialsX.

◆

Every client coveredJava 1.21.6+ gets dialogs, older clients get a chest GUI built from the same files, and Bedrock players get native forms through Floodgate.

◆

Works with DexFriendsThe Friends button, "Friends only" privacy values and the /fchat channel all use DexFriends. The button hides itself when DexFriends isn't installed.
