DialogueUtils
DialogueUtils lets server owners build Pixelmon-style dialogue menus, input screens and on-screen notices from commands, using Pixelmon's own dialogue system.
What it does
Dialogue screens come in several forms. Simple dialogues show basic text, choice dialogues offer players a set of options to pick from, and input dialogues let a player type custom text through a command. A screen can be set to stay open or close when the Escape key is pressed.
The notice system shows text overlays in the game, including Pokémon items. Notices can carry a title, quoted words and placeholder values from PlaceholderAPI, and a command can run on the player or from the console. Using notices requires the dialogueutil.notice.text permission. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.16.5 and 1.21.1. It depends on Kotlin for Forge and Pixelmon, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Choice dialogues
Choice dialogues present several options, and each option can be tied to an action for the player to pick.
Input dialogues
Input dialogues ask the player to type custom text, which the command can then use.
Notice overlays
Notice overlays appear on screen with a title, quoted text and Pokémon items, all triggered through commands.
PlaceholderAPI support
Dialogue and notice text can include PlaceholderAPI placeholders, so the content can change with player data.

Use cases
Server quest hubs
A server can greet players with a dialogue screen and offer choices that lead to different quests or rewards.
Event announcements
Notice overlays can show a title and short text to every player on a Pixelmon server during an event.
Who it’s for: The mod suits Pixelmon server owners who want menus, prompts or on-screen messages without writing a separate interface. Players do not need it on their own client.
How it compares
Pixelmon Utilities is a Forge-only client-side mod for 1.12.2 and is not open source. Textcreator is a client and server mod for Fabric and Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, also not open source. PixelCringe is a client-side debloater for Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, so it changes the client rather than adding dialogues on the server.
