Aviel's Dialogue Mischiefs
Aviel's Dialogue Mischiefs is a NeoForge library for building NPC conversations from JSON files, so a conversation can be written without Java code.
What it does
Dialogue is described in JSON. A file can hold a one-line conversation or a multi-step tree with branches, conditional choices and item exchanges. The framework remembers player decisions, picks random starting lines and lets a conversation open new options once a branch is reached. Developers can connect dialogues to their own entities, NPCs, quests and progression systems, and can trigger commands or sounds along the way.
The mod is aimed at story-driven mods, adventure maps, quest packs and modded servers that need more immersive character interactions. Other modders can define reusable NPC templates and attach dialogue files to entities, which reduces the hardcoded conversation logic a project needs. It is built to work both as a standalone dialogue system and as a library for larger narrative setups.
Aviel's Dialogue Mischiefs runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 0.8.5 as the latest file. The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
