Title

Required?	Type	Supports Placeholders?
Yes	String/StringList	Yes

This section is for setting the title of the menu.
It can be just one string, or a list:

# Single title
Title: 'This is one title'

# Multiple titles, delayed by the frame-delay
Title:
- 'Title 1'
- 'Title 2'

Commands

Required?	Type
No	String

The command string, use an ; to add an alias command (ex: cmd1; cmd2) This can also be a section to state more details

• Name

  Type	Supports Placeholders?
  String	No

  The command to open the menu, use an ; to add aliases to the command (ex: cmd1; cmd2; cmd3)

• Description

  Type	Supports Placeholders?	Default
  String	No	Opens the <menu> Menu!

  The description when someone types /help <menuCommand>

• Usage-Help

  Type	Supports Placeholders?	Default
  String	No	/<menuCommand> [argument]

  The usage to the command when the someone types /help <menuCommand>

• Usage-Command

  Type	Supports Placeholders?	Default
  String	No	Usage: /<cmd> [arguments]

  The usage to the command when the command doesn't have enough arguments when someone types /<menuCommand> [arguments]

• Leniant-Args

  Type	Supports Placeholders?	Default
  Boolean	No	True

  Should we ignore if a command has more arguments than nessesary, or strinctly prohibit arguments to the amount stated (usually no arguments if just using simple menu commands)

• Arguments

  Type	Supports Placeholders?
  Node	No

  The type of argument an argument must be to open the menu.
  To add multiple, just seperate them by a space! (ex: 'Player Integer Offline String')

  These arguments can be used as placeholders, called by %argument_<id>[_<placeholder without %'s>]%, the id is the position the argument is in, and the placeholder is any placeholder (if the type is Player).
  Arguments can be used as a normal placeholder, the only thing is that they are manipulated by what a player types into chat to open the Menu.
  A better example on how to use arguments below

  Valid Nodes:

  • String: Anything, argument can be literaly anything but empty
  • Integer: A Number, argument must be a numerical value
  • Player: A Player, argument must be the name of an online player
  • Offline: Any player, argument must be the name of any player (Warning, placeholders will not function on offline players)

  Example:

    # Arguments Example
    Commands:
      Arguments: 'Player Integer String'

  The first argument from the example above Player, can be used to get placeholder pointing to that player with %argument_0_<placeholder>%, lets say we want to get the players name, we would do %argument_0_player_name%

  The second argument being an integer could be used on purchasing items, or literally anything else, the way we get this integer would be the following: %argument_1%

  The third argument is a string, this can be used for anything, and the way we get this string would be the following: %argument_2%

Example:

# Simple Commands
Commands: 'cmd1; cmd2'

# Advanced Commands
Commands:
  Name: 'cmd1; cmd2'
  Description: 'Opens the cmd1 menu'
  Usage: '/cmd1 <player> <integer>'
  Leniant-Args: true
  Arguments: 'Player Integer'

Worlds

Restrict a menu to certain worlds, or allow only certain worlds!
This will make open commands and tab completion invisible to players

• Whitelist

  Type	Supports Placeholders?
  StringList	No

  List all worlds you'd like to restrict a menu to function in

• IsBlacklist

  Type	Supports Placeholders?	Default
  Boolean	No	False

  Make the world be a blacklist, not allowing those worlds to open the menu

Example:

Worlds:
  Whitelist:
  - 'world_nether'
  - 'world_the_end'
  IsBlacklist: false

Frame-Delay

Required?	Type	Supports Placeholders?	Default

Let's you set the delay (in ticks) in which the inventory Title will switch through (if more than one). If delay is set to 0, it will be forced to 20!
