Main menu configuration

menu_main.yml configuration guide

The menu_main.yml file controls the main quest menu — the first screen players see when they run /quests. This menu is a grid of your quest pools; clicking a pool opens its own Quest pool configuration menu.

Here is the full default file:

# Don't touch this
config-version: 0

title: "Quests"

menu-rows: 6
has-close-button: true

filler:
  enabled: true
  item:
    material: black_stained_glass_pane
    name: " "

# You can override the default items here
items: {}

# Define your custom menu items here
custom-items: {}

Options

  • config-version - Internal version number. Don't touch this, the plugin manages it.

  • title - The inventory title shown at the top of the menu.

  • menu-rows - How many rows (1–6) the chest menu should have. Each row is 9 slots.

  • has-close-button - Whether to show a close button. The button's appearance is taken from the shared close item in Common menu configuration (you can override it via items below).

  • filler - If enabled: true, every empty slot is filled with the given item. See Item config for the item format.

  • items - Override the shared menu items for this menu only. You don't need to copy the whole item — whatever you put here is merged on top of the default from menu_common.yml. The items used by the main menu are close, previous-page, current-page and next-page.

  • custom-items - Add your own decorative or informational items. Keys must be unique. See Item config.

Where do the quest pool icons come from?

The main menu does not define the pool icons here. Each pool's icon, slot and page come from that pool's own menu-item section — see Quest pool configuration. A pool only appears in this menu if its menu-item.show-in-main-menu is true (and the player has it unlocked, or it is set to always show).

Pages

There is no page count to configure here. The number of pages is derived automatically from the highest menu-item.page value among your visible pools. If more than one page exists, the pagination items (previous-page, current-page, next-page) are shown; otherwise they are hidden.

Placeholders

On a pool icon (configured in the pool's menu-item.item) you can use:

  • {name} - The pool's name.

  • {total_completed} - How many quests the player has completed in that pool.

  • {lb_position} - The player's leaderboard position in that pool.

  • {lb_position_percent} - The player's position as a top-% of the leaderboard.

  • {lb_size} - The size of that pool's leaderboard.

On the pagination items you can use {current} (current page) and {total} (total pages).

Locked pools that are set to always show in the menu will have their menu-item.locked-lore lines appended to the icon. Clicking a locked pool does nothing.

Example: a 3-row menu with a custom info item

config-version: 0

title: "&8» &6Quests"
menu-rows: 3
has-close-button: true

filler:
  enabled: true
  item:
    material: gray_stained_glass_pane
    name: " "

items:
  # Move the close button to a different slot just for this menu
  close:
    slot: 22

custom-items:
  info:
    material: oak_sign
    slot: 4
    name: "&eHow quests work"
    lore:
      - "&7Pick a quest pool below and"
      - "&7start completing objectives!"
