P1neros dialog Lib
by _p1nero
P1neros dialog Lib is a Forge library that gives mod developers a consistent way to build custom GUI dialogues.
What it does
The library simplifies implementing custom dialog boxes in the GUI with a shared styling, so a developer does not have to draw each window from scratch. Dialogues are assembled like a tree, where each node can branch into different options, and the box height and element positions can be adjusted. Button presses can trigger custom events, and a request code can be sent from the client to the server. A typewriter effect reveals text gradually, and a preference config file controls part of the behaviour.
The library is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with source code published. Files target Forge for 1.20.1, and the latest file is 2.3.0-mc1.20.1-forge, released 2026-03-05. Both client and server need the library, so it has to be installed on each side. It is one of 1114 Library mods with Forge files for 1.20.1.
Its dialogue support extends the Valkyrie dialogue system from TheAether, and the mod includes custom entity usage examples, including a TuDiGong Entity and existing entity examples to refer to. Dialogue translations can be generated with datagen. Only a few styles are functional, so developers should check which ones are available before relying on them.
Key features

Dialog boxes built for the GUI follow one consistent style, reducing the work of building each window by hand.
Branching dialogue trees
Dialogues are constructed as a tree, with branches for each option a player can choose.
Button events and requests
Pressing a button can fire a custom event, and a specified request code can be sent to the server.
