/dialog

Not to be confused with /dialogue.

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

 

Manages dialog screens displayed to players. Allows server operators to show custom or predefined dialogs in data pack to specified players, and clear any displayed dialogs on their screen.

/dialog show <targets> <dialog>

Shows a dialog screen from inline SNBT or minecraft:dialog registry (usually defined in a data pack) to specified players.

/dialog clear <targets>

Clears currently displayed dialogs for specified players.

<targets>: entity

Specifies the players whose dialog is shown or cleared.

Must be a player name, a target selector or a UUID. And the target selector must be of player type.

<dialog>: dialog

Specifies the dialog to show to the players. This argument is only used with /dialog show.

Must be either:

• A namespaced ID of a dialog defined in a data pack (e.g., custom:my_dialog or minecraft:server_links). These are stored in the minecraft:dialog registry.
• An inline SNBT defining the dialog structure directly in the command. See Dialog § Dialog format for the structures.

• To show the nearest player a dialog located at data/custom/dialog/example/test.json in a loaded data pack:

  /dialog show @p custom:example/test

• To show all players the built-in minecraft:server_links dialog:

  /dialog show @a minecraft:server_links

• To show nearest players a notice dialog with title "Hello" and an "Ok" button in the footer:

  /dialog show @p {type:"minecraft:notice",title:"Hello"}

• To show all players a simple confirmation dialog with two action buttons with the label "Yes please" and "Nope". If the player presses "Yes please", the game runs a command to give the player a diamond, otherwise, if they press "Nope", the game closes the dialog:

  /dialog show @a {type:"minecraft:confirmation",title:"Give yourself diamond?",yes:{label:"Yes please","action":{"type":"run_command","command":"give @s diamond"}},no:{label:"Nope"}}

• To clear any currently visible dialogs for all players:

  /dialog clear @a
