Cinematic Dialogue

Description

Cinematic Dialogue adds a flexible cinematic dialogue system for Minecraft Forge servers, adventure maps, roleplay worlds, and custom events.

Server administrators can create dialogue messages through an in-game panel, choose who is speaking, customize the presentation, and control exactly which players receive each message.

Features

• Cinematic dialogue HUD displayed independently from the Minecraft chat.
• Smooth typewriter animation, typing sounds, fade effects, and a semi-transparent background.
• Responsive administration panel opened with K or /dialogue menu.
• Send messages to everyone, one player, multiple selected players, or nearby players.
• Create reusable character presets with saved names and colors.
• Separate colors for the speaker name and dialogue text.
• Color wheel and hexadecimal color input.
• Adjustable typing speed, display duration, shake, width, sound, priority, and background opacity.
• Quick dialogue command: /dialogue <speaker> <message>.
• Individual client-side message queues with support for priority messages.
• Interface designed to adapt to the player's GUI scale.

Installation

1. Install Minecraft Forge 47.4.27 for Minecraft 1.20.1.
2. Place the mod JAR inside the mods folder on the server and on every player's client.
3. Launch the game using Java 17.
4. Give permission level 2 or higher to the administrators who will control dialogues.

This mod must be installed on both the server and every connected client because its interface and dialogue HUD are rendered client-side.

Quick Guide

• Press K or use /dialogue menu to open the administration panel.
• Use /dialogue Wizard Welcome to the kingdom! to send a quick dialogue to everyone.
• Use /dialogue clear all to clear dialogues for every player.
• Use /dialogue clear <player> to clear dialogues for a specific player.

The administration panel and all /dialogue commands require permission level 2.

Default Appearance

By default, speaker names are blue, dialogue text is white, and the message box uses a black semi-transparent background. These settings can be customized from the in-game panel.
