Members Menu

Here you'll find how to make your own members menu from scratch.

General Sections

First, give your menu a custom name by adding a title (string) section. After that, you may configure other general options of your menu: previous-menu (boolean) to enable opening of previous menu when closing the menu; type (string) to set the inventory-type of the menu; open-sound (sound) for setting a custom sound when opening the menu.

The title of this menu supports custom placeholders: {0} - the amount of members the island has; {1} - the member limit of the island.

You may find a list of valid inventory-types on this link.

Pattern Section

Let's work on the pattern section. The pattern section is the area where you can configure the layout of your menu. It is a list of strings that each char in them represents a different item that will be displayed in your menu. The pattern list should contain a list of 1 to 6 lines that each will have 9 chars - spaces are not counted as chars. If you have two same chars in different slots, then the items in these slots will be identical. Configuring how items will look like is not done here, but in the items section.

Paged-Type Menu Sections

The members menu is a paged-menu, which means it displays items from a list of available items - in this case, island members. Because the amount of members can be greater than the amount of available slots, the menu supports multiple pages.

This type of menu requires 4 additional sections: slots - char of the member buttons. previous-page - char to set a custom button that will get players back to the previous page. current-page - char to set a custom button that will display the current page players look at. next-page - char to set a custom button that will get players to the next page.

Items Section

That's the place where you configure your items. You can find a tutorial on how to properly configure an item here.

Custom Placeholders

The items of the paged-menu (slots, previous-page, etc) support custom placeholders! slots - {0} - The member's name. {1} - The member's role. previous-page, next-page - {0} - Green color (&a) if can navigate to the previous/next page, red color (&c) otherwise. current-page - {0} - The current's page number.

Clicking a member button opens the member manage menu for that member.

Sounds Section

In this section you can configure custom sounds that will be played when players click the items in the menu. You can find a tutorial on how to properly configure sounds here.

Commands Section

In this section you can configure custom commands that will be executed when players click the items in the menu. You can find a tutorial on how to properly configure commands here.

Permissions Section

In this section you can configure required-permissions for your items that players must have before they can click an item. You can find a tutorial on how to properly configure permissions here.
