Visual Mod Edit-VNDialog
by sal-fish
Visual Mod Edit-VNDialog is a Forge add-on for VNDialog that lets players edit dialogue in an in-game GUI instead of by hand in JSON files.
What it does
Opening the vme vndialog GUI brings up a set of basic buttons for editing VNDialog content inside the game. Editing pages, node symbol descriptions and file descriptions are listed in the same interface, so a dialogue can be changed without leaving Minecraft. Node fields such as nextId and targetId are set through the screen rather than typed into a text file.
The mod covers the layout of a VNDialog project. The dialog JSON stores the edited conversation, while the portraits, backgrounds and sounds folders hold the images and audio it refers to. Sound files are limited to WAV and OGG. A lang folder holds the translation files, and in translation-key mode the editor writes translations into that file. A mixin layer and a sessions.json file support the editor GUI.
Visual Mod Edit-VNDialog requires VNDialog. It is for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is released under the MIT License. The mod is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
Key features
In-game dialogue GUI
A GUI opened by the vme command lets players edit VNDialog dialogue without writing JSON by hand.
Node editing
Node fields such as nextId and targetId can be set on screen, and node symbols carry short descriptions.
Page and file overview
Editing pages and file descriptions are shown in the editor so a project's structure stays visible while changing it.
Translation key mode
Translations entered in the editor are written to the project's lang file, so localized text stays in step with the dialogue.

How it compares
SoundBlocker is a Forge mod for 1.8.9 that is client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not touch dialogue. EditSign is an open source Fabric and Forge editor for 1.16.5 – 1.19.4 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it runs on the client alone. IBE Editor is open source under the MIT License for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.16 – 1.20.4, with either side able to run it. Interaction Editor needs the server and is not open source.
