View NPC Portraits While Reading Dialogue
Understanding Inline Portraits
SVDialog Mod displays character portraits directly within dialog boxes, similar to Stardew Valley. This feature helps you see who is speaking without needing separate UI elements.
What You'll See
When an NPC speaks to you:
- A portrait image appears at the left side of the dialog box
- The character's name displays below the portrait with a background panel
- Dialogue text fills the remaining space in the box
Custom Portraits
If an NPC has a custom portrait configured by the modpack creator, you'll see their unique artwork. If no custom portrait exists, a default image may display instead.
Interacting with Dialogue
Simply read the text as normal—the portrait is purely visual and doesn't affect how you interact with the dialogue system. Click to advance through dialogue lines as you would in vanilla Minecraft.
