GUI admin utils
by pavle.012
GUI admin utils is a datapack that gives server administrators graphical menus for moderation and server tasks, built on Minecraft dialogs.
What it does
Admins open menus and carry out actions without typing long commands. The menus are built with Minecraft dialogs, which display interactive screens in place of chat command lines, so the chat stays clear. The aim is faster and safer moderation on multiplayer servers.
The datapack runs on vanilla, Paper and Fabric servers and works alongside most plugins and datapacks. Dialogs require game versions 1.21.6 and above, so the mod covers the 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 range. Only the server needs the datapack, while a player may add it or leave it out. The code is under the MIT License, so it is open source.
Key features
Graphical admin menus
Menus replace long commands, letting administrators pick actions from screens instead of typing syntax.
Dialog-based interface
Interactive dialogs display the menus, keeping chat free of command spam.
Moderation actions
Moderation tasks are grouped behind menus, so routine server management needs fewer keystrokes.
Lightweight datapack
The mod is a pure datapack with no Java code, adding little overhead to a running server.

Use cases
Moderating a busy server
Staff can open a menu to act on a player, rather than memorizing command arguments during a live session.
Running alongside other plugins
Server owners who already use plugins or datapacks can add the menus without replacing their existing setup.
Who it’s for: Server owners and staff teams on multiplayer servers who want menu-based moderation instead of chat commands. Players who only join a server need no installation.
How it compares
No ESC in GUI is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it changes nothing on the server. Admin Tools is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.21.8, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. GUI admin utils is a datapack that works on either side, and neither needs it.
