You have seen images or even GIFs displayed in ItemFrames/Maps?

Well, AdvancedGUI takes that to the next level.

You can now create fully interactive custom GUIs that can be used for pretty much anything you can imagine. And the best thing: You can build your GUIs within minutes using our extremely intuitive web editor.

You are not even limited to placing GUIs on walls, with handheld GUIs players can use a GUI in their hand navigating a cursor with their gaze.

There is just too much to tell! Make sure to check out our Showcase and Feature section.












Check out our showcase-server: AGShowcase.hopefuls.de
(Version 1.8.8 - 1.17 | Works best on 1.16)

You can download the layout files for some of these GUIs and check them out in the web editor: https://advancedgui.app/

Then I would love to hear about it! We have a suggestion channel on our discord where the most upvoted suggestions get added.

Basics:
First, you will need to install AdvancedGUI and ProtocolLib on your server. Then restart your server and AdvancedGUI should be successfully installed!
Using PlaceholderAPI adds a lot of functionality to your GUIs through Placeholder-Checks, so you might want to install that too.
For the Money-Check to work and for "run command as OP", you will also need to install Vault (not required).

If you are running a server on version 1.8 - 1.10 and use bungeecord, you will also need to install this bungee bridge which fixes a native Minecraft issue where maps stop working after switching the server.

Creating your first GUI:
To create a GUI you use our web editor: https://advancedgui.app/
You get started by "Add component" on the bottom-left and see where your creativity takes you from there (see Tutorial section if you need more help on that). Once you are satisfied with your GUI you should download the layout file. This gives you a file converted to a format that is understood by the plugin.
Place the layout .json-file in the layout/ folder of AdvancedGUI and do "/ag reload". Now your GUI should be available ingame. You can see all your Layouts with "/ag layouts".

Placing and managing GUIs ingame:
You can place a GUI with "/ag place [Layout-Name]" and clicking the top-left ItemFrame of a matching ItemFrame grid. Or you can obtain a GUI Item with "/ag item [Layout-Name] (Player)" if it's a 1x1 GUI.
There are some more commands for managing, just do "/ag help" to see all available commands and what they do.

Feel free to request support on our discord if you get stuck at any point on the way. We will be happy to help you out. Just make sure to really read this resource page first ^^

There are some awesome extensions created by @Bownser

Nascraft - The items exchange
Create a shop with dynamic prices (Supply & demand) and graphs in-game without resourcepack!

LevelBoard - A customizable BattlePass-like board
Use a cool-looking board to reward your players for their progress!

Skyblock AGUI
Add physical GUIs from AdvancedGUI to your SuperiorSkyblock2 islands!




Using AdvancedGUIs API is where things get really mind-blowing as you can create GUIs with virtually no limitations. Think friend-list, trading-system, party/guild management, plot selection, ...

Check out our getting started page for the API:
https://wiki.advancedgui.app/wiki/api.html

AdvancedGUI is extensively documented, so take a look at the Java Docs for specific API information:
https://advancedgui.app/apidocs

If you have some fancy idea of what you would like to do but you are not yet sure what the best way to implement it is, then just get in touch with me on discord and I'll make sure to clear things up.

As an example of how to extend a GUI created with the web editor, I have created a GUI Addon for my other plugin AdvnacedBan.
Here is how it looks in action:

You can find the code on GitHub (this extension might not follow best practices for some part as it has been designed for an older API version that worked fundamentally different): https://github.com/DevLeoko/AdvancedBan-AG-Addon

*Disclaimer:
You purchase the plugin, not the web editor. The web editor is a free tool we make accessible to everyone who has purchased this resource to intuitively create the GUI layout files. We will do our best to keep the web editor online at all times and in case this project gets discontinued any private code (which is just very little) will be made public. Access to the web editor may get restricted for users that leak this resource (or do other bad things ^^).

Supported Server Software:
At this time we only provide support for using the plugin with Spigot, Paper, and Bungeecord (using the bungeecord bridge). Any other forks are not officially supported and might cause issues with the plugin.
We will add official support for Purpur in the future, as 33% of our users are already using AdvancedGUI on Purpur server ( bStats - AdvancedGUI).

Please DO NOT post a bad review before trying to get support on our discord.
