*Create and edit inventory menus directly in Minecraft.*

***

GUIPlus lets you build server menus with an in-game editor or YAML. Add commands, conditions, animated scenes and player input, then reuse shared buttons across your menus.

These pages describe **GUIPlus 4.0.0**. If you have just installed it, try `/rewards` for working Daily Rewards, Playtime Milestones and a Starter Choice. You can change the actual prizes with `/gui practical edit`.

### 🎨 Creating GUIs

Start with [Creating GUIs](/guiplus/creating-guis/creating-guis.md), then add [scenes](/guiplus/creating-guis/scenes.md), [animations](/guiplus/creating-guis/animations.md), [click events](/guiplus/creating-guis/click-events.md) and [conditions](/guiplus/creating-guis/conditions.md). For reusable menus, see [Button States](/guiplus/creating-guis/button-states.md) and [Shared Components](/guiplus/creating-guis/shared-components.md).

### 💬 Interactive Menus

[Chat Fetcher](/guiplus/interactive/chat-fetcher.md) handles a single prompt. [Interaction Flows](/guiplus/interactive/interaction-flows.md) collect several answers with a review screen. Both use [Input Rules](/guiplus/interactive/input-rules.md). [Player Data](/guiplus/interactive/player-data.md) stores values you want to keep after the menu closes.

### 📖 Practical Examples

Try [Ready-to-Use Rewards](/guiplus/tutorials-and-resources/ready-to-use-rewards.md), an [EssentialsX Warp Catalog](/guiplus/integrations/warp-catalogs.md) or [Personal Storage](/guiplus/interactive/personal-storage.md). The [Tutorials](/guiplus/tutorials-and-resources/tutorials.md) and [Premade Configurations](/guiplus/tutorials-and-resources/premade-configurations.md) cover custom menus. `/gui examples` installs editable progression, unlock and choice demonstrations.
