Frequently asked questions

How do I make my first menu in BetterGUI?
Create a new .yml file in the plugin's menu folder (the file name becomes the menu name). Define the menu settings such as title and rows, add buttons with an item, name and lore, then reload the plugin and open it in-game.
How do I open a menu I made?
Use the plugin's open-menu command with your menu's file name, for example /openmenu yourmenu. You can also give the menu its own command in the menu settings so players can type something short like /shop.
How do I make a button run a command when clicked?
Add a command section to the button and list the commands there. A prefix chooses who runs it: for example console: runs it as the server and player: runs it as the clicking player. Without a prefix it runs as the player by default.
Can a button send a message or play a sound?
Yes. Use the message-style action (such as tell:) to send text to the player and the sound action to play a sound by its Minecraft sound name. You can stack several actions in the same button's command list, and they run in order.
