What it is good at
- Inventory-based menus without writing a custom plugin
- PlaceholderAPI support
- Command and permission driven menu actions
What types of servers should consider it?
- Lobby/server selectors
- GUI shops or navigation menus built around other plugins
- Servers that want configurable player-facing menus
Pricing and distribution
The plugin is distributed as a free option. Check the official page for the current download source and license.
What to check before using it
- Complex menus can become difficult to maintain; keep configs modular and test actions/permissions before deployment.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
Practical deployment check: DeluxeMenus shows inventory GUIs driven by YAML rules; a GUI may open while its commands fail due to missing permissions, placeholders or incompatible action syntax.
Common questions
What does DeluxeMenus do?
Configurable inventory GUI menus driven by commands, permissions and placeholders.
Is DeluxeMenus a plugin or a mod?
DeluxeMenus is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install a compatible DeluxeMenus version; define one small menu with a non-destructive item and a permitted action, checking whether PlaceholderAPI expansions are actually required.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Open the menu as a non-OP account and click the test item; confirm both the inventory appearance and the configured action work, then test permission restrictions.
What if it does not load?
If the menu is blank or clicks do nothing, inspect YAML indentation, required placeholder expansions, action labels and console errors. Do not grant broad permissions merely to make a click run.
