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.

Specifies a dialog with a resource location or in SNBT format. Must be a valid dialog definition in SNBT format, or a resource location of an existing dialog (an entry in minecraft:dialog registry). For NBT tag, if it is a string tag, the tag is also parsed into a resource location and resolved into an existing dialog; otherwise, the tag is parsed as a new dialog definition.

• 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
