/km guide#

Opens the built-in getting started guide menu.

Format: /km guide

Permission: kamenu.admin

Notes:

  • The guide menu is loaded from inside the plugin jar into memory and is not written to the menus directory
  • It helps with first-time language setup, example release, and example menu descriptions
  • When no menus are loaded and an OP player joins the server, KaMenu sends a clickable prompt to open this guide

Examples:

/km guide
/kamenu guide

/km language#

Sets the plugin language and immediately reloads configuration and menus. The language ID is the .yml filename under plugins/KaMenu/lang/, without the extension.

Format: /km language <language_id>

Permission: kamenu.admin

Alias: /km lang <language_id>

Examples:

# Switch to Simplified Chinese
/km language zh_CN

# Switch to English
/km language en_US

/km examples#

Releases built-in sample menus for the selected language to plugins/KaMenu/menus/example/.

Format: /km examples [zh_CN|en_US] [overwrite]

Permission: kamenu.admin

Aliases: /km example, /km release-examples

Notes:

  • If no language is specified, KaMenu uses the current language in config.yml
  • Both Chinese and English examples are released to menus/example/; no runtime exampleEN directory is created
  • Existing files are skipped by default
  • Add overwrite to replace existing sample menus with the same names
  • Menus are automatically reloaded after release

Examples:

# Release examples using the current language
/km examples

# Release Chinese examples
/km examples zh_CN

# Release English examples
/km examples en_US

# Overwrite Chinese examples
/km examples zh_CN overwrite

/km pause#

Generates or removes the ESC pause screen entry datapack. register reads pause_menu.yml from the plugin root and compiles its static KaMenu-style layout into a vanilla Dialog.

This command is available only on Paper/Folia and forks exposing the compatible Paper custom-click API. Spigot returns an unsupported-platform message.

Format:

  • /km pause register — Generate the entry datapack from plugins/KaMenu/pause_menu.yml
  • /km pause unregister — Remove the datapack generated by KaMenu
  • /km pause info — Show current entry status and datapack path

Permission: kamenu.admin

Examples:

/km pause register
/km pause info
/km pause unregister

Notes:

  • The datapack is written to world/datapacks/KaMenuPauseEntry
  • KaMenu releases the default pause_menu.yml during startup when the file is missing and never overwrites an existing file
  • Adding, changing, or removing it requires a full server restart before the ESC pause screen changes
  • KaMenu registers one ESC entry; configure its internal button matrix under Bottom.buttons
  • Body.message supports Legacy, MiniMessage, and static <text=...> clickable text
  • Static Inputs are supported; buttons with actions receive client input through $(key)
  • Titles, Body, input labels, and button text do not resolve runtime values; button actions may use PAPI, KaMenu variables, conditions, JavaScript, and action packages
  • A target opened through menu is still parsed as a complete regular KaMenu menu
  • See ESC Pause Menu for the full syntax

/km reload#

Reloads plugin configuration, menus, or package folders without restarting the server. If no target is provided, KaMenu reloads everything.

Format: /km reload [all|menu|actions|js|lang|config]

Permission: kamenu.admin

Targets:

Target Description
all Reload all modules. Same as omitting the target
menu Reload only menu files under menus/
actions Reload only global action packages under plugins/KaMenu/actions/
js Reload only global JavaScript packages under plugins/KaMenu/js/
lang Reload only the current language file
config Reload config.yml, language files, and custom commands

Each target returns its own statistics: total, success, failed, and elapsed ms. For config, the counted items are custom commands under custom-commands. When no target is provided, or when all is used, KaMenu prints each module's reload result in sequence.

Example:

/km reload
/km reload menu
/km reload actions
/km reload js
/km reload lang
/km reload config

/km item#

Manage saved items, including saving held items, giving saved items, and deleting saved items.

  • /km item give <item-name> — Give yourself 1 item (players only)
  • /km item give <item-name> <amount> — Give yourself a specified number of items (players only)
  • /km item give <item-name> <player> — Give 1 item to a specified player (console-compatible)
  • /km item give <item-name> <player> <amount> — Give a specified number of items to a specified player (console-compatible)

  • Deleting an item permanently removes it from the database

Examples:

# Save the held item
/km item save diamond_sword
/km item save vip_reward

# Give yourself 1 item
/km item give diamond_sword

# Give yourself 10 items
/km item give diamond_sword 10

  • After /km item give , Tab shows all saved item names
  • After /km item delete , Tab shows all saved item names
  • After an item name, Tab shows all online players (give command only)

/km action#

Test and execute a specified action for debugging and verifying action configurations.

Format: /km action <player> <action>

Permission: kamenu.admin

Notes: This command can be used by both players and the console; a target player must always be specified.

Supported action types:

  • Supports all server-executed action prefixes, such as tell:, actionbar:, title:, hovertext:, command:, chat:, console:, sound:, open:, force-open:, close, force-close, reset, server:, tppos:, data:, gdata:, list:, glist:, meta:, toast:, money:, stock-item:, item:, js:, and more.
  • Action-chain or menu-context actions such as wait, return, run-task:, stop-task:, stop-current-task, page:, and actions: can be entered, but some effects depend on the current menu config or task lifecycle.
  • url: and copy: are Paper Dialog static button click events. They only work as a single menu button action and are not useful /km action test targets.

For a full list of action types, see Actions.

Examples:

# Send a message
/km action Player1 tell:Hello World

# Play a sound
/km action Player2 sound:block_note_block_harp;volume=1.0;pitch=1.0

/km action Player3 title:title=Test;subtitle=Subtitle

# Operate data
/km action Player4 data:type=set;key=test;var=100

# Supports variables and PAPI
/km action Player5 tell: Your level is %player_level%, score is {data:score}

Tab completion:

  • After /km action , Tab shows all online players
  • After a player name, Tab shows supported server action prefixes

Custom Quick Commands#

In addition to /km open, you can register custom quick commands in config.yml that map a short command directly to opening a specific menu:

custom-commands:
  shop: 'server_shop'   # Players run /shop to open server_shop
  menu: 'main_menu'     # Players run /menu to open main_menu

For detailed configuration, see Custom Commands.
