DialogueDesigner

What DialogueDesigner is

DialogueDesigner is a free, open-source web editor for interactive NPC dialogue in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. A dialogue file can hold any number of scenes, which players navigate through buttons. The visual editor has Edit and Preview modes; Preview shows how dialogue looks and behaves in-game, including translated versions. Text supports Minecraft formatting codes and raw JSON, which can include translations and dynamic data such as scoreboard values. Custom commands can run when a dialogue opens or closes, or when a player presses a button. Translations are saved as language files in a resource pack’s texts folder. Documentation places exported dialogue files in a dialogue folder inside a behavior pack. Using the dialogue requires an NPC entity; the built-in NPC entity is an option for simple applications. The project uses the GPL-3.0 license. Its app page credits JannisX11 in collaboration with Mojang Studios, while the repository identifies JannisX11 as project owner. Documentation recommends knowing the basics of resource and behavior packs before creating NPC dialogue.
