Usage Notes and Troubleshooting

Usage Notes

• Accessing GUIs: GUIs are accessed via commands (e.g., /claim menu for MAIN_MENU) or by interacting with flags (e.g., clicking ClaimIcon to open ICON_SELECTOR or ChangeBiome to open ClaimUpgradeBiomeSelector).

• Custom GUIs: Default custom GUIs (e.g., ICON_SELECTOR) dynamically populate items and require a matching section in items. User-defined custom GUIs (e.g., ClaimUpgradeBiomeSelector) are added in config.yml and loaded from _EN-suffixed files.

• Themes: Apply themes via the theme field in the GUI’s data section (e.g., clean_4 for ClaimUpgradeNoEnter). Custom themes can be created by adding <theme_name>_EN.yml files.

• Customization: Admins can modify menu_title, rows, args, theme, item properties, and config.yml settings to tailor the GUI experience.

• Placeholders: Use placeholders (e.g., %griefprevgui_getbyid_flags_parma_ChangeBiome_{claimid}%, <itemname>) to display dynamic information.

• Navigation: Multi-page GUIs include Previous and Next sections for easy navigation, typically in slots 47 and 51.

Troubleshooting

• GUI Not Opening: Verify that the GUI file exists and is correctly formatted. For custom GUIs, ensure they are listed in config.yml under gui.custom_guis and the file name ends in _EN (e.g., ClaimUpgradeBiomeSelector_EN.yml). Check for errors in the server console.

• Theme Not Applied: Ensure the theme field in the GUI’s data section matches a <theme_name>_EN.yml file in the theme folder (e.g., default_EN.yml). Verify the theme file’s syntax.

• Items Not Displaying: Ensure slot is a valid integer (0–53 for a 6-row GUI) or slots is a valid list of integers, and that view_requirement conditions are met. Check that GUI item priorities are lower than theme item priorities (e.g., 1 or 2 vs. 5).

• Navigation Not Working: Confirm that Previous and Next sections are defined in the items section for multi-page GUIs, typically in slots 47 and 51.

• Dynamic Items Missing: For default custom GUIs, confirm that the required section (e.g., ICON_SELECTOR) is present in items.

• Commands Not Executing: Check that left_click_commands, right_click_commands, or click_commands are correctly defined and use valid syntax.

• Broken GUI: Avoid editing version or gui_type in the data section for default GUIs. For custom GUIs, ensure gui_type matches the custom_guis entry.

• Disabled GUIs: If a GUI is disabled in config.yml (disabled_guis), use the gpgui.bypass.guidisabled permission to access it.
